As you’re preparing to move out for the summer, bring your non-perishable food items and clean clothing to the Bruin Store!

We are a drop-off location for the Bruin Community Pantry and the Closet Project. The Closet Project is an initiative started by the Bruin Store to bring affordable semi-professional clothing to students and community members.

The initiative is 100% donation-based, every item is sold for $1, and every dollar is donated back to the Bruin Community Pantry. As you and your classmates have gotten involved, we have been able to stock not only semi-professional clothing, but athletic, casual, and outerwear as well.

If you have items that fit within these categories, please bring them by the Bruin Store during business hours. Any donated items which are outside of these categories will be given to a representative from Newberg High School, who donates them to students and families in need.

Questions? Contact Paige Jacobs (pjacobs@georgefox.edu).

Are you interested in being a Peer Advisor next semester? If you’ve been thinking about applying, now is the time to make it happen! Take a look at the job description, then complete an application. Priority consideration will be given to applications received by Monday, April 26.

Peer Advisors play an integral role in assisting new students’ transition to George Fox. They assist with Welcome Weekend and a new co-curricular “Bruin Adventure” program designed to engage the heart, mind, and soul of each new student as they learn in community with their neighbors.

The Peer Advisor hiring process is running late this year due to changes in the curriculum, including the end of LIBA 100.
