To the George Fox Community,

Approximately one month ago, there were several thefts of university-owned property on the east side of campus. Then last night, there was a burglary of student-owned property, again on the east side of campus. We encourage all employees and students to help keep GFU a safe environment by doing the following:

1.Be sure to secure all personal belongings at all times.

2.Keep your car doors locked with no personal belongings in plain sight.

3.Keep exterior residence doors locked at all times, including when you’re present.

4.If you unlock a door to gain entry to any building, make sure the door closes behind you and is locked to prevent others from unauthorized entry.

5.Report any suspicious person(s) to Security Services immediately at ext. 2090.

We are investigating these incidents and taking steps to attempt to prevent further losses. Thanks you for your assistance.

Blessings,
Ed Gierok
George Fox University
Director of Security Services

George Fox University is expecting 25 – 30 new international students this year! We are looking for 2 – 4 more families who would be willing to have up to two international students stay in their home the nights of Sunday, August 19 – Wednesday, August 22. Families are asked to provide breakfast and dinner and provide transportation to and from George Fox so students may attend orientation sessions during the day. Host families will receive a small stipend to help defray some of the costs.

If you are interested in this opportunity to bless George Fox University international students please contact Dianna McIntyre at dmcintyre@georgefox.edu or 503-554-2211.
