Campus Public Safety will be conducting its annual bicycle roundup starting Wednesday, May 1.
At the end of spring semester, a university-wide bicycle cleanup is conducted. Bikes that are illegally parked, unregistered, or inoperable will be impounded. Bicycle racks need to be cleared to do routine maintenance to the bike racks and surrounding areas.
Bicycles may not be stored on the campus during the summer semester. Claims for impounded bikes may be made at the CPS office.
If you are staying on campus over the summer and plan to keep a bike here, please stop by Campus Public Safety to get a sticker ID. Move your bike to the rack that is closest to your summer housing.
Impounded bicycles will be kept at our office for 60 days and then donated to local charities at the discretion of the CPS office. Junk bikes will be recycled.

The Doctor of Physical Therapy program is in need of people for a research study, titled “Influences of Lower Limb Strength and Rate of Torque Development on Recovery from a Backwards Balance Loss.” We’re interested in the effects of lower body strength on the ability to recover from a loss of balance and how people step when they lose their balance.
To participate, you must:
In order to participate, you must NOT have the following:
If you’re interested in participating and meet the above criteria, you would come to the university’s Medical Sciences Building on Werth Boulevard, where we would ask you to sign an informed consent form and answer questions on a questionnaire. Depending on your responses to the questionnaire, you may or may not be eligible for the study.
If you meet the study criteria, you will be asked to continue the single testing session where you will be made to lose your balance multiple times in a safety harness while performing a squat task and have your ankle, knee and hip strength-tested while sitting. Your participation in this study will involve approximately 60 minutes of time.
You will not be paid for being in this study or reimbursed for any costs associated with traveling to/from the George Fox campus. You are able to stop participation in the study at any time and for any reason. No information that would identify you will be made public, and we do not feel there is more than minimal risk associated with this study.
If you have questions, feel free to reach out to Lyndsay Stutzenberger at lstutzenberger@georgefox.edu.
