The Medallion Hunt, an annual event put on by Alumni and Parent Relations, brings together students and alumni for a fun, campus-wide treasure hunt. The custom crystal medallion has already been hidden somewhere on campus, and the lucky person to find it receives $200 and a gets to keep it.

To solve the clues and win the prize, you’ll have to tap into your knowledge of campus and George Fox history and do some research sleuthing to make your way to the secret location. It’s elementary, my dear Watson!

Watch the Alumni Relations social media Facebook and Instagram accounts for clues each day of the week leading up to Homecoming (Sept. 26-Oct. 1). Students will look for the physical medallion and alumni will solve the clues digitally. Will you be the first to find the crystal medallion?
