The Daily Bruin

Undergraduate admissions is hiring three call team representatives for this year! Our call team connects with prospective students to share the value of George Fox University and to make sure they are on track with the application process.

The position is three to four hours per week, with the majority of the hours taking place on Wednesdays from 4:15 to 7:15 p.m. The position pays $10.75 per hour and is available to second-year students and above. Interested applicants must apply through Handshake.

We hope to see an application from you!

Please Contact Ryan Forbes (rforbes@georgefox.edu) in admissions if you have additional questions about the position.

Did you know that the official lost and found is located at the Campus Public Safety office in the Stevens Center parking lot? Due to limited storage, we can only keep items five to eight weeks before they are donated to charitable causes, so come promptly to our office to look for your lost items! Left-behind items in Duke and Wheeler usually stay in Wheeler, and most items left behind in the Roberts Center remain in that building.

There are also lost-and-found boxes at the check-in kiosks at Canyon Commons, so check there first if you may have left items in there. The best practice of all is to take a Sharpie and label your items with your name and phone number so we can notify you (especially phone and computer chargers, water bottles, notebooks and books, lunch bags, calculators, earphones and clothing items).

By September of 2019, Bon Appetit will eliminate all plastic straws from our 1,000 cafes in 33 states. We were the first in food service to make this commitment companywide, and as industry leaders it’s a step we can take toward safeguarding the earth from single-use plastics.

Effective Monday, Sept. 24, Bon Appetit at George Fox will be offering compostable paper straws in the Bruin Den and Bridge Cafe. We will continue to offer a small number of plastic straws specifically for our guests with disabilities and access needs. If you really need a straw, we are happy to provide one.

Thank you for joining this worldwide movement away from single-use disposables. We’re glad to have you with us on the leading edge.
