The Newberg and Portland campuses will be closed this Friday, Feb. 11, for the mid-semester holiday. All offices and libraries will be closed. Although the Murdock Library will be closed, the 24-hour space will remain open.

University Recreation is hosting a spring “Gearage Sale” at the Hadlock Student Center from 3 to 7 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 18, that you won’t want to miss! Items for sale will include stand-up paddleboards, longboards, sleeping bags, backpacks, daypacks, trekking poles and many accessory items.

Have something to sell? Students, employees, family members and community members can sell their outdoor recreation, sporting goods and fitness equipment at the sale by using a consignment option. Twenty percent of the proceeds from consignment sales will go toward a new student financial assistance fund that helps students participate in outdoor trips and activities who would otherwise struggle to do so because of financial difficulties.

Donations of equipment and cash are encouraged. All proceeds from the sale of donated equipment will go toward the student financial assistance fund. Have something sitting around in your garage or basement? Let us know! Drop it off and we’ll try selling it to benefit our students!

Interested in selling or donating something? Read the Seller’s Agreement and fill out this form.

Please spread the word about this event to your friends, colleagues and neighbors. Contact Sam Nofziger at snofziger20@georgefox.edu with any questions.

Recently, the offices of The Contingent, the organization George Fox partners with for Foster Parents Night Out, Every Child Oregon, Act Six, and MyNeighbOR, was broken into and ransacked, resulting in a significant loss of possessions and damaged property.

Among the stolen items were thousands of dollars of gift cards and items that were intended for crisis response for the children and families they serve.

The Office for Spiritual Life would like to invite our campus to serve and encourage this longtime partner by collecting gift cards ($10-$50 to Amazon, Target, Fred Meyer, etc.) so they might continue their important work even while they recover from this major setback.

If you are able, please bring gift cards to the SpiL (Barclay) House or send them through campus mail anytime between now and tomorrow (Thursday).

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us at spirituallife@georgefox.edu.

Thank you!
