We would like to inform you of a great and fun volunteer opportunity coming on Monday, Jan. 20. Once again, we will be taking part in the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service. There are no classes this day, so instead of taking the day off, come serve with us in Portland and get a free T-shirt.
MLK Day consists of meeting early Monday morning at Stevens and then heading to Portland. The day begins with a rally at David Douglas High School. From there, volunteers are assigned a community project, alongside other Portland-area college students.
This is a great event to meet other college students and also to volunteer. Transportation and food is provided by our department at no cost to you. All you need to do is register here by midnight on Wednesday, Jan. 15.
If you would like more information, you can find it at this link or you can e-mail Inclusion and Student Leadership Programs at islp@georgefox.edu.
Make sure you invite your friends.

Oregon students have two opportunities for additional financial aid for the 2014-15 academic year. If you plan to attend at least half time next Fall in an undergraduate program, please continue reading!
It’s time to start working on your OSAC scholarship application. Go to: www.OregonStudentAid.gov and apply online for any of the more of than 450 scholarship programs that OSAC administers. This scholarship opportunity closes on March 1st.
OSAC also administers the Oregon Opportunity Grant (OOG) for undergraduates. Please be aware that these funds are given based on the income of the student and parents as well as THE DATE OF YOUR FIRST FAFSA FILING. Please be sure to file your 2014-15 FAFSA no later than January 31st. In the past few years, OSAC has had to cut off funds to students that file in February or later even though they may have otherwise qualified. Please file your FAFSA now if you have not already. It is fine to estimate income number on the first FAFSA. Once you have completed your 2013 taxes, you can update the FAFSA using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool. Don’t miss out on funding by filing too late.
ALL vehicles brought to campus need to have some sort of permit on them.
If you are temporarily borrowing a vehicle to return to campus, please come to the security office for a gratis temporary permit.
These permits are available 24/7. If it is after office hours, just call 503-554-2090 to speak to the officer on duty to arrange a time to come and get one.
If you changed cars over break, please come to the security office so we can get your new car registered and the former car taken off the database.
If you didn’t have a car fall semester, but are bringing one back for spring, please go on MyGFU and DELETE your “NOCAR” registration by using the minus button to the right of the listing. After the boxes clear, then you can input your vehicle information, and a parking permit will be issued to you and sent over to Mail Services. If you do this by noon today (Friday, Jan. 10), your permit will be awaiting you at Mail Services when you return to school.
Questions? Please contact Nadine Kincaid at nkincaid@georgefox.edu or call 503-554-2090.
