If you are currently parked in that lot, please move your vehicles to the Le Shana parking lot, which will be your new parking area. Please do this today to allow our new students to unload and move into their residences, and continue to park in the Le Shana lot (corner of Villa and Fulton streets).

Thank you in advance for your cooperation!

Hey students: Did you leave things behind in your room at the end of spring term, or in campus housing this summer? If so, please come to the security office as soon as you get back to school to claim your left-behind items, as everything in the lost and found will be donated to charitable causes by Friday, Sept. 2, to make room for incoming lost and found items from Welcome Weekend and the start of the semester.

We also encourage employees to swing by the office if indeed they are missing items and wish to check out what we have.

What are you interested in listening to on the university’s own KFOX radio station? We’d like find out! Take a couple minutes to let us know by taking this survey.

Thanks!

Attention staff, faculty and students: The Welcome Weekend staff asks that you please keep all parking spots vacant in front of Pennington Hall, Edwards Hall and HMS through this Friday, Aug. 26.

We also ask that you do not park at the farthest end of the Pennington lot (closest to the suites), as those spots will need to be used for Welcome Weekend traffic flow. We need those spots vacant due to Welcome Weekend activity and new resident move-ins during the week.

We appreciate your cooperation and apologize for any inconveniences this may cause. If you have any pressing questions or concerns, please email Welcome Weekend Coordinator Erika Muir at emuir12@georgefox.edu.

Thank you!

As usual, Plant Services has had super busy summer. We are still in the process of completing multiple building and remodeling projects, as well as several smaller projects and numerous office moves. As a result, we have accumulated more than 1,000 open work requests.

We are working hard to catch up but must complete student housing requests first. Thank you for your patience during this very busy time.

Due to safety concerns and fire risk associated with hoverboards that have been raised by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the potential impact to the safety of our community, George Fox University has decided to temporarily ban these devices.

Effective the spring 2016 semester until further notice, the use, possession, or storage of hoverboards, including all self-balancing type scooters and hands-free segways, will not be permitted on campus or on any George Fox property.

Contact Mark Pothoff for more information (mpothoff@georgefox.edu or 503-554-2313).

The duration of the testing will depend on how responsive the fire systems are, and on Wednesday the alarms will be demonstrated to the inspector.

As the IDEA Center transitions to Handshake as the new platform for professional internships and jobs, we would like to take the opportunity to inform the campus community about the new way that local businesses and families can connect with our students.

Because local, non-professional jobs are vital to our students’ supplemental income, we want to make sure there is a resource on campus for these employers to connect with students. We will now be posting these opportunities on BruinBoards.

Those looking to post local, part-time opportunities can contact the IDEA Center to request a posting, and students can find them under the “Local Jobs” link on the BruinBoards homepage.

Below is a reference for delineating which system to use:

• Professional level internships & jobs: Handshake
• On-campus employment: Handshake
• Part-time, non-professional jobs in the community (nannies, tutors, baristas, etc): BruinBoards

If you have questions, please contact the IDEA Center at 503-554-2330 or idea@georgefox.edu.
