Students: We are receiving many calls from neighbors about all the student cars stashed in the neighborhoods surrounding the school. You must park ONLY where your permit allows or your car will be ticketed, and the neighborhoods are off-limits.

If you have yet to register, please do so immediately on MyGFU and park in your designated areas. Even if you have been already been charged for a parking permit as a commuter or grad student, you still need to register your vehicle on MyGFU and place your permit on the rear window of your vehicle.

If you do not know where your permit allows you to park, then come immediately to the Campus Public Safety office or refer to the parking brochure that came with your permit to avoid a parking ticket.

The parking brochure is also online if you are still waiting for your permit to arrive. We know you have better things to do with your money than pay parking tickets, so please pay attention to these details!

Commuters: Please take three minutes to complete this Commuter Interest Survey.

The results from this survey will help us to plan events and provide services that are most beneficial to you. Let us know how we can best serve you by completing this short survey. All individuals who complete the survey between now until Thursday, Sept. 15, at 11:55 p.m. will be entered to win one of 10 $5 Chapters gift cards.

If you have any questions, please email Kristi Welker, director of Commuter Life, at kwelker@georgefox.edu.

Do you enjoy spending time with kids? Then Little Bruins may be the right fit for you. Much like Big Brother/Sister programs, Big/Little Bruins are George Fox students who are paired one-to-one with a student from an elementary or middle school in the Newberg Public School District.

Big Bruins meet and establish a relationship with Little Bruins to serve as a role model for a fruitful lifestyle. The program requires George Fox students to visit their Little Bruin for at least one hour a week during the months of October, November, February and March.

Students interested in this service opportunity need to apply by today (Friday, Sept. 7). All the forms and information can be found at this link. There will be a Serve Day training on Sept. 12 for those who apply.

Please contact Alex Embleton (aembleton15@georgefox.edu) for more information and any questions.
