Join the College of Physical Therapy for a free Zoom webinar, “Three Key Principles to Reduce Running-Related Injuries,†at 11 a.m. this Friday, Nov. 20.
Presenting will be Dr. Alison Modafferi, owner and physical therapist at Run the World PT & Performance. This is designed for all runners, whether you are new to running, run recreationally, or are more advanced.
The one-hour virtual presentation will cover three evidence-based principles to help reduce running-related injuries. We will discuss load management, variability and tendon stiffness and how they relate to running and injuries. We’ll also discuss practices to reduce injury risk.
Our reason for hosting? There is a lot of misinformation out there regarding running-related injuries. Together, George Fox University and Run the World have developed a framework backed by research to keep runners healthy.

Returning textbook rentals:
We understand that many students will need their rented textbooks over a portion of the break to study for finals. You are responsible for returning your textbooks to the Bruin Store (please do not drop them off at the Library) on or prior to the rental due date, which is Friday, Dec. 18.
If you are finished with your book early, you may come to check it in at any time. If you take it home, please mail it back to us at the address below. In order for your mailed book to be considered “on-time,” it simply needs to be postmarked by the due date.
Address for mailing textbook returns:
Bruin Store
409 Carlton Way
Newberg, OR 97132
Instructions for having someone return textbooks on your behalf:
It is acceptable for a friend or family member to bring your book by the Bruin Store on your behalf. They will need to have your first and last name, the phone number that was used for the rental account, and your patron ID number that is included in your rental reminder emails. However, if the rented book is damaged, the person who is checking in the textbook will be responsible for paying the damage fees.
Questions? Contact Paige Jacobs (pjacobs@georgefox.edu).
Students who need to bring a car to campus temporarily or those who need to bring a different car to campus, other than the one that is registered, need to obtain a temporary parking permit from the Campus Public Safety office.
These permits are free of charge and are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They are available for a two-week period after which a permit must be purchased if you still wish to park on campus.
Please do not park on campus without a temporary permit, and please do not park in the neighborhoods. Due to crowded adjacent city streets, George Fox requests that all employees, students, and visitors only park in the designated facilities on campus.
This is a way for George Fox to be a responsible member of the Newberg community and promote a positive witness. Thank you for your help in this area!
