A man’s white gold wedding band was lost last week. It was my dad’s wedding ring given to me when he died. I took it off for work and lost it out of my purse somewhere on campus or around Newberg. If you find it, please contact me at ksearch05@georgefox.edu. The ring has priceless sentimental value, and I will reward the finder.
Thank you,

Attention Students: While Security has been patrolling the campus lately, we have noticed many open doors and windows on houses and residences with NOBODY HOME. Laptops and other electronics were there for the taking.
When you leave your residence – even just to run an errand – lock the windows and doors to avoid tempting potential thieves.
Please also lock your cars and bikes, and do not leave your car windows down or cracked open.
