The Daily Bruin

Updated dates: PGE will be replacing the very old underground electrical lines that service the Murdock Library with new service lines, starting on Wednesday, July 7. The work is expected to continue through Friday, July 9.

The library will be closed during this time, as there will be no electricity to the building. It should reopen Saturday, July 10. Questions? Contact Plant Services at plantservices@georgefox.edu.

Please note that there will be a volleyball camp happening in the Hadlock Student Center July 1-3. There will also be basketball camps occurring July 5-9 and July 12-16. During each of the three camps, all basketball courts will be unavailable throughout the day.

The Oregon Writers project is offering an incredible writing camp July 12-16 for 4th-9th grade students!  We are partnering with Airways Science to give students a hands-on, exciting camp. It will be held on-campus in the Robert’s Center from 9 am – 12 pm each day and the cost is $125. Scholarships are available based on need. 

If you have any questions, contact Dr. Carol Brazo at cbrazo@georgefox.edu.

Starting Thursday, July 1st, all users of the Hadlock Student Center will be required to sign a new waiver in order to use the facility for sports, exercise, or other activities. For employees and general students, they can find it here, under “Employee Resources” or “Student Resources” and “University Forms”. For guests and other members, it is located here. Please keep in mind that everyone needs an updated facility waiver starting July 1, 2021.

In addition, every person participating in rock climbing needs to rewatch the Bouldering Orientation Video and take the Bouldering Assessment Quiz again. Please note that climbers need to watch the video even if they have watched it before as it contains some useful reminders and information.

The Bridge Cafe will be closed in observance of Independence Day this Monday, July 5.

Check out the George Fox tennis program’s Junior Summer Tennis Camps for all ages and skill levels! These camps will be serious fun and will greatly improve skills, all while cultivating a love for the sport. And, as a bonus, kids of George Fox employees get 40% off!

Thank you for continuing to wear a face covering when shopping at the Bruin Community Pantry’s food bank. We would prefer that our volunteers not be required to ask each person to show proof of vaccination. Considering the small space, we want to be able to keep everyone safe, so face coverings will continue to be required to access the food bank.

Thank you for your cooperation. Contact Jere Witherspoon (jwitherspoon@georgefox.edu) if you have questions.

Starting Wednesday, June 30th, masks will no longer be required to be worn while using the Hadlock Student Center for either vaccinated or unvaccinated individuals. All sports and activities will resume with no distancing or modifications required. Students, employees, and members are encouraged to give each other space, when possible, and to respect the personal choice of others that choose to continue wearing masks or refraining from certain activities.

Due to the predicted high temperatures expected next week, we will not be serving the taqueria on the Bridge Café patio on Monday, June 28, or Tuesday, June 29. Instead, we will be offering some new made-to-order sandwich concepts in the café on those two days.

On Wednesday, June 30, the Bridge Café will be open from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., but there will be no lunch offered on the patio. Instead, we encourage you to attend the Staff Development Committee’s annual summer barbecue on the quad that day from noon to 1 p.m. The cost is $5, and all university employees, including student employees and faculty, are invited.

Questions? Contact Lisa Miles at lmiles@georgefox.edu.

This weekend we are expecting record-setting temperatures Saturday through Monday. To best protect our equipment, Plant Services will be shutting off the large air conditioning systems for Saturday and Sunday. Bauman Auditorium is hosting an event until 2 p.m. on Saturday, so the air conditioning will be shut down after the event.

By turning these systems off, if a power event (such as a brownout) occurs over the weekend, the university’s equipment will not be affected. By taking these steps, the university will not be contributing to a large power draw over the weekend, either.

We will bring the systems back online on Monday, June 28. The systems affected are in:

• Canyon Commons
• Duke Athletic Center
• EHS
• Hadlock Student Center
• Hoover
• Klages Center
• Lemmons Center
• Murdock Library
• Roberts Center
• Ross Center
• Stevens Center
• Thomas Center
• Wheeler Sports Center
• Wood-Mar Hall

Air conditioning in the lobby areas of the following buildings will also be shut off:

• Brandt Hall
• Edwards Hall
• Newlin Hall
• Sutton Hall

Please contact Plant Services (plantservices@georgefox.edu) if you have any questions. Thank you!
