The city’s public works maintenance crews will be conducting a smoke test of the sewer lines that serve the Newberg campus Aug. 22-25. The smoke is a non-toxic gas that will escape the sewer system through house and building vents.
Any smoke seen coming from a drain or fixture inside your house or building should be reported immediately to the city by calling 503-537-1234. Smoke coming from roof vents do not need to be reported to the city.
Thank you!
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!

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
