The Bruin Bookstore and textbook annex will be closed all day on Wednesday, Nov. 3, for a transitional inventory. The Box Office will continue to do ticket sales right outside the bookstore between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Multicultural Student programs will be providing an airport shuttle to Portland International Airport for Thanksgiving break. This is a first-come, first-served sign-up process and you can sign up in the Office of Student Life (third floor of Steven’s Center) until Wednesday, Nov. 17. It will cost $20 each way ($40 total if you choose drop-off and pick-up), which is significantly cheaper than getting service from other Portland Metro shuttles and taxis. Be advised that payment is due at the time of sign-up.
There will be three shuttles on Wednesday, Nov. 24, that will leave from the Stevens Center parking lot and drop you off outside the airport at your flight carrier’s station. There will be three shuttles on Sunday, Nov. 28, that will pick up students at the airport.
If you have any questions or need more information, please e-mail Courtney Greenidge at cgreenidge06@georgefox.edu or call/stop by the Student Life office.
Thanks!
I have recently lost a very special cotton-woven winter hat that I received from my uncle when he climbed Mt. Everest in Nepal. It is mainly gray with a white/blackish wave pattern in the middle and soft blue material on the inside. It has woven tails on the sides covering the ears and one on top as well. If any of you have seen or happen to have it, please return it to its rightful owner, as it is very dear and special to me.
Thank you,
Luke Giesecke (lgiesecke10@georgefox.edu)

Recently, the U.S. Department of Education implemented new race and ethnicity categories that require responses to two questions rather than one. This allows for better reporting given the changing makeup of our nation’s population. You might recognize these questions from the 2010 U. S. Census form.
We would appreciate it if students responded to the new questions to enable us to better comply with the new reporting requirements (on IPEDS and other reports).
To do so:
1. Login to MyGFU.
2. Navigate to Self Service > Campus Personal Information > Ethnicity.
3. If you indicated racial/ethnic information to George Fox in the past, it will be shown. Respond to the questions, and check the “The information is correct as entered†box.
4. Click Submit.
Again, reporting your race and ethnicity is voluntary, but it is very helpful to us as we assess our programs and serve our diverse world.
