It can be hard to treat your loved ones to a fancy meal on a college budget, but we’ve got you covered. Tomorrow morning (Saturday), set out with a list of clues to find 14 small, golden hearts that will be hidden outdoors around campus.
The 14th heart is special, more difficult to find, and worth three hearts! You must take a photo with each heart where you found it as proof in order for it to be counted.
The goal is to find as many hearts as you can before 5 p.m. for the chance to win a Valentine’s Day meal on us. We will be posting clues to the hearts on Instagram at 10 a.m., and send them through email to people who sign up here for email clues.
The first-place prize is a meal reimbursement of up to $100, and the second-place prize up to $50.
If you visited the university homepage today, you probably noticed some changes!
Marketing Communications has updated the style and content of the homepage as well as some other top-level pages and pages in the About, Undergraduate Admissions, and Giving sections of the website.
This is part of an ongoing project to give similar treatment to all pages on the public university website.
Due to the large number of web pages on the university website (around 5,000) and the extent of these changes, web pages will be re-worked and published in sections rather than all at once. This means that for now there will be some inconsistencies between pages in the new design and pages that haven’t been updated yet.
As part of this update, links in the website footer (the section at the bottom of each web page) have been updated. Some resource links that were located in the footer have been moved onto resource pages for distinct George Fox groups. The links to these resource pages can be found under the heading “Information For” in the footer.
If you have any questions or feedback about any of this, please contact Rob Leslie at rleslie@georgefox.edu.
Yesterday morning we were notified that a group of thieves stole a catalytic converter from one of our George Fox vans parked in the Morse parking lot. We wanted to alert our community to be aware and to make sure that your vehicles were not also affected.
Catalytic converters are emission control devices that reduce toxic gases and pollutants in exhaust gas. Thieves like to steal them because they contain valuable metals. If your catalytic converter has been removed, your vehicle will make a loud roaring sound that will get louder as you push the gas pedal.
If you find that your catalytic converter has been stolen, please contact Campus Public Safety at 503-554-2090.
A group has been created to help female students heal from abusive relationships and be empowered from a faith-based, holistic curriculum created by ARMS (Abuse Recovery Ministry & Services), a local nonprofit.

If severe winter weather makes travel to or from campus unsafe, George Fox will shift affected classes to online instruction. Classes will not be canceled for snow or ice in spring 2021. Because of COVID-19, faculty already have a reduced amount of class time to provide instruction, and losing additional days is not a feasible option. All classes this semester were created with the option to shift to remote learning for at least short periods of time.
If road conditions are unsafe, employees will be expected to work remotely if they have work that can be accomplished from home. If remote work is not possible, employees should contact their supervisor.
Following is our process for announcing when classes will shift to an online format. The provost will make the decision to shift classes online for the Newberg campus, Portland Center and Salem site for daytime classes by 6:30 a.m., or 2:15 p.m. for evening classes. This applies to all days of the week, including Saturday. Decisions at the Redmond site will be made by the professor.
Major considerations are road conditions, ice, utility service disruption, and how long the severe weather or emergency is likely to last. To find out if a decision has been made when severe weather occurs:
Check for an email to your George Fox email from Office of the Provost or Office of the CFO
Visit the George Fox flashalert.net page. This is the first site updated.
Next Wednesday, Feb. 17, marks the beginning of the season of Lent, the season in the Christian church when we remember the 40 days Jesus spent in the wilderness, fasting and praying, prior to the beginning of his ministry.
Many Christians choose to observe Lent by participating in an intentional spiritual practice, such as fasting, Scripture reading, prayer, generosity, or service. It is a season set aside for repentance and acknowledgment of human weakness, toward greater trust in the Savior.Â
The season of Lent begins on Wednesday, Feb. 17, and ends on Easter Sunday, April 4. The university pastors invite you to observe this time with us in one of the following ways:
Ash Wednesday
The university pastors will be available at two stations on campus for COVID-safe distribution of ashes. We will be at a table on the quad and outside of the SpiL House from noon to 1:30 p.m.
Ash Wednesday Worship Service
Worship will be held from 4:30 to 5 p.m. in Bauman Auditorium. Due to limited seating, please reserve your spot on the iAttended app (undergrads only).
Lenten Scripture Reading Guide
This daily Scripture reading guide will be available on the SpiL webpage from Feb. 16 to April 4.
Life Groups
These seven-week Life Groups are available for undergraduates and begin the week after Ash Wednesday and conclude the week after Easter. We are offering digital groups and hybrid groups. Click here to learn more.
Holy Week opportunities
Questions or want to meet with a university pastor? Contact the Office of Spiritual Life (spirituallife@georgefox.edu or 503-554-2320). May the Lord bless you!
Students are encouraged to join a Life Group this semester! Sign up here.
Life Groups are led by staff, professors, local pastors and church leaders, and seniors and provide a space for students to gather for weekly prayer, Bible study, and fellowship.
Groups typically meet for an hour to 90 minutes. Most groups will begin the week of Feb. 22 and end the week of April 9. Your Life Group leader will contact you with additional details by the Friday prior to the start of your group.
This spring, all of our groups will be meeting either by Zoom or hybrid. Hybrid groups will meet primarily via Zoom, but may occasionally meet outdoors as the weather, state and university regulations, and participants’ comfort permit.
Throughout the pandemic, Life Groups run through the Office of Spiritual and Intercultural Life will also be eligible for SpiL credit.
With the weather getting colder and the possibilities of snowfall this week, the Young Life Club is offering something for all students to keep you warm and cozy.
