As part of our commitment to campus safety, we want to ensure all personal transportation devices, including bicycles, skateboards and e-mobility devices, are used responsibly. All devices must be operated respectfully on roads and sidewalks only, with operators yielding to pedestrians and using courteous communication when approaching. For everyone’s safety, all devices may not be ridden inside campus buildings, and riders should keep wheels on the ground at all times.
University policy supports the safe and respectful use of e-mobility devices around campus.
- E-mobility devices, such as e-scooters, e-bikes, and hoverboards, should be ridden at slower speeds, especially in pedestrian-heavy areas.
- To mitigate fire risks, indoor charging and storage of these devices are strictly prohibited in accordance with Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue guidelines, institutional insurance requirements, and Oregon state law. Riding, storing or charging these devices inside campus buildings is forbidden.
- Devices must not block fire exits, stairways, or emergency access areas and should be parked only at designated bike racks.
- Remember, helmets and other safety gear are highly recommended.
We appreciate everyone’s cooperation in keeping our campus safe and accessible for all!

We’re excited to announce that in May of 2025 students and faculty from our Doctor of Physical Therapy program will be heading to Uganda for a medical service trip! Our well-established partnerships with local leaders in Uganda seek to meet the physical and educational needs that exist in these communities.
We will work alongside doctors, teachers and community leaders who have been our friends and partners for over 10 years. As we prepare to return, we need your help! This trip is being funded by donations and fundraisers, with our next one being through MOD Pizza on Monday, Dec. 9.
Visit the MOD Pizza in Newberg that day and use the code MODGIVES20 to support us (valid for dine-in, takeout or delivery).
In previous trips, we have seen kids and adults receive health care for the first time in their lives, having walked hours through rural Uganda to our large medical clinics. We have seen teenagers with cerebral palsy walk for the first time and even start playing soccer with friends. We have helped Ugandans with amputations return to the professional world in previously lost careers. We have even saved the lives of kids with hydrocephalus, or adults with progressive cancers by identifying them and ensuring they get the medical care they need.
Thank you for your support!
