The Daily Bruin

The posting and display policy at George Fox applies to student-sponsored public displays and posters.

Displays generally consist of a number of images, pictures or ideas intended for engagement by the broader campus community to create awareness or generate discussion.

Posters are generally intended to advertise a particular event or raise awareness about the activities of a particular officially recognized campus club or organization.

Find all the details you need in the Student Handbook: Campus Display and Posting Policy section.

Please read these specific policies carefully:

• Push pins or removable tape are recommended.
• You must take down the flyers when your event is over.
• Only post on bulletin boards, posting kiosks, or sandwich boards.
• Do NOT post on walls, windows or doors.

For more information, please contact Jere Witherspoon in the student life office at jwitherspoon@georgefox.edu.

The Office of Undergraduate Admissions will be hosting Bruin Preview on campus tomorrow (Friday). With over 700 visitors expected on campus, we are asking George Fox students and employees to help extend the Be Known promise throughout the day. Here’s what you can keep in mind.

• Guests will be arriving on campus between 7:30 and 8:15 a.m. and will fill all the main campus parking lots. Students and employees are encouraged to take advantage of street parking and the Morse lot (near softball fields). Additional temporary overflow parking will be available at the Highway 99 lot, which is right next to Steve’s Automotive. Do not park in spaces marked off for Steve’s Automotive.
• Be mindful of guests in your housing area. We will have housing tours circulating through Newlin, Edwards, Gulley, Pennington, and HMS from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tour groups will be viewing dorm lobbies and a room in each dorm.
• Plan for a much busier-than-usual lunch in Canyon Commons. Guests will be going through the main servery lines and will eat in the main dining area. If you see a family looking for a spot to sit, invite them to join you and help direct them to their next activity.
• Offer a helping hand by giving directions to students and their families!
• Ninety prospective students have opted to stay overnight tonight before the main event! Be mindful and welcoming of prospective students to be in your on-campus living areas starting at 5:30 p.m. tonight.
