The Daily Bruin

Students-

If you are a current freshman or sophomore and are work-study qualified, Security Services would like to talk with you. We are going to be hiring five student officers.

Please see Bruin Careers for all of the necessary qualifications, and if you meet all of the qualifications, please get your application, resume and cover letter to Box# 6095 before Friday, March 15.

Interviews will begin after the cut-off date, and training/certification/background checks will begin in April. Please don’t delay if you are interested in working for Security Services!

Exodus Fair (Spring 2013) starts tomorrow (Tuesday) from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. It runs March 6-7.

If you are graduating this May 2013, please plan to attend either day (March 6 or 7) in the Stevens Center Atrium. You can pick up your cap and gown, order graduation announcements, enjoy some free food, and much more!

You’re almost done, graduation is right around the corner and it’s time to CELEBRATE! We hope to see you there!

The Housing Department will be holding an information meeting regarding housing selection at 3:30 p.m. Thursday, March 7, in Stevens 209. All undergraduate students are invited to attend if they would like to learn more about on-campus housing for the 2013-14 academic year or if they have questions about the selection process.

For any additional information about selection, please refer to the Housing and Residence Life website. If you have any questions, please contact the student life office (ext. 2310 or housing@georgefox.edu).

Employees and students: While there are security personnel on duty 24/7, obviously we can’t be patrolling everywhere at once, so here is how we need your eyes and ears: If you see something or somebody that doesn’t seem to “fit” or “belong” here on campus, the first office you should immediately call is security.

It’s fairly difficult to look for a suspicious person, or to check out something odd long after the occurrence and when the trail is cold. If you haven’t done so yet, please program the security number in your cell phone (503-554-2090) and call us! We’d much rather find out that something is a false alarm, then find out days later that many people saw a suspicious person, or an odd circumstance, and nobody called us to investigate.

Please try and include as many descriptors of the person/car/situation as possible to help in our investigation. No detail is too small! Also please remember that security officers are available to walk you to your car or residence after dark if you are unable to walk with a buddy. Blue light emergency phones that call directly to security are located in the Bauman, Le Shana and VAC parking lots, as well as in the South Canyon by the Pavilion.

Thank you,
Security Services
