Are you interested in studying abroad? The Center for Study Abroad is hosting a study abroad fair on Wednesday, Oct. 13, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Canyon Commons dining hall.

Many of our off-campus programs will have representatives present, so come by to get information about different programs, countries, and their requirements. We will also be passing out information about the Center for Study Abroad application requirements and due dates.

We’ll discuss how to sign up, participate in training to earn approval badges, and so much more! Questions? Contact Learning Support Services (lss@georgefox.edu).

The lollipop parking area in the Pennington parking lot will be closed and unavailable for parking on Thursday morning through Friday evening this week. Please be sure to move your vehicles out of that location by Thursday morning in preparation for the ’80s dance this Friday evening.

Thank you for your help!

George Fox University has received a grant from Interfaith Youth Corp, in cooperation with the CCCU (Council for Christian Colleges & Universities) for a vaccine initiative.

Our efforts have focused on providing information and encouragement to people who are undecided about the effectiveness and safety of the COVID-19 vaccine.

A free COVID-19 vaccination clinic is scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 15, from noon to 5 p.m. in the Klages Center (Bruin Den). You can register here.

All students who plan to bring a vehicle to campus must register their vehicles for parking permits!

Since the university’s parking registration fee has been incorporated into the student fee, students will no longer need to pay an additional out-of-pocket fee to register their vehicle. Students bringing a vehicle to campus must register their vehicle here and obtain a parking permit. When you register, make sure you have your DMV registration slip in front of you.

Remember that residents, commuters, and graduate students must register for their corresponding permits, and vehicles must be parked in the lots assigned to their permit. There have been significant changes in parking areas this year, so be sure to look over our new parking map to ensure you are parking in the right place.

If you have any trouble registering your vehicle, please call the Campus Public Safety office at 503-554-2090 so that we may assist you.

Questions? Call the Campus Public Safety office at the above number, or email Elrike Shaw at eshaw@georgefox.edu.

Stop by the Pre-Veterinary Club table for some animal trivia on Tuesday, Sept. 7, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the EHS atrium. You could win a prize!

The Swing Dance Club is meeting tonight (Saturday) in the FoxHole from 6:30 to 9 p.m. All are welcome to participate!

The basic lesson starts at 6:30 p.m., which is perfect for those of you just starting out. An intermediate lesson begins at 7 p.m., where Mark and Abigail will be teaching the moves known as “spin outs” with some variations. If you wish to skip to the dancing, the free dance period is from 7:30 to 9 p.m.

The full schedule for events can be found at this link.

If you have any questions or would like clarification, email Mark Berglin at mberglin19@georgefox.edu.

Hoping to attend a local church on Sundays? Every Sunday in September, local churches are providing transportation for students to and from their services. For a list of churches and their pick-up times and locations, see this website.

See the local church list to find links to livestream services as well.

If you have any questions, please contact us at spirituallife@georgefox.edu.

Students, if you need a place to park your vehicles, please remember not to park in the parking lots of our local businesses, as doing so would take up their limited space. If you do use their parking lots, you risk getting your vehicle towed at your expense.

Please help us to be good neighbors to the businesses around campus.

Questions? Call the Campus Public Safety office at 503-554-2090 or email Elrike Shaw at eshaw@georgefox.edu.
