The Daily Bruin

Is there someone at George Fox who has made a difference in your college experience? Did someone ignite a spark that made you want to learn more than you thought you could, someone who walked alongside you during a difficult season, or a person who has been a mentor?

Take a moment to write an email, e-card, or traditional thank-you card to that professor, coach, RA, tutor, supervisor, or other influential person. Stop by the ARC in the library to pick up a free blank card, or send or create your own.

Questions? Contact Julia James at jjames@georgefox.edu.

College Pro is currently hiring painters for those sticking around for the summer. The painter role is a fun and challenging position, ideal for someone wanting to get hands-on work experience and make money over the summer.

Painters will work outside with a crew of two to three people. Working with friends is encouraged, so apply together if you wish! Training is provided; therefore, no experience is necessary

Campus Public Safety will be conducting its annual bicycle roundup starting Monday, May 6. If you are staying on campus over the summer and plan to keep a bike here, please come to Campus Public Safety to get a sticker ID so your bike will not be removed.

• At the end of the spring semester, a university-wide bicycle cleanup is done. Bicycles that are illegally parked, unregistered or inoperable are impounded. Bicycle racks need to be cleared to do routine maintenance to the bike racks and surrounding areas.
• Bicycles may not be stored on the campus during the summer semester. Bicycle claims can be made at the Campus Public Safety office.
• Students using their bikes during the summer must move their bikes to the nearest rack of their summer housing.
• Bicycles not picked up from the impound lot within 60 days will be forwarded to the local charities at the discretion of the Campus Public Safety department. Junk bicycles will be recycled.
