University Recreation is offering two ways to enjoy this wonderful fall weather this weekend!
Join us on Saturday, Nov. 19, for a fun hike to over six different waterfalls in the Columbia River Gorge. Or wake up early with us on Sunday, Nov. 20, for a sunrise hike up to Angel’s Rest that includes a devotional and spiritual life credit. We provide all of the transportation, headlamps, food, and leadership for each trip.
If you have questions, please contact Jasmin Fuentes at jfuentes19@georgefox.edu
More longboards and skateboards are now available for sale at the Hadlock Student Center!
One-hundred percent of the proceeds from the sale of these boards will go toward a student fund that provides financial assistance for students who need help to attend outdoor recreation trips and activities.
If you have questions about the “Gearage Sale,” student fund, or OREC trips and activities, please contact Jasmin Fuentes at jfuentes19@georgefox.edu.
Please join the social work department as we hear from several speakers from a variety of professional disciplines from the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation. They will join us on campus from 6 to 7:30 p.m. tomorrow (Thursday) for a special event, “Diversity Dialogue: An Interdisciplinary Understanding of Addiction,” in Canyon Commons.
Hazelden is an inpatient drug rehab center in Newberg that specializes in an individualized approach to treatment, which includes detox, inpatient and outpatient rehab options, animal-assisted programming, post-treatment groups and recovery support, and family education.
We will be hearing from the medical director, the program manager, the nurse manager, the outreach manager, a licensed clinical social worker (and clinical director), and wellness specialist. It will take an multi-disciplinary look at understanding addiction and will be available on livestream here.

Thanksgiving weekend is a great time to see family, friends, and rest before the semester’s end. While you’re taking a break from class, it’s a great time to file your FAFSA and check that off your list.
The 2023-24 FAFSA* is open at fafsa.gov! The FAFSA needs to be completed each year to receive certain financial aid such as Pell and state grants, student employment, and loans. Be sure to file your FAFSA as soon as possible. Some federal and state funds are limited for undergraduate students, so don’t miss out on this opportunity!
Questions? Check out our FAFSA FAQ or contact the financial aid office at finaid@georgefox.edu or 503-554-2302. You can also schedule an appointment at gfufa.as.me.
*The 2023-24 FAFSA covers fall 2023, spring 2024 and summer 2024.
