The Daily Bruin

Hope you are enjoying your summer! Since you kept your mailbox key over the summer, you will be all set when school starts. If you have lost your mailbox key, you will need to stop at University Mail Services when you arrive on campus and pay for a new mailbox key.

We will stop forwarding U.S. Mail on Aug. 1. We are holding here at Mail Services all packages that come from now until school starts. When you arrive on campus, please stop at Mail Services and ask for them.

If you have questions, please email Linda Sartwell at lsartwel@georgefox.edu.
