The Daily Bruin

What is protest? How has the church been involved in protest? Should Christians protest? These are all topics that will be discussed at the Intercultural Resource Center’s first Mathetes event, which will be hosted over Zoom at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 30.

Come hear from Rusty St. Cyr, Keisha Gordon, Victoria Prieto, and Mercy Love about their protest experiences and integration with faith. Chapel credit is available on the iAttended app.

You can RSVP here. Questions? Contact Hannah Lee (hlee17@georgefox.edu).

For the first time ever, we are able to add meal plans for graduate students!

If you are interested in adding either of our “Block Plans” or another meal plan, please email housing@georgefox.edu and we will get it set up within one business day for you to start getting food!

The Bridge Cafe is open from 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., and so should be available during your hours on campus.

Part of being able to offer graduate meal plans is our new app: GET mobile. The app is used over 500 times daily by our undergraduates to order and pick up meals and beverages to go.

If you would like to use the app to order food to go, follow these instructions:

• Download the “GET Mobile app” by searching your phone’s app store for GET MOBILE
  • The app is grey and says “GET.”
• Launch the app and find George Fox University from the list of schools
• Enter your George Fox username and password
• It may ask you to enter your email and phone number
  • A phone number is required to notify you when your order is ready
• Land on the Dashboard, with a (1) Accounts, (2) Transactions, and (3) Order section
• Add a credit card or debit card on file when making your first order
• To place an order select “Start an Order”
• Choose the Bridge Cafe
• Place your order
  • Some options can be preordered and some can only be ordered for ASAP (weekly rotating menu in Canyon Commons)
• View your cart and select your payment method
  • You can add a card during your first order

When you get the notification that your order is ready, you can pick it up at the station right outside the Bridge Café. No waiting in line!

The Disability Services Office is recognizing Deaf awareness in the month of September. The Deaf community has made amazing contributions to our culture, such as American Sign Language (ASL), a language of its own, which has allowed for communicative doors to be opened.

Meeting new people can be exciting, but be aware that there are people with bad intentions who do use dating apps like Tinder,  Bumble, or the many other social meeting apps.

A victim of a crime is never at fault and should not be blamed for their actions. For those who would like to know what precautions they can take in order to reduce the risk of victimization, we offer the following tips:

• If you plan to meet a stranger either on campus or off campus via an online app, let someone know where you are going, who you are meeting, your expected meeting time, and how long you plan on visiting.
• If you feel comfortable doing so, bring a friend along for the first meeting.
• Meet in a public setting that is well lit with others around and drive your own transportation if necessary.
• Do not get in a vehicle with someone you just met.
• Remember, if you ever start to feel uncomfortable, you have the right to end the meeting and leave.

Safety escorts are available through Campus Public Safety 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. If you feel unsafe, please call our office so that we can escort you to your destination (503-554-2090).

The CDC recently changed its guidelines requiring all individuals who: a) spent at least 15 minutes with someone who tests positive for COVID-19, and b) was closer than six feet apart to be quarantined for 14 days, regardless of if you had a face covering on.

Therefore, if you want to stay healthy and keep your freedom, stay six feet apart!

Contact cot@georgefox.edu with any questions.

If you could teach someone about COVID-19 and the quarantine 100 years from now, what would you share? What records and artifacts would you give them to learn from? In 100 years where would historians find these records?

The George Fox University Archives invites submissions from students and employees that share your COVID-19 story. Some questions to reflect on may include:

• How has this pandemic impacted your life?
• What has this experience been like for you?
• Do you have photos or videos that show what life has been like during this time?

Sharing your experiences now will help people in the future understand what life was like during the COVID-19 pandemic. Please visit our dedicated page to learn more about submitting your story.

Proper eating and drinking hygiene with a face covering permits removal or temporarily shifting the face covering while you eat or drink, but the face cover needs to be worn again as soon as feasible.

This is particularly important if you are drinking water or coffee in class. Please respect others around you by re-masking as soon as possible after eating or drinking.

Contact cot@georgefox.edu with any questions.

We apologize for the confusion, but the free N95 face masks are single-use only.

Questions or concerns? Please contact Jere Witherspoon at jwitherspoon@georgefox.edu.
