The Office of Undergraduate Admissions is hosting Bruin Preview tomorrow (Friday). With around 650 visitors expected on campus, we are asking George Fox students and employees to help extend the Be Known promise throughout the day. Here is how you can do so:

• Use street parking instead of campus parking lots. Guests will be arriving on campus Friday morning between 7:45 and 8:15 a.m. and will fill all the main campus parking lots.
• Be mindful of guests in your housing area. We will have housing tours circulating through 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 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 with directions to students and their families!
• Ninety prospective students have opted to stay overnight tonight (Thursday) before the main event! Be mindful and welcoming of prospective students in your on-campus living areas starting at 5:30 p.m.

If you have questions, email visit@georgefox.edu or call Lauren Hill at 503-554-2245.
