Just a friendly reminder that Game Night Club will be meeting tonight (Saturday) at 7 p.m. in Hoover 102. We hope you can join us for some Jackbox, Super Smash Bros, and other games!

We’d also like to announce that Gabe Messing will be the club president for the 2021-22 school year! However, Gabe can’t do it alone, and we still need a vice president and treasurer to help run the club. These positions do not take a lot of time out of your week, so please consider volunteering for next year! 

Questions or interested in volunteering? Contact Sadie Lapiers (slapiers17@georgefox.edu).

Sign up here to join today’s Easter Egg Hunt around campus to find as many Easter eggs as you can. We’ll get started at 10 a.m.!

Prizes will be hidden inside all of them, whether it’s candy, stickers, or raffle tickets. You can also get a raffle ticket if you manage to snap a selfie with the Easter Bunny!

At noon we will hold an Easter Egg basket competition and judge in the following three categories: most creative basket, most festive basket, and most outlandish/funny basket.

Afterwards we’ll hold a raffle where you can win cool prizes and gift cards! Contact Student Activities (activities@georgefox.edu) with any questions.

Freshmen and seniors recently received an email invitation to participate in the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE).

This important survey helps George Fox to better understand your college experience in areas such as:

• Academic challenge
• Learning with peers
• Experiences with faculty
• Campus environment
• Spiritual climate

George Fox administrators rely on the results in identifying where to make changes. This is a great opportunity to share what’s great about attending George Fox, and what’s not so great.

Please note: Campus Public Safety normally doesn’t allow vehicles to remain on campus during the summer if the owner isn’t currently taking classes.

Exceptions to this policy are as follows:

• Student is on Juniors Abroad or winter/summer serve trip
• Student lives too far away to easily drive home
• International students who purchase vehicles here and return home for breaks
• Students on official George Fox activities (sports activities/academic trips, etc.)

If a student falls within those categories, they may fill out the Vehicles Left on Campus Policy Form, agreeing to the requirements. This form must be completed before you leave campus, and you must leave a key with Campus Public Safety before leaving your vehicle on campus. 

Any vehicle left on campus without the key being left with security is subject to tow at your expense due to Plant Services/construction activity all around campus during the summer.

For all other students, it is recommended to leave your car off-campus with a friend who can drive it and watch it, as George Fox is not responsible for any theft or damage to your vehicle while left unattended on campus.

Do not abandon your car on city streets, as the city of Newberg will tow it as an “abandoned vehicle” after 72 hours.

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

Campus Public Safety has noticed a lot of bikes scattered across campus recently. Please remember to lock your bike to a bike rack with a heavy-duty lock and chain. Leaving bikes in random places creates a temptation for thieves to try to steal your bikes.

At the end of the spring semester, a university-wide bicycle cleanup will be done. Bicycles that are illegally parked, unregistered or inoperable will be impounded, as bicycle racks will need to be cleared to do routine maintenance to the bicycle racks and surrounding areas.

Students using their bikes during the summer are encouraged to move their bikes inside to store them in their summer housing.

Bicycles not picked up from the impound lot within 60 days will be forwarded to local charities at the discretion of the Campus Public Safety office. Junk bicycles will be recycled.

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