The Daily Bruin

Healthcare workers are burned out and leaving their noble work – and the suicide rate in this demographic is alarming and a longstanding problem. We need to take care of our healthcare workers so they can take care of us! Let’s start healing together.

We in the Interprofessional Primary Care Institute invite you to join us for a continuing medical education course (CME), “Healthcare Worker Wellness Summit: From Demoralization to Remoralization in OUR Work,” via Zoom from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Friday, June 10.

You will receive CME and strength through sharing stories and learning skills to bring back joy in our healthcare work.

For more information and the registration link, go here.

The Department of Art & Design invites you to attend a research presentation by faculty candidate Justin Barker. He will share some of his research in the field of graphic design tomorrow (Thursday) at 1:30 p.m. and give a teaching demo on graphic design skills on Friday, May 13, from 1:30 to 2:15 p.m. Both presentations will be held in Hoover 103.

Campus Public Safety will be conducting its annual Bicycle Roundup this Monday, May 9. If you are staying on campus over the summer and plan to keep a bike here, please stop by the Campus Public Safety office to get a sticker ID so that your bike will not be removed.

Bicycle Rules for Summer
At the end of the spring semester, a university-wide bicycle “clean-up” is done. Bicycles that are illegally parked, unregistered or inoperable are impounded. Bicycle racks need to be cleared to do routine maintenance to the racks and surrounding areas.

In order to accommodate the maintenance of the bicycle rack areas, bicycles may not be stored on campus during the summer semester. If you are not going to be on campus using your bicycles during the summer, please remove it. Bicycle claims can be made at the Campus Public Safety/parking services office.

Students using their bikes during the summer must move their bikes to the nearest rack of their summer housing.

Bicycles NOT picked up from the impound lot within 60 days will be forwarded to local charities at the discretion of the Campus Public Safety department. Junk bicycles will be recycled.

If you have questions, contact Karen Toohey at ktoohey@georgefox.edu.

The Hadlock Student Center will be open this summer from May 2 through Aug. 19. Hours will be 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday. Hadlock will be closed Saturdays and Sundays, as well as for Memorial Day and Independence Day.
