The Daily Bruin

The campus advocate is a confidential resource offered to students in partnership with the Sexual Misconduct CARE (Campus Awareness, Response and Education) team.

The campus advocate is a George Fox MSW intern located at the Moore House/Intercultural Resource Center on the Newberg campus. She is qualified to provide advocacy, accompaniment, and referral service to survivors of all forms of violence – including sexual assault, intimate partner violence, hate crimes, stalking, sexual harassment, and other forms of sexual misconduct – in order to facilitate and promote individual recovery and success.

Confidential campus advocates will not share any information or details of your experience without your permission unless you are at risk of harming yourself or others.

If you wish to seek services, walk-ins are welcome Mondays and Thursdays between 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., and Fridays between 10:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Appointments are also available upon request.

If you have any questions, you can reach the campus advocate at campusadvocate@georgefox.edu. If you have an emergency, please call 911 or Campus Public Safety at 503-554-2310.

How will I manage my anxiety in a new job? What if I don’t like the people I work with? Will I have friends after Fox?

If you’ve asked yourself any form of these questions, Adulting 101 was made just for you!

Your time here at George Fox is about more than just what happens in the classroom. Being a Bruin is about discovering independence by learning how to “adult” in the real world. Adulting 101 aims to help tackle some of these topics in an effort to help you prepare to be excellent in your life post college.

The first session of Adulting 101 is taking place at 5 p.m. tomorrow (Tuesday) in Canyon Commons. Food will be provided. Don’t miss this awesome opportunity!

Come to learn from alumni and engage your peers in conversations aimed to help you prepare for life after George Fox. This engaging workshop is designed to equip you with the tools you need to survive in the real world.
