Following is our process for announcing campus closure information. The provost will make the decision whether or not to close the Newberg campus, Portland Center and Salem site for daytime classes by 6:30 a.m. or 2:15 p.m. for evening classes. This applies to all days of the week, including Saturday. If there is no announcement by the deadline, assume classes are being held. Decisions at the Redmond site will be made by the professor.
Major considerations are road conditions, ice, utility service disruption, and how long the severe weather or emergency is likely to last. To find out if a closure decision has been made when bad weather occurs:
Weather may make it difficult or even impossible for some to come to campus even though the university is operating as usual. In no circumstances should employees or students put themselves in danger or peril in an attempt to get to campus. If they feel conditions are too hazardous for travel, they should not make the attempt.
More information on campus closure policies can be found at georgefox.edu/closure

This is the last week of chapel and Vespers. On Tuesday morning (10:50 to 11:40 a.m.), President Robin Baker will speak in chapel. Come join us for festivities and treats!
Vespers on Wednesday night (7 p.m.) will meet in three locations. You may choose to attend in either Hoover 105, the Canyon Commons or Wood-Mar Auditorium. Each will be led by a different campus pastor and fellow students. These Advent services will include songs, Scripture and candle lighting. This is the final service of the semester!
We have really grown as a community this semester learning what building life in Jesus is from various guest speakers and becoming a unified “ONE” in Vespers.
Peace
