The Daily Bruin

Geoffrey Moore, an author, speaker and advisor who has written a million-selling book and advises high-tech enterprises that include Microsoft, Intel and Salesforce, will speak on the university’s Newberg campus on Friday, July 8. The public is invited to attend, and admission is free.

Moore’s life’s work has focused on the market dynamics surrounding disruptive innovations. In addition to writing three books (Crossing the Chasm, The Gorilla Game and Inside the Tornado), Moore’s most recent endeavor, Escape Velocity, addresses the challenge large enterprises face when they seek to add a new line of business to their established portfolio.

Join us from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. in Lemmons 8. Questions? Contact Adina McConaughey at amcconaughey@georgefox.edu.

Our wonderful custodians have been hard at work deep-cleaning all of the residences since school let out, and they have been bringing copious amounts of left-behind items to the lost and found, including clothing, kitchenware, cleaning supplies, a backpack, a rug runner, a scooter, long mirror, and various other things.

Many of these items came from the Lewis Apartments, Winters Apartments, Carey 2, Brandt (men’s side), etc. Now that you’ve unpacked, did you leave anything behind in those residences? If so, please contact security to describe your left-behind item(s), as most are tagged with where they were found.

Claimed items will only be kept until the first week of school, and the unclaimed items will be donated to charitable causes soon due to lack of space, so please call 503-554-2090 or email Nadine Kincaid at nkincaid@georgefox.edu to describe your left-behind item(s).
