The Daily Bruin

On Sunday through Tuesday, May 14-16, Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue will conduct training in the four structures that will be demolished to make room for the new Student Activity Center – the Gail and Kershner houses and the two Lewis apartments closest to Kershner House (Lewis 7-11 and Lewis 12-16).

The crew will not set fire to the structures or burn them down, but they plan to set off smoke bombs and chop holes in the walls and roofs. So, don’t be alarmed to see smoke coming from this area of campus during those days.

Questions? Contact Dan Schutter at dschutter@georgefox.edu.

If you are still in the Newberg area for the summer, you are welcome to join the Ultimate Frisbee Club for some pick-up games at the George Fox football field.

Come  join us at 7 p.m. every Tuesday and Thursday for some Frisbee! Contact Joshua Weible (jweible15@georgefox.edu) with any questions.

Summer student workers, May Term students and employees: Here’s some information on where to park this summer.

You can park in the lots close to where you work or are taking classes, but we would ask you to be aware of what else is going on around campus, and when to park elsewhere! For example, Genesis is coming up next week, and all staff and students will need to clear out of the Wood-Mar/Hoover/Stevens lots to accommodate our newest Bruins and their families.

Similarly, the OSAA State Choir Competition begins this Thursday, and the Bauman and Wood-Mar lots will need to be kept open for our numerous guests. And when our camps and conferences begin in June, it will be a weekly switchover on which lots are occupied by our guests and which lots are open.

Please stay tuned to Security Services’ Facebook page and Daily Bruin announcements for information on where to park. Also, reserved spots and visitor rows are reserved 24/7, so please keep those spaces clear!

Thank you,
– Security Services

Plant Services is hosting its annual Phase II event this week. Items will be open for viewing in the Macy and Sutton basements starting today (Tuesday) from noon to 5 p.m. It will open again Wednesday and Thursday, May 3-4, between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., and again on Friday, May 5, from 8 a.m. to noon.

At the end of every school year, many students have good reusable items that they do not want to take home over the summer. These items often include blankets, clothing, kitchen supplies, small appliances, radios, room decorations, furniture, etc. In an effort to keep the dumpsters from overflowing and to be better stewards of our resources, Phase II was initiated. Many students have benefited from these items. For example, summer work-study students often find items they need for apartment living.

After students and staff view these items, the remaining items will be donated to the International Student Emergency Fund and other local charities.

We are looking for several students to work as interns for the university’s Community Garden this summer. These internships will be based on projects related to your major or minor. In addition to joining us for gardening and a potluck once a week, these internships will take two to four fours per week May through August.

Interested applicants should send an email with a concise description of any relevant experience, why they are interested in the job, and summer availability to Cherice Bock (cbock@georgefox.edu) by Sunday, April 30.

Compost & Garden Health Intern: Collect compostable materials from local businesses and individuals and maintain a compost pile (hot compost). Monitor the compost, as well as attending to the health of other aspects of the garden, researching and implementing organic mitigation strategies (pests, disease, soil health, or other areas of interest/expertise). Biology or other science major preferred.

Food Access & Community Connection: Coordinate the harvest and distribution of extra produce, connecting the food with Newberg residents who need food. Build connections with local individuals and organizations dealing with food security/food sovereignty and create and implement strategies for getting people connected with learning how to grow their own food with us. Social sciences or Christian ministries major preferred.

Garden Structures: If you have experience and enjoy engineering and building things, we have several structural projects on our list for this year, from researching, creating/purchasing, and implementing structures for plants to working with the compost intern to structure a compost area. Engineering major or someone with a strong construction background preferred.

Documentation: This one could go a few different directions (all of these would have the possibility of developing your social media skills if you’re interested in sharing about our work on our social media sites) …

• A science major could document the scientific processes occurring in the garden (planting dates, various treatments, harvest dates and amounts, and so forth).
• A writing/literature major could document our work in a narrative style, sharing about our garden on our blog.
• An art major could use photography and other artistic mediums to document our work.
