We are in need of a designer who is excited to partner their technical skills with our marketing needs.

We are doing a complete overhaul of all our housing floor plans (50-plus) and looking for marketing materials to help advertise a new housing software system. We have allotted 120 paid hours toward this internship.

A majority of the work will need to happen in the fall, with two to five hours per week. The intern will be paid minimum wage and be required to keep track of time. The intern will report directly to the director of university housing (who also co-owns a local design firm).

To apply, submit a cover letter to kgriffith@georgefox.edu explaining what you have to offer and what you want to learn, a resume, and either a personal website or three examples of finished work.

Questions? Contact Kayin Griffith at the above email address.

Effective July 1, the MLRC and Portland Center libraries are now only accepting debit and credit cards to purchase print cards. No more digging in your pockets or wallet for that extra change to purchase a print card. You can now purchase the print card you need with your debit/credit card. The library will accept cash or checks for other library purchases.

All IT purchases are now paid with a debit or credit card. They not only accept your debit or credit card, but Apple and Android Pay is also available. So if you need a new ID card, power adapter or to pay for those unexpected repair parts, you will no longer need to provide cash or a check. Just put it on the card.

Please note: ID cards will no longer be charged to student accounts.

Questions? Contact the Service Desk at servicedesk@georgefox.edu.

Please join us in honoring Creagh Schoen, our nurse practitioner, who is leaving George Fox after serving the students and greater George Fox community for more than 12 years.

According to some polls (Department of Human Services, Oregon Health Plan, etc.), at least 25 percent of Newberg lies beneath the national poverty line. Helping those in need is a very special calling, but often goes undefined.

One way to give back to the community is by mentoring youth. Little Bruins is a youth mentoring program. Unlike in the past, George Fox is partnering with various agencies from the Newberg School District to provide multiple volunteer avenues to mentor youth, including:

• One-on-one
• Big Bruin/Little Bruin mentoring with elementary and middle schoolers
• MyZone middle school activity center, and
• AVID tutoring program for adolescents

If you are interested in giving back to the community and gaining valuable experience working with youth, come to the Little Bruins info session tonight (Wednesday) in Bauman Auditorium just after Vespers. You have the opportunity to make a real difference in these young people’s lives.

Contact Alexa Aldridge (aaldridge15@georgefox.edu) or Sean Robertson (srobertson14@georgefox.edu) for more information.
