You all are doing a great job and have helped us remain COVID-free for 21 days!
We do have a change in our face-covering policy: As of today (Monday), face shields may continue to be used so long as you maintain six feet of distance. If you are closer (or likely to be closer) than six feet, you must wear a face mask. This minor change will help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Questions? Write cot@georgefox.edu.
Here are a couple of friendly reminders regarding the Hadlock Student Center:
Updates
Thank you for helping us keep Hadlock a safe space on campus!
Are you interested in woodworking? 3D printing? Sewing? Electronics? Welding? T-shirt making? And more? Did you know that the Maker Hub is available to all George Fox students (not just engineers!)?
The Maker Hub is officially open to the whole campus community, and we are welcoming all students to get involved, learn new skills, and stretch their creative muscles. Prerequisites for using the space include passing a few FoxTALE quizzes and getting familiar with our Maker Hub Wiki.
We are looking for “student aces” in the Maker Hub this semester. An “ace†is simply a volunteer who learns/knows a piece of equipment really well and is able to help train other students on it. Ace positions come with the benefits of extended shop access and learning new skills.
Email Nick Sullivan at nsullivan@georgefox.edu if you have questions.
A paving company will be repairing the potholes on Carlton Way today (Monday). They will be concentrating on the stretch of road between Sheridan Street and the South entrance to the Bauman parking lot.
As a result, Carlton Way will be closed in sections throughout the day. Pass- through traffic will be directed, and there will be delays. If you park along Carlton Way, please allow for extra time, as you may not have immediate access to your car.
Have questions? Contact Dixie Downey at ddowney@georgefox.edu.
Join us online for a special Tuesday morning chapel tomorrow at 11 a.m.! We will hear from Todd Curtis, associate professor of physics and winner of the 2019-20 Faculty Achievement Award for Undergraduate Teaching.

September is National Service Dog Month. Service dogs serve important roles in the lives of their handlers, and their roles may differ from person to person.
There are a number of service dogs on the George Fox campuses, as well as in the broader community. Remember that handlers are people first and should be the first ones to be approached. Service dogs are often working and should never be touched or distracted without asking the handler’s permission.
Depending on the emotional, physical, and therapeutic needs of the handler, service dogs fulfill many roles, from helping visually impaired individuals with navigation to assisting individuals during seizures. Learn more about the different ways in which service dogs assist their handlers.
