The Campus Public Safety Office has been receiving many calls from neighbors about all the student cars stashed in the neighborhoods surrounding the school. Please help us by being considerate of the neighbors when you park.

Parking in the neighborhoods is off limits. You must park only where your permit allows or your car will be ticketed.

If you are unsure of where your permit allows you to park, please stop by the Campus Public Safety office so that we can assist you. You can also look at the parking brochure. 

Questions? Call Campus Public Safety at 503-554-2090 or email Elrike Shaw at eshaw@georgefox.edu.

All are invited as the William Penn Honors Program hosts Ray Barfield to lecture on “Seeking God in the Ruins: A Pediatric Oncologist’s Story of Finding Beauty and Hope Amidst Suffering and Death.” The lecture will be held in Canyon Commons 101 at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 26.

Barfield will share how it’s not so much the absence of suffering, but rather our response to it, that fosters wholeness.

Barfield is a pediatric oncologist and palliative care physician. He lost his Christian faith after witnessing the suffering of children with cancer. Although he later returned to Christianity, his doubts transformed his perspective on human flourishing.
