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:
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.

We do have a change in our face-covering policy: As of today (Monday), face shields may continue to be used so long as you maintain six feet of distance. If you are closer (or likely to be closer) than six feet, you must wear a face mask. This minor change will help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Questions? Write cot@georgefox.edu.
Here are a couple of friendly reminders regarding the Hadlock Student Center:
Updates
Thank you for helping us keep Hadlock a safe space on campus!
Are you interested in woodworking? 3D printing? Sewing? Electronics? Welding? T-shirt making? And more? Did you know that the Maker Hub is available to all George Fox students (not just engineers!)?
The Maker Hub is officially open to the whole campus community, and we are welcoming all students to get involved, learn new skills, and stretch their creative muscles. Prerequisites for using the space include passing a few FoxTALE quizzes and getting familiar with our Maker Hub Wiki.
We are looking for “student aces” in the Maker Hub this semester. An “ace†is simply a volunteer who learns/knows a piece of equipment really well and is able to help train other students on it. Ace positions come with the benefits of extended shop access and learning new skills.
Email Nick Sullivan at nsullivan@georgefox.edu if you have questions.
A paving company will be repairing the potholes on Carlton Way today (Monday). They will be concentrating on the stretch of road between Sheridan Street and the South entrance to the Bauman parking lot.
As a result, Carlton Way will be closed in sections throughout the day. Pass- through traffic will be directed, and there will be delays. If you park along Carlton Way, please allow for extra time, as you may not have immediate access to your car.
Have questions? Contact Dixie Downey at ddowney@georgefox.edu.
Join us online for a special Tuesday morning chapel tomorrow at 11 a.m.! We will hear from Todd Curtis, associate professor of physics and winner of the 2019-20 Faculty Achievement Award for Undergraduate Teaching.
