Hey everyone! Please share with me some of your goals you plan to commit to in 2023! One of my goals for the new year is to become more involved with community. I would love to hear what you have to say.

I also want to become more tech knowledgable, so with your goals I plan to create a vision board for 2023 for my community. Thank you for taking 60 seconds out of your day to respond.

This is a reminder that the Office for Spiritual Life is collecting donations of gift cards and warm clothing for Newberg Public School families and unsheltered neighbors, respectively.

Every December, we look to enlist the generosity of our campus to serve our neighbors through offering donated gift cards and warm clothing, both for the families of Newberg school children as well as folks living unsheltered during the holiday break.

A good percentage of students in the Newberg School District participate in a free lunch program, and many experience other insecurities around food, shelter and other important necessities. In response, we collect gift cards (to local grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations) to aid these children and their families. Please direct gift cards and/or donations to the Office for Spiritual Life by tomorrow (Friday).

There are also donation bins around campus for collecting warming items (jackets, gloves, hats, pants, socks, blankets, and umbrellas) for Saturday Samaritans, a Portland organization that regularly offers compassion, kindness, human connection, nutritious food, clothing, blankets and other items for our neighbors living outside without shelter.

Contact spirituallife@georgefox.edu with any questions.

If you get a new phone, here is what you need to know so you don’t lose access to your George Fox email, Canvas, Zoom or other apps that use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). If you only use Okta Verify or Google Authenticator, the app will transfer to your new phone but not the account information.

Before purchasing a new phone, make sure that you have one of the following methods also set up:

• SMS Authentication (text message)
• Voice Call Authentication

Multi-Factor Authentication: Set up a Second Authentication Method

You will not be able to use Okta Verify or Google Authenticator until you go through the setup process again. Here are the directions to set up Okta Verify and/or Google Authenticator when you have a second method setup: Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): I Got a New Phone.

If you got a new phone and activated it without SMS or Voice Call set up, then you must contact the Service Desk.

Questions regarding MFA? Contact the Service Desk at servicedesk@georgefox.edu or 503-554-2569.
