Several buildings on the Newberg campus will have city water service shut off today (Monday) from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (possibly restored earlier, depending on how quickly the work concludes).

This is in order to connect the new water mainline at the chapel construction site.

Below is a list of buildings that will have the water shut off. Note that the water might be a little rusty looking when the water pressure is restored. The water is clean but you may need to run the faucet for a little while for it to clear up.

Academic/Staff Areas:

• Klages Center and Bookstore
• Ross/Bauman
• Murdock Library
• Wheeler Sports Center
• Hiebert House (Campus Public Safety) – possible shut-off area

Are you interested in being a resource and guide to future Mosaic or first-generation incoming freshmen for the 2023-24 school year?

If so, please submit an application to be a mentor for either the Mosaic (Mosaic Scholarship recipients) or the LEAD (first-generation students) mentorship programs, which is a part of the Intercultural Resource Center (IRC).

If you do not consider yourself a Mosaic Scholar or a first-generation student, but are a student of color, that is great! You can still apply through the Mosaic Mentorship Program.

Please apply here by Sunday, April 2.

If you have any questions, please email the mentorship intern, Roserina Chipen, at rchipen20@georgefox.edu, or the first generation student success coordinator, Jesse Cetz, at jcetz@georgefox.edu.

We are a group of exercise science students doing an anonymous study about muscular performance and the period cycle, because we want to know if muscular performance changes over the course of the menstrual cycle. If you get your period between now and the 10th of April we would love for you to be a part of our study.

You will be asked to do three tests – a bench press, leg press, and push-ups (you can choose to do it from your knees or toes). There will be at least two sessions (no more than three). A session will take about 45 minutes, and we will coordinate with you to find the right time to do the tests.

You do not need to be an athlete or a super fit person because we are looking at the changes over the course of your period. It’s OK if you are not familiar with the gym or exercises because we will be there with you to walk you through them and answer your questions.

We accept anyone who menstruates (if you are taking hormonal contraceptives, you can still participate) and if you think you are going to be on your period during spring break and are within 45 minutes of Newberg.

If you are willing to participate, please contact Val Gabriychuk at gabriychukv19@georgefox.edu or Sarah Julian at sjulian19@georgefox.edu.

The Grizzly vertical spindle sander is normally used for sanding the inside corners of wood or sanding curved surfaces square to the table. The machine contains a 1HP motor and has 10 different sanding spindles ranging from a quarter inch to to 4 inches in diameter.

The oscillating action gives users a smooth-sanded surface at 1725 RPM. Check out this video to see how it works. For more information, visit the Maker Hub’s wiki page.

The Maker Hub exists as a resource and creative outlet for the entire George Fox community (yes, including non-engineers!). We are looking for student aces. A student ace is simply an expert on a piece of equipment who helps train other students on the usage of that equipment and gains extra privileges within the Maker Hub.

Please email makerhub@georgefox.edu if you would like to get connected or have any questions.
