There is a new ATM located in Heacock Commons as you enter through the main doors. This ATM is owned and operated by U.S. Bank. Thank you for your patience while the old ATM has been out of service.

This class is open to those interested in taking violin, viola or cello lessons in a small-group setting. There is no fee in addition to the normal tuition cost.

On Thursday, Dec. 18, George Fox University libraries will transition to a new library system. We are in the fourth and final group as the 37-member Orbis Cascade Alliance transitions from stand-alone library systems to one shared library system.

The new system will improve the research experience for our students and faculty and allow us to better manage our resources. More information can be found at this link.

All university offices on the Newberg campus and at the Portland Center will be closed Thursday and Friday, Nov. 27-28, for the Thanksgiving holiday.

‘Tis the season to ship packages and we have some tips to help ensure that your packages arrive safely.

1. Do not wrap the box in brown paper, grocery bags, wrapping paper, etc. (Too many times, the paper is ripped off in the handling and shipping process – and the address and postage are gone!)
   1. Just use a plain old box – a cereal box, a ShopVac box, an Office Depot box, etc.
   2. Put your new address label directly onto the box (or write the address on a clear side of the box). We also have shipping labels available that you can use.
   3. We do have a wide variety of the free Priority boxes – regular and Flat Rate.
   4. Another safety item: Put a copy of the address where it is going inside the box – just in case the box gets torn open.
2. Use blue or black ink for the address. Do not use red ink. Red is hard to read by the U.S. Mail scanners.
3. Use regular packing tape on the package. Do not use ribbon, bows, twine, etc. Also, do not use duct tape of any kind (security reasons).
4. Pack fragile items with lots of padding. ALL packages are handled by machines – they can’t read “Fragile” that people write on the outside of the package.
5. This year, U.S. Mail will deliver packages seven days a week during the holiday season.
6. Shipping deadlines are found in the lobby area of Mail Services or on our website (click here).

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