George Fox is once again partnering with Hillsboro Airporter to provide a shuttle service to Portland International Airport for Thanksgiving break.

Students will be expected to work directly with Hillsboro Airporter to reserve their spot. See the details below:

• The cost for one passenger is $65 plus a tip. Each additional passenger is $3.
• Each shuttle can fit five to six passengers. The cost per student is based on the total number of passengers during the scheduled times, so if you can fill one shuttle with six passengers, the cost per student could be as low as $15.
• Make your reservations more than 24 hours in advance and Hillsboro Airporter can group you together. To reserve your spot, click here.
• Hillsboro Airporter accepts cash or credit card for payment. Parents can call Hillsboro Airporter with a credit card to pay for their student’s fare.
• Hillsboro Airporter has 24/7 service. It will work with students and their families to put students together to lower the cost of the fare.

Please disregard the recent Daily Bruin announcement regarding the presence of skunks in Hess Creek Canyon. Apparently, it was a false alarm. You are free to roam the canyon without fear of getting sprayed.

In the event of an emergency, George Fox will send text and email messages to potentially affected students and employees via the university’s FoxAlert system.

Please make sure your mobile number is up to date by logging into MyGeorgeFox and clicking on the “Profile” tile. From there, click on the “Contact Details” menu and either add or edit the “Cell – Personal” phone type. There will be a system test in the next couple of weeks.

Questions can be directed to Rob Felton at rfelton@georgefox.edu.
