University Recreation is hosting its annual “Gearage Sale” at the Hadlock Student Center (Newberg campus) this Friday, Oct. 1, from 3 to 9 p.m. You won’t want to miss it!

New this year: Students, employees and community members can sell their outdoor recreation and sporting equipment at the sale by using a consignment option.

Also new this year, proceeds from consignment sales go toward a new student scholarship fund that helps students participate in outdoor trips and activities that would otherwise struggle to do so because of financial difficulties.

Donations of equipment and cash are encouraged. All proceeds from the sale of donated equipment will go toward the student scholarship fund. Have something sitting around in your garage or basement? Let us know! Drop it off and we would love to try and sell it to benefit our students!

Interested in selling or donating something? Read this Seller’s Agreement and fill out this form to let us know!

Join Mathetes’ ESL discussion on Oct. 7

Monday, September 27th, 2021

Our hope for this panel is that we can confront the myth that every person who is involved in higher education has the same educational experience.

This Mathetes event will unpack the experience of individuals who are English-learners (ESL), or who have experience in the language-learning environment. We hope to see you there!

Cookies and coffee will also be provided.

Important reminder from student life office about social media, civility, bias and harassment

Thursday, September 23rd, 2021

We want to remind all of us about the expectations of living in a Christ-centered community that honors kindness, grace, and civility as important values. We believe that all people are of great worth and value in the eyes of God and seek to increasingly become a campus characterized by loving support of one another.

Cultural humility means that we seek to understand and appreciate others, also created in the image of God, who are different from ourselves. Language and/or behavior that relies on stereotypes or is demeaning toward individuals or groups is absolutely unacceptable for George Fox students and employees, whether it occurs in person, through social media (Twitter, Facebook, etc.) or anonymously.

Violations of these expectations are taken very seriously by the university, especially when directed at another because of their race, sex, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, religion, or disabilities. We want to remind everyone that George Fox has harassment, discrimination, and bias-related incident policies that can be viewed here.

Any incidents of harassment, discrimination or bias should be reported immediately to the student life office. We would also encourage community members to hold one another accountable for what we say and do in this important area.

May God enable each of us to be more and more like Jesus in the way we treat one another!
