Found items should promptly be taken to the Campus Public Safety office where they are tagged and logged with a date and location if known. We then check our master list of reported lost items to try to match an owner with an item. Owners are emailed or called if we can identify a match. For faster retrieval of your lost items, please write your name on your belongings.

Come in to the security office to report your lost items as soon as you lose them, and please pick them up quickly when you’re notified that they have been found because we have limited storage space. We donate unclaimed items every 4 to 6 weeks to charitable causes.

As our security officers patrol around campus, they have been seeing some creative parking!

Reminder: If you are parking on the street, your car must be facing the same direction as the lane of traffic next to you. When parking in a George Fox parking area, there must be a striped line on either side of your vehicle. For example, you may not park along the curbs in the Le Shana or Newlin parking lots. You are not permitted to park against building sides, walls, or by creating a new space.

Did you know that the Newberg police can fine you $110 for parking the wrong way on a city street or yellow curb fire zone, and $435 for parking in a handicapped spot (including hash-marked areas) without a valid state-issued handicapped permit?

Questions? Please check the parking regulations on our webpage or call the Campus Public Safety office at 503-554-2090.

Want to play a game that is kind of like baseball, but has five bases instead of three, first base can be stolen, there are no foul balls, and you can peg the runners? That game is called townball, and a group of students are playing it every Sunday at 3 p.m. by the Morse Athletic Fields.

Anyone and everyone is welcome to come and play; no baseball experience is required. Bring water, a glove if you have one, and your friends!
