In our efforts to understand the basic needs of our undergraduate students, we are sending this survey to all undergraduate students. Students who complete the survey by the deadline of Wednesday, Nov. 27, will be entered into a drawing for one of three $100 gift cards to Grocery Outlet.

“Basic needs” typically refers to the fundamental support and resources people need to survive. Examples of basic needs include food, shelter, transportation, clothes, clean water, education, mental and physical health, and access to quality health care.

Please take a few moments to complete this survey so that George Fox University can better understand how we can support our students. This survey is anonymous. If you choose to enter the drawing, at the end of the survey you will be asked to type in your email address. Your answers and email address will not be connected.

If you have any questions, please contact Jere Witherspoon at jwithers@georgefox.edu.

As part of our “Stand Tall, Don’t Fall” campaign, we’re sharing key tips for choosing the best winter footwear to keep you safe and steady on your feet.

When selecting winter shoes, focusing on the tread is crucial for safety and stability. Look for soles with deep, multi-directional lugs that can grip slippery surfaces like snow and ice. A rubber compound that stays flexible in cold weather will help maintain traction, even in freezing temperatures. Shoes with a textured, zigzag, or wave pattern offer better footing by channeling water away from the sole, reducing the likelihood of slipping.

The right tread design can make a big difference in how securely you move through winter conditions. Together, we can make the campus safer during this rainy season by preventing slips and falls!
