The Daily Bruin

The Bruin Den reopens today (Monday) with summer hours of operation (8 a.m. to 2 p.m.). However, we will be closed tomorrow (Tuesday) for our all-employee back-to-school meeting.

Please have all vehicles out of the Wood-Mar parking lot by Friday, Aug. 16, at noon. The crane will be moving into place the new HVAC on the roof. 

On Saturday, the parking lot, Wood-Mar and EHS will be closed for the crane work. Thanks for your cooperation, and don’t get your car trapped inside the lot for the weekend!

Wednesday we mailed a bill to each student with a balance due. This new statement has a very different look and feel.

Change can be hard, even when it is positive change, so to assist with questions that may arise we have a web page designed to answer anticipated questions. Simply go to sa.georgefox.edu and choose “FAQ,” or you can search the George Fox website for “Student Accounts FAQ.”

We are looking for George Fox-approved driver(s) to pick up first-year incoming international students at the Portland International Airport on Friday, Aug. 16, and Saturday, Aug. 17.

These pick-ups are clustered to scheduled times between 8:30 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. only. Pay is offered. If you would like more information, please contact Rebecca Hernandez at rhernandez@georgefox.edu or at ext. 2147.  

In following up from the all-employee meeting on July 25, we want to remind you that George Fox is changing its single sign-on process today, Aug. 7.

All current systems using single sign-on (ie. Library services, StarRez, Handshake, Slate, etc.) will be directed to a new login page. On Aug. 16, we will also add Gmail and FoxTALE.

Please note: The first time you log in you will be asked to enter a secondary email as well as choose security questions and an image. This is to confirm your account going forward; after entering this information in once, you will not need to do it again.

Questions? Contact the Service Desk at servicedesk@georgefox.edu.

Freshmen who have been approved to register for a parking permit should be receiving letters via email with instructions about registering vehicles. Be sure to have your DMV registration slip in front of you, as you will need some of that information in order to register.

While registering, if the parking location you were assigned isn’t available in the drop-down menu, please call Elrike Shaw at 503-554-2090. Please DO NOT purchase a commuter permit instead.

We are eager to help you and will do our best to solve any issues you might be experiencing. Thank you for your cooperation.
