This year, University Recreation is assessing our intramural sports program, and we’re looking to hear from you! Whether or not you play already, your input matters to us.

Your feedback on the fitness center was invaluable to us last year and resulted in the purchase of a multi-station cable machine and development of the exercise coaching program, among other things. We’re looking forward to hearing from you how we can continue to improve your experience with intramural sports!

Take the survey here. Everyone who takes it by Thursday, April 20, will receive a $5 Rental Center voucher and will be entered in a raffle to win a $50 Amazon gift card.

Questions? Email Angel Glockling at aglockling@georgefox.edu.

Campus Public Safety will be conducting its annual bicycle roundup starting Wednesday, May 3.

Here are the details:

• At the end of spring semester, a university-wide bicycle cleanup is conducted. Bikes that are illegally parked, unregistered or inoperable will be impounded. Bicycle racks need to be cleared to do routine maintenance to the bike racks and surrounding areas.
• Bicycles may not be stored on campus during the summer semester. Claims for impounded bikes may be made at the CPS office.
• If you are staying on campus over the summer and plan to keep a bike here, please stop by Campus Public Safety to get a sticker ID. Move your bike to the rack that is closest to your summer housing.
• Impounded bicycles will be kept at CPS for 60 days and then donated to local charities at the discretion of the Campus Public Safety office. Junk bikes will be recycled.

Questions? Contact Karen Toohey at 503-554-2091 or campussafety@georgefox.edu.

Here is your reminder that all Good Neighbor parking permits need to be returned to the Campus Public Safety office by the end of spring term. They may be returned anytime between April 19 and May 5.

Any permits not returned to Campus Public Safety after the deadline will result in a $25 charge to your student account.

We have not yet thought of all the ways we could help local communities heal from political polarization, so our disagreements can be the gifts they are meant to be. Come hear from two distinctly different community-building approaches (one in Hillsboro, and another in Sisters, Oregon), and consider how their experiences could inspire active, justice-building civility in your own community.

Join us for the George Fox Civility Project’s “Building Healthy Political Civility in Local Communities: Two Oregon Models,” taking place from 7 to 8:30 p.m. tonight (Monday) in Hoover 105.

Contact Ron Mock at civility@georgefox.edu for more information.

One of the off-campus program options for George Fox students is the Oregon Extension, deep in the Cascades of Southern Oregon.

It’s a 17-credit fall semester where students live in cabins heated with wood stoves and experience a different way to learn, one course at a time. Everything is designed to work on habits of deep learning and learning without the frenzy.

At the OE, the internet is not a way of life. Instead, there is a big vegetable garden. Chickens, turkeys, milking goats, and cheese-making are part of community life. After intensive periods of study, students get off campus to backpack in rugged mountains, relax at the Oregon Coast, and explore San Francisco.

A professor from the OE will be on campus Tuesday and Wednesday, April 18-19, at a table in Canyon Commons on Tuesday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and hosting an info session in Stevens 109 on Wednesday from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. Find out more at oregonextension.org.

Credit can be earned in environmental studies, art history, literature, political science, religious studies, history, psychology, biology, sociology, and philosophy.
