Get into the holiday spirit and donate a food-related gift card to help foster and local families in need!
We will be collecting donations starting today (Tuesday) until Wednesday, Nov. 25. Drop-off baskets are located at Information Services in the Stevens Center, ASC, SPIL, and the College of Christian Studies office.Â
We are accepting gift cards to fast food and local restaurants, grocery stores, food delivery, Visa gift cards, etc. Thank you for your donation!
The student life office is now selling George Fox-branded face coverings! This machine-washable, cloth face covering features the George Fox athletic logo as well as adjustable straps and a shapeable metal nose piece. It also includes an insert location for an optional filter (not included).
Your purchase helps us support our students through the George Fox Student Emergency Fund. Thank you for helping us care for our community!
All orders must be picked up at the student life office in the Hadlock Student Center, after purchase.
Starting Monday, Nov. 30, the Bruin Store will be transitioning to our winter break hours of 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, by appointment only.
Please call the store at 503-554-2540 to set up an appointment time, or feel free to order from our website.
Returning textbook rentals:
We understand that many students will need their rented textbooks over a portion of the break to study for finals. You are responsible for returning your textbooks to the Bruin Store (please do not drop them off at the Library) on or prior to the rental due date, which is Friday, Dec. 18.
If you are finished with your book early, you may come to check it in at any time. If you take it home, please mail it back to us at the address below. In order for your mailed book to be considered “on-time,” it simply needs to be postmarked by the due date.
Address for mailing textbook returns:
Bruin Store 409 Carlton Way Newberg, OR 97132
Instructions for having someone return textbooks on your behalf:
It is acceptable for a friend or family member to bring your book by the Bruin Store on your behalf. They will need to have your first and last name, the phone number that was used for the rental account, and your patron ID number that is included in your rental reminder emails. However, if the rented book is damaged, the person who is checking in the textbook will be responsible for paying the damage fees.
Students who need to bring a car to campus temporarily or those who need to bring a different car to campus, other than the one that is registered, need to obtain a temporary parking permit from the Campus Public Safety office.
These permits are free of charge and are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They are available for a two-week period after which a permit must be purchased if you still wish to park on campus.
Please do not park on campus without a temporary permit, and please do not park in the neighborhoods. Due to crowded adjacent city streets, George Fox requests that all employees, students, and visitors only park in the designated facilities on campus.
This is a way for George Fox to be a responsible member of the Newberg community and promote a positive witness. Thank you for your help in this area!

The Hadlock Student Center will be closed starting Wednesday, Nov. 18, in accordance with the new state mandate.
The closure will stay in effect for the two-week freeze (Nov. 18 through Dec. 2) unless extended. We will then reassess plans to reopen for winter break.
As you are preparing for the extended Christmas break, please keep in mind the shipping address of your packages.
Double-check to make sure the shipping address for your online orders is the location that you are staying at during winter break and not your campus address.
