To help guide you, here is a description of the “Be Known” promise …

“Be known means to be understood, valued, encouraged and uplifted. At George Fox, to be known means that professors and staff connect with students in authentic ways – personally, academically, spiritually – recognizing that we all come to this place with different backgrounds, life experiences and dreams for the future. To be known means that students not only learn new ideas, they share their own. To be known means to be heard.”

When people think of a typical college student, they think “sleep-deprived,” “overworked” and “stretched thin.” The old stereotype of college students surviving on minute-ramen noodles and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches can, however, be a real problem in college.

College hunger is a nationwide problem that affects about 20 percent of college students. Some students are struggling to have enough money for food even with jobs on campus. Research also shows that college student hunger can impact students from all socioeconomic backgrounds.

The student life department, in conjunction with Bon Appetit and other departments on campus, would like to understand the food needs of students at George Fox.

Please help us in determining the level of need by completing this short, confidential and anonymous survey. Note that there are also a couple local resources that are listed at the end of this survey.

Food Survey

If you would like to speak to someone about this survey, please contact Jere Witherspoon in the Office of Student Life (jwitherspoon@georgefox.edu or 503-554-2316).

The School of Physical Therapy is hosting its second annual Health and Wellness Week March 12-17. This event is designed to impact Newberg and surrounding communities through nutrition, exercise and behavioral health classes, a 5K run/walk, and a pool party for kids.

Classes are free and open to the public. The 5K run/walk has an entry fee of $10 for students and $25 for the general public. To learn more or to register for the events, visit georgefox.edu/health.
