The Office of Student Life would like to share that Kristi Welker has been hired as the director of commuter life. Her office is located in the student life office on the third floor of the Stevens Center. She is excited to get to know you and work alongside you this year. Her role is to help you along your college journey here at George Fox, and her passion is to help students feel connected and supported.

Feel free to email her at kwelker@georgefox.edu, stop by the student life office or call her at 503-554-2308.

Summer student employees: While it has been great to park in the staff lots this summer, the staff and faculty have now all returned! Please park now where your 2017-18 permit allows you to park and kindly vacate the staff lots for returning staff and faculty.

The only exceptions would be the 99W commuter lot, the Morse lot and the Austin lot, as they are still undergoing construction but are scheduled to be completed before school begins.

Thank you,
Security Services

Last call for the lost and found! If you lost something on campus from last April until now, and have yet to pick it up, now is the time to do so! All of the lost-and-found items not reunited with their original owners will be donated to charitable causes on Friday, Sept. 1, to make room for incoming items.

If we have emailed you about left-behind items, please come to the security office as soon as you arrive back on campus to claim your items, as space is very limited!
