George Fox faculty and students are invited to take part in a virtual interprofessional continuing medical education event addressing suicide prevention on Saturday, Aug. 15. It will take place over Zoom from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

The event, hosted by the Interprofessional Primary Care Institute, is free to students and staff. It will feature experts from a variety of healthcare professions to discuss how interprofessional teams in school-based health centers and primary care clinics can work closely together to prevent adolescent suicide in our communities.

After rates of adolescent suicide in the U.S. stabilized from 2000 to 2007, suicide rates for ages 10 to 24 increased from 2007 (6.8 per 100,000 persons) to 2017 (10.6). While suicides increased across this age group, suicide rates most sharply increased for ages 10 to 14, nearly tripling from 2007 (0.9) to 2017 (2.5).

These increasing rates of adolescent suicide highlight the importance of prevention and intervention in schools, primary care and other community-based settings.

Interested in learning more about working as a behavioral health clinician? Join us for a special continuing education event focused on developing new skills for behavioral health learners using the Primary Care Behavioral Health (PCBH) model.

The course “Professional Solutions: Behavioral Health Clinician Essentials” will be held virtually the week of Aug. 10-14, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. There is no cost to participate for George Fox faculty or students. The event is hosted by the Interprofessional Primary Care Institute.

Research shows that clinics that implement the BCBH model are better equipped to deliver biopsychosocial-cultural care to the people they serve. The PCBH model is an evolution of psychotherapy that matches the fast pace of primary care by adding a behavioral health clinician (BHC) team member who works in a focused and accessible way.

BHCs in primary care are licensed psychologists, clinical social workers, professional counselors, and marriage and family therapists. This event will feature an interprofessional team that includes experts in the PCBH model, primary care clinicians, nurses and others who are invested in the success of BHCs in primary care.

To learn more, contact Tammy O’Doherty (todohert@georgefox.edu).

A group of George Fox alumni and current student makers invite the campus community to check out Living Room Market, Newberg’s alleyway soirèe at 111 S. College St.

Join us every first Friday between 4 and 9 p.m. through late summer and early fall (Aug. 7, Sept. 4 and Oct. 2). Our marketplace offers an experience that gathers locals with small businesses and individuals from beyond our town to celebrate creative community, nature-based products and handcrafted goods.

Each event includes an artisan maker’s market, food carts, live music and more! Interested in being one of our rad makers? Visit this link for more details.

Bon Appetit is excited to welcome you to back to campus this fall! As you’d expect, we’re implementing some serious sanitation and service measures to ensure you can dine with us as safely and comfortably as possible.

While COVID-19 safety is a key priority, it isn’t our only one. We still believe that food has an important role to play in individual wellness and in building culture and community at George Fox. Our chefs will still be cooking from scratch, using fresh local and seasonal ingredients that meet our sustainability standards.

More information about dining can be found on this webpage. As more information unfolds, updates will be communicated with students and posted on this site.

For more information, please General Manager Jason Rosvall at jason.rosvall@cafebonappetit.com or 503-554-3201.

We would like to request that there be no moving of furniture in classrooms between now and when classes start in the fall.

Due to Oregon Health Authority guidelines, we are having to rearrange and remove furniture in all of our instructional spaces and need for the rearranged furniture to remain in specific locations to ensure proper distancing. 

Thank you.

George Fox graduate and commuter students who do not plan to bring a vehicle to campus can request an exemption from being automatically charged the parking permit fee by completing the parking waiver form. Please read the waiver form thoroughly as you fill it out.

By signing this form you agree that you will not bring a vehicle and park on George Fox’s Newberg campus or the surrounding Good Neighbor areas (as specified in the parking policies) between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. 

If your vehicle is found parked on campus during these times, the following will occur:

• You will be automatically issued and charged for a parking permit and be fined an additional $75 for parking an unregistered vehicle.
• You will be required to pick up the permit from Campus Public Safety and an officer will assist you in the proper placement of the permit.

Note: There may be additional fines for any other violations according to the parking policies of the university.

If you are taking four or fewer credit hours in a semester, you may be eligible for this waiver. However, you must obtain a special temporary permit from Campus Public Safety and display it appropriately to avoid the above-listed sanctions.

Questions? Call our office at 503-554-2090 during business hours, or email Elrike Shaw at eshaw@georgefox.edu.
