Snow and icy conditions are in the forecast for this week. We caution you to walk carefully on icy sidewalks and to avoid walking beneath trees whose branches may fall due to snow or high winds. Many of you will be driving home in the next few days, and we want to caution you to slow down and give lots of room between you and the car ahead of you. Please be sure to check the weather forecast and road conditions before you leave.

In case of a weather-related campus closure, we want to make sure you have the information you need.

Weather Closure Policy

On rare occasions, classes may need to be canceled and offices closed due to adverse weather conditions or for other emergency reasons.

The provost decides if conditions warrant canceling classes or closing offices for the Newberg campus and the Portland and Salem centers. (Closure decisions in Boise and Redmond are made by local administrators.)

Major considerations are road conditions, ice, utility service disruption, and how long the severe weather or emergency is likely to last. Decisions on day classes are announced by 6:15 a.m., if possible. Most decisions on evening classes are posted by 2:15 p.m..

In no circumstances should employees or students put themselves in danger in an attempt to get to campus.

To find out if a closure decision has been made when bad weather occurs:

* Listen to local radio and television stations
* Call Newsline, the university’s recorded announcements, at 503-554-3868
* Call the George Fox switchboard at 503-538-8383
* Check television and newspaper Web sites:

The university’s International Justice Mission chapter is meeting again at 7:50 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 23, in the Le Shana lobby. The IJM deals in large part with the issue of sex-trafficking on both a global and local scale and what steps we can do to combat it. Two major focuses of the chapter are prayer and how we can get involved in the community.

Please come and see how you can get involved as well. Questions? Contact Stephen Kenyon at skenyon09@georgefox.edu.

Come sign up for the women’s retreat!  It is going to be 10 dollars.  A one-nighter on friday night!  The first 50 who sign up get a FREE book, Bittersweet!  There are only 75 spots.  Better sign up quickly.  Bring cash. 🙂

February 28th-March 4th from 1-2 p.m. in the Bruin’s Den.

We are hosting a special guest, Nathan Parcells from InternMatch.com, Monday, Feb. 28 in the Career Center first floor Stevens.  Nathan will present 2 separate times; 11:40 a.m. and 12:40 p.m. Being in the business of matching students with internships, he will speak on the value of early internships and then how to get them.  Since many internships lead directly to full time employment, this event could bring a real (return on investment) ROI for you.

Contact Career Services at x. 2330 or careers@georgefox.edu or register in BruinCareers if you plan to attend.

What are the most important elements of MLA style that you need to know to prepare effective papers? The Academic Resource Center is hosting a session, “MLA Basics,” that will answer this question. Join us at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 22, in Lemmons 8.

Gary Tandy, professor of English, will cover MLA elements as well as guide you to other resources that can assist you in mastering this academic style of writing.

The inaugural lecture of the Dalton Lecture Series, featuring Dr. Kent Thornburg, will begin tonight (Tuesday). Thornburg will present “New Science Wrestles An Old Problem: The Roots of Human Disease” at 7:30 p.m. in Wood-Mar Auditorium.

This lecture will be followed by a reception and student research poster session.

Come help lift up the campus and each other in prayer! The goal is to have 24-hour prayer occurring all weekend (5 a.m. Thursday through 11:59 p.m. Sunday), but we need lots of people to make this happen.

To participate, sign up for a 30-minute time slot (longer if you wish) outside the ASC offices in the Bruin Den and then pray for that length of time in the prayer chapel. The setting is laid back, so feel free to come as a group or by yourself, pray audibly or silently, or simply be still in God’s presence. There will be journals available, music access, coffee for the late nights, and a list of prayer topics for those who don’t know what to pray for. Please come!

Questions/comments/concerns? Feel free to e-mail Elizabeth Teach at eteach06@georgefox.edu or visit the Facebook group/event.

God bless!

The University Players drama troupe will perform vignettes this Friday and Saturday, Feb. 25-26, at 7:30 p.m. in Wood-Mar Auditorium. Admission is free but donations are encouraged.

The vignettes last from six to eight minutes each and combine music, drama and comedy to present the challenges and joys of the Christian faith. This year’s theme is “Threshing Floor” and challenges people to examine their ways through meditating on Jesus’ parables.

Among the questions tackled in shows this year are “What seeds have been sown in our lives, and by whom?”, “What have we allowed to grow or not grow?” and “What of our harvest will survive the threshing floor?”

It’s playoff time! Come out to support our women as they once again take on the University of Puget Sound Loggers in the first round of the Northwest Conference Basketball Tournament. Game time is set for 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 24, in the Wheeler Sports Center.

Prices set by the NWC are:

• $6 for adults
• $3 for non-GFU/UPS students
• $3 for those 65 and older
• George Fox and UPS students will be admitted free. No passes will be accepted.

We need to rock the gym! And as always, be loud, be proud, be a Bruin!
