The Daily Bruin

We in the Bruin Store are excited to welcome students back this fall! Students can place online orders at any time, at georgefoxshop.com, and are welcome to either have items shipped to them directly, or to pick up their books in the Bruin Store once they return to campus.

We will have modified hours beginning the week of Aug. 17, and specified online order pick-up hours based on the student’s last name (listed below). Any online orders can be picked up during these times, including both general merchandise and book purchases. All online order pick-ups will take place in the Bruin Store, where we will have enhanced COVID-19 distancing and cleanliness standards in place.

A limited number of people will be allowed in the store at once, recommended directions for aisles will be in place, masks will be required, and students will need to bring their ID cards and have their confirmation email ready to verify their orders.

Here is our Aug. 17-24 schedule:

• Aug. 17-20: Open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (students and families are welcome to pick up online orders at any time)
• Aug. 21: Open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. (last names A-M can pick up orders between 8 a.m. and noon; last names N-Z can pick up orders between 1 and 6 p.m.)

George Fox faculty and students are invited to take part in a virtual interprofessional continuing medical education event addressing suicide prevention on Saturday, Aug. 15. It will take place over Zoom from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

The event, hosted by the Interprofessional Primary Care Institute, is free to students and staff. It will feature experts from a variety of healthcare professions to discuss how interprofessional teams in school-based health centers and primary care clinics can work closely together to prevent adolescent suicide in our communities.

After rates of adolescent suicide in the U.S. stabilized from 2000 to 2007, suicide rates for ages 10 to 24 increased from 2007 (6.8 per 100,000 persons) to 2017 (10.6). While suicides increased across this age group, suicide rates most sharply increased for ages 10 to 14, nearly tripling from 2007 (0.9) to 2017 (2.5).

These increasing rates of adolescent suicide highlight the importance of prevention and intervention in schools, primary care and other community-based settings.

To learn more, contact Tammy O’Doherty (todohert@georgefox.edu).

As we approach the new academic year, all guests of the Hadlock Student Center must resign the waiver for the 2020-21 academic year.

Please take a few moments to carefully read and complete the new waiver, which can be found on our homepage or by logging on to your MyGeorgeFox account.

At this time we are actively planning to reopen sometime later this month and will post additional information in the coming weeks regarding updated policies and guidelines. We look forward to seeing you back in Hadlock this fall and helping you “find your fit.”

Now more than ever, our community is in need of resources, especially food. Students returning to campus who are eligible to be on a lower meal plan will need access to the Bruin Community Pantry food bank to supplement their nutritional needs.

Since May, more than 600 students, alumni and their families who live locally have utilized the food bank. We anticipate that this number will increase once school starts. Please consider helping in one of two ways:

1. Donate monthly through payroll deduction through the advancement office.
2. Shop for and deliver the below items to the food bank in Roberts Center during its hours of operation (currently Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 4 to 5:30 p.m., and Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon).

Or, contact Jere Witherspoon (jwitherspoon@georgefox.edu) to meet you at the food bank. Here is a list of the items that are needed:

• Pasta sauce
• Tuna
• Cereal
• Gluten-free items
• Top ramen
• Garbanzo beans
• Black beans
• Soups
• Canned meat
• Granola bars
• Microwave popcorn
• Meals in a can
• Crackers

Thank you for helping to stock up the food bank!

Interested in learning more about working as a behavioral health clinician? Join us for a special continuing education event focused on developing new skills for behavioral health learners using the Primary Care Behavioral Health (PCBH) model.

The course “Professional Solutions: Behavioral Health Clinician Essentials” will be held virtually the week of Aug. 10-14, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. There is no cost to participate for George Fox faculty or students. The event is hosted by the Interprofessional Primary Care Institute.

Research shows that clinics that implement the BCBH model are better equipped to deliver biopsychosocial-cultural care to the people they serve. The PCBH model is an evolution of psychotherapy that matches the fast pace of primary care by adding a behavioral health clinician (BHC) team member who works in a focused and accessible way.

BHCs in primary care are licensed psychologists, clinical social workers, professional counselors, and marriage and family therapists. This event will feature an interprofessional team that includes experts in the PCBH model, primary care clinicians, nurses and others who are invested in the success of BHCs in primary care.

To learn more, contact Tammy O’Doherty (todohert@georgefox.edu).

Bon Appetit is excited to welcome you to back to campus this fall! As you’d expect, we’re implementing some serious sanitation and service measures to ensure you can dine with us as safely and comfortably as possible.

While COVID-19 safety is a key priority, it isn’t our only one. We still believe that food has an important role to play in individual wellness and in building culture and community at George Fox. Our chefs will still be cooking from scratch, using fresh local and seasonal ingredients that meet our sustainability standards.

More information about dining can be found on this webpage. As more information unfolds, updates will be communicated with students and posted on this site.

Ready to make your voice heard? We want to hear from you! It’s your turn to have a say in the future of George Fox by participating in an open, informal conversation about your experience going remote during the spring semester of 2020.

This transition was difficult for a number of different reasons, some of which might be sensitive or hard to talk about. For this reason, we would like to chat with you in a group setting or one-on-one, moderated by a recent graduate who also went through the remote transition.

Interested in making Fox a better place? Please share your availability here.

We would like to request that there be no moving of furniture in classrooms between now and when classes start in the fall.

Due to Oregon Health Authority guidelines, we are having to rearrange and remove furniture in all of our instructional spaces and need for the rearranged furniture to remain in specific locations to ensure proper distancing. 

Thank you.
