The Daily Bruin

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.

• Daily guest passes can be purchased for $7 by anyone 18 or older.
• The guest must be accompanied by a student, employee or member possessing either a valid George Fox ID card or other Hadlock Student Center membership card.
• The guest must be accompanied by their sponsor throughout the duration of their time using the facility. Guests are limited to five visits per month.
• Approved guests will need to complete the guest waiver before entry to the HSC.
• A guest pass allows guests to use the facility and also participate in group fitness classes, climbing wall classes, and climbing competitions. Registration for these activities is required through IMLeagues.
• At this time, the guest pass does NOT allow access to outdoor recreation trips and activities, intramural sports, and special events offered by Campus Recreation (unless otherwise specified).
• To use equipment in the facility (like basketballs and climbing shoes) the sponsor must check out the equipment for their guest. However, a membership or guest pass is NOT required to rent outdoor equipment from the HSC Rental Center.

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.
