Questions? Write cot@georgefox.edu.

Hadlock reminders and updates

Sunday, September 13th, 2020

Here are a couple of friendly reminders regarding the Hadlock Student Center:

  • Rules for mask-wearing still apply in the HSC. Please help us keep Hadlock safe by wearing a face mask/covering over your nose and mouth the entire time you are in the facility.
  • If you have a class in Hadlock’s gym, please exit using the emergency doors located downstairs. This will help the flow of traffic so you do not cross paths with the following class.

Updates

  • Intramurals started this week! Courts will be closed from 6 to 10 p.m. on Monday and Wednesday night, but you are more than welcome to come watch as teams compete in pickleball and badminton.
  • This semester’s group fitness schedule is now up on IMLeagues! We will be offering yoga, Zumba and cycling. Sign up to reserve your spot; we are limiting it to nine people per class this year. We hope to see you there!

Thank you for helping us keep Hadlock a safe space on campus!

Maker Hub is available to all students

Sunday, September 13th, 2020

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.
