Dear Students,

We are mourning the death of one of our community members, undergraduate student Aaron Altman. He was a sophomore finance major from Portland. Aaron died at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle after attending an event in Seattle on Friday, Oct. 31. His older brother (not a George Fox student) was with him. Campus Pastor Jamie Noling-Auth spoke with Aaron’s parents Monday and they described him as a prayer warrior who deeply loved Jesus.

If you are struggling and need support, please contact:
Spiritual Life: spirituallife@georgefox.edu
Health & Counseling Center: 503-554-2340
Residence Life staff: studentlife@georgefox.edu

Aaron’s family has warmly welcomed our community to attend the memorial service at Beaverton Foursquare this Saturday, Nov. 8, at 1 p.m.

There will also be an opportunity to have a second gathering on campus for Aaron’s friends next week. Details will be announced once they are confirmed.

Our hearts ache for Aaron’s family and friends as they grieve this loss of a loved member of our community. Please continue to hold them up in prayer during this difficult time.

Blessings,

Mark Pothoff,
Dean of Community Life

A student lost a small gold ring with a small diamond on it somewhere on campus. It is very special to her. If you find it, please bring it to the International Center/Cultural House.
