Please make sure that you continue to carefully follow physical distancing guidelines to slow the spread of COVID. With the beautiful weather, it is tempting to relax our attention to these important matters.
If you are using the George Fox track or field or are out on the quad or elsewhere on campus, these guidelines from the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) should be carefully followed:
- Stay home, save lives. The best way to stay healthy and prevent the spread of COVID-19 is to stay home. You must also limit things you do outside your home to what you must do. Examples of things you must do are shopping for food or picking up medicines. The governor’s order does not allow gatherings where people cannot keep six feet apart. Also, the order does not allow social events and non-essential business where people come into close contact.Â
- Maintain six feet between you and all other people.
- Wash or sanitize your hands after contact with any surface.
- Do not touch your face, except after washing and sanitizing your hands.
- Avoid groups and contact with other people.
For more information on physical distancing and Oregon’s novel coronavirus response, click here. Questions? Contact Campus Public Safety at 503-554-2090.

Each year during Holy Week, the Office for Spiritual Life invites the community to meditate on Jesus’ journey to the cross through a Stations of the Cross prayer experience.
As we are not able to gather together for this annual tradition, the university pastors invite you to create a similar experience in your own home. We invite you to print this document and post the Scriptures around your home so that, as you move through your house, you may prayerfully meditate on Jesus’ journey to the cross throughout this Holy Week.
Peace be with you.
