The Bridge Cafe will be closed on Wednesday, June 16, in observance of the university’s Day of Prayer. Students, employees and members are encouraged to focus on their spiritual wellness this day through prayer and retreat.
The Bridge Cafe will reopen for normal hours of operation at 9 a.m. on Thursday, June 17.
Starting today (Wednesday, June 9), the fire systems will be tested in the following buildings:
The testing will take about one hour for each location, and it will take three to four days to test all of these buildings (academic buildings are also being tested). The test will be noisy, as the alarm is quite loud (as it’s designed to be). We will try to silence the alarm when it sounds, but the test will involve several iterations of the alarm sounding.
Thank you for your patience! Contact the plant services office with any questions (plantservices@georgefox.edu).
The Hadlock Student Center will be closed on Wednesday, June 16, in observance of the university’s Day of Prayer. Students, employees and members are encouraged to focus on their spiritual wellness this day through prayer and retreat.
Hadlock will reopen for normal hours of operation at 6 a.m. on Thursday, June 17.
Yamhill County is dropping back down into the moderate risk level, per Oregon Health Authority guidelines. Starting Monday, June 14, the Hadlock Student Center will now be allowing pick-up basketball games and other “full contact” sports and activities.
At this time, however, we are still requiring masks for vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals. We expect distancing and mask requirements to go away once Oregon reaches 70% vaccination status and the state government gives the go-ahead to do so.
Another change happening as a result of the dropping risk level is that we will now be allowing guest passes to resume for patrons of the center. Please see the policy below and contact AJ Heil (aheil@georgefox.edu) if you have any questions in this regard.
Guest Passes
Following are the guidelines for guest passes.
Campus Recreation will occasionally allow access to the facilities for visiting individuals and limited-duration employees or volunteers who do not qualify for a George Fox ID card. Contact the director of campus recreation to discuss the specifics of your situation.
As of this Monday, June 14, the Hadlock Student Center will not be requiring reservations for working out or using the Hadlock Student Center.
The Oregon Health Authority has changed guidance that now allows us to not track user data so closely and will allow us to indefinitely relax these guidelines. We will continue the use of IMLeagues reservations for top rope climbing hours, climbing classes, and fitness classes.
Please note that our summer hours for Hadlock are Monday through Friday, from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. We look forward to seeing you at Hadlock and encourage you to still say “hi” when you check in!

The George Fox College of Engineering invites high school students ages 16 to 18 to join us for our inaugural high school Maker Camp July 12-16!
If you know a high school student who loves hands-on projects, figuring out how things work, and exploring the latest technologies in making, send them this link to register for Maker Camp 2021.
Participants will expand their skills with 3-D modeling and printing, automation, computer programming and design as they work alongside George Fox engineering students and faculty to create their own custom engineering devices, utilize industry tools and equipment, and make new friends.
We will take time each day to engage in spiritual reflection, build relationships, and enjoy the beautiful George Fox campus. Maker Camp participants will hear from industry professionals about ways engineering intersects with their walk with Christ and why, as a Christian, they love being in the field of engineering.
