This fall, George Fox University participated in a Hope Center survey that focused on the struggles, triumphs and realities of what it means to be in college today. 

As part of our participation, the Bruin Community Pantry was to provide $1,000 worth of incentives to those who participated in the survey. We chose to provide $10 to $100 gift cards to students who were randomly selected by the survey administrators.

Thank you to everyone who participated in this survey! The following students were randomly selected by Hope Center:

• Gracie Carlson
• Tina Peterson
• Linda McDonald
• Gus Ramsden
• Bronson Ramos
• Heather Sam
• Kylin Collman
• Julia Burns
• Jacob Hankland
• Hannah Homolka

We continue to need funding for the Bruin Community Pantry. Please consider donating today. For more information, contact Jere Witherspoon at jwitherspoon@georgefox.edu.

While there is no requirement for any signage or painted curbs to indicate “No Parking,” Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 811.550(16) prohibits parking within 10 feet of a fire hydrant.

Besides the financial penalties that you could incur from the city of Newberg, you could be delaying firefighters from getting water into a burning building when you block a fire hydrant.

Please help us to be good neighbors by being courteous of others and keeping our community safe.

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

Please note: There have been some recent sightings of a skunk family in Hess Creek Canyon. The skunks are easily agitated and will spray on sight. One student was recently sprayed. Please use caution when walking through the canyon.

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.

Plant Services is happy to announce the return of campus-wide indoor recycling! Over the next two months, all of the Newberg campus dumpsters will be transitioned over to Waste Management Northwest, which includes the return of recycling bins in the garbage enclosures. In addition, our team will be distributing the indoor blue recycling containers for office and dorm room use.

Please keep in mind:

• Trash cannot be mixed with recycling. Any recycling bin containing trash will go to the landfill and will not be recycled. In addition, the university will be charged a contamination fee every time a recycling load must be treated as garbage.
• All recycled items must be clean and dry.
• Clean plastic bottles, jugs, and tubs are recyclable, as are clean empty tin, aluminum, and steel cans.
• Clean paper, magazines and newspaper can be recycled, as well as clean flattened cardboard.
• Any item that has been contaminated with a substance (e.g. the consumable has soaked into the material, such as grease in a pizza box or coffee in a takeout cup) should be thrown away as garbage.

For the most up-to-date campus recycling information, see this webpage. Questions? Contact Dixie Downey at ddowney@georgefox.edu.

In honor of your service to our country, we are offering all veterans a free small-drip coffee or tea between 7:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. today (Monday) in the Bruin Den and Bridge Cafe. Happy Veterans Day!
