The Daily Bruin

Housing selection for Fall 2014 begins next week on Monday, March 16. The online housing form will be accessible through Friday, March 20.

To participate in selection make sure your housing deposit is paid by 5 p.m. on Thursday, March 19. To pay this, please go to the student accounts office located on the first floor of Stevens. The deposit should be paid with check or cash since they do not accept credit or debit in their office.

Before paying please be aware of the following:

• Your student account must be paid in full. If on a payment plan, your March payment must be received and any amount not covered by your payment plan must be paid.
• Regardless of who pays the deposit, each student must stop by student accounts. If the deposit is accepted you will receive a Housing Deposit Confirmation slip. This slip is needed as a  record of payment.
• A payment received in any other way won’t be processed as a deposit, but instead will overpay the account or be applied toward the next monthly payment. Student accounts routinely refunds over-payments, so if you get a refund check you are not expecting please stop by to confirm the status of your housing deposit.

Additional details regarding housing selection are posted on the Housing and Residence Life website.

Questions?  Contact housing@georgefox.edu or stop by the student life office.

The campus community is invited to a Liberal Arts and Critical Issues presentation, “It’s OUR Journalism: We should fix it if we can,” this Monday, March 16, in Hoover 105. The session runs from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. and features Clifford G. Rowe, professor emeritus from the Department of Communication and Theatre at Pacific Lutheran University.

Rowe will address the questions, “What is the responsibility of journalists to the public, and what role does the public play in creating journalism?” and “How do we create responsible and reliable journalism?” The questions are particularly relevant in an age in which early reporting, “people on the street commentary” and social media posts and photos all contribute to information and misinformation in the news.
