Do you have a desire to learn from your peers and have a civil discussion in a safe environment? Join the Civil Discourse Taskforce in the “Living Room Civil Discussions” series.

Join us at the following times and locations. Snacks are provided.
If you have questions, please reach out to Kara Holcombe at kholcombe@georgfox.edu.

Most will be set dressings, placed on stage and unmoved, but some will be handled and interacted with by actors.

Extra space is always available at the Morse lot, located by the baseball fields. This lot is on the outer edge of campus, and is ideal if you are not using your vehicle often. This will free up space for students who use their vehicles often for work, appointments, etc.
Please note that Campus Safety is available to shuttle students after dark, especially to and from the Morse lot.
Please register your vehicle if you have not done so already.
Contact CPS at 503-554-2090 or campussafety@georgefox.edu if you have any questions.
Construction of the new parking area will begin on Monday, Sept. 23. In order to ensure space for the equipment to move, the first section of parking in the Stevens parking lot will be closed.
There is parking available in the Morse parking lot if you would prefer to park on the other side of campus during construction.
For questions and concerns, contact ddowney@georgefox.edu.
