With our rentals you can:

• Save 40 to 80 percent off the retail price
• Write and highlight – just don’t damage the book
• Convert to purchase by simply paying the difference anytime

At the end of the semester avoid the hassle of shipping by simply checking the book in at the Bruin Store. If you haven’t rented, you don’t know what you’re missing!

Mark 2 Ministries, Inc. of Newberg, in partnership with the university’s spiritual and intercultural life and student life offices, invite the George Fox community to an open house celebration at the ministry’s new “Friendship House” on Friday, Aug. 11, or Saturday, Aug. 12, between noon and 3 p.m. each day.

The house is located at 604 Brandon Dr., in Newberg. Mark 2 Ministries strives to empower our “friends” (individuals living with disabilities) to live and work in a community environment that values the gifts that each individual offers for the betterment of the whole. The ministry endeavors to do this by providing support services for the activities of daily living, job training and coaching, community inclusion, and social recreation.

Commuters: If you switch cars with your spouse, or drive more than one family-owned car to school, you will need to register your second car in the security office.

The database is set up to issue permits to only one car per commuter, so please bring your DMV registration slip to the security office during office hours to register your second car, and you will receive the permit for that car in the office. Just a reminder that your second car registration can’t be your roommate’s car, your boyfriend’s or girlfriend’s car, etc.; it must be a family-owned vehicle!

Please register as soon as possible and use the address that you will be commuting from, or your campus address and box number for your “mailing address” so you will receive your permit by the start of school.

As temperatures remain hot today through the weekend, be sure to keep your windows and blinds closed during the day. This will prevent your space from heating to the outside temperature.

And remember that temperatures are only supposed to get to about 70 degrees at night, so leaving your windows open overnight may not help cool things down. Use your best judgement to determine if doing so helps your situation.

Employees: If you are experiencing issues with your building’s air conditioning, please call Plant Services immediately.
