Please remember that face coverings are required in all buildings on campus. The COVID Operations Team receives daily reports of face-covering non-compliance in the Bruin Den in Klages.
We have recently posted signs reminding our community of this requirement. Please remember to pay attention to seating requirements in the booths. Unfortunately, if we continue to have reports of non-compliance in the Bruin Den, we may be required to close this space.
Thank you for helping to keep our campus safe and open for use.
Policies regarding COVID compliance can be found on this website. If you have any questions, please contact Jere Witherspoon (jwitherspoon@georgefox.edu) in the student life office.
