Thank you to all who have curtailed spending for nonessential items. In our continuing effort toward being good stewards of George Fox resources, we will now require that all purchases be approved in advance.
The PeopleSoft Purchasing system is the vehicle that we will be using for all purchases moving forward (including Visa transactions). Generated purchase requests will be converted into PO’s, and the approved PO will be sent to you electronically so that you will be able to complete the purchase. If you are requesting a purchase that uses your George Fox Visa card, the vendor selected would be “USBank.â€
An email was sent to all PeopleSoft users on April 16, 2020, with instructions/tutorial on creating purchase requests. We know that there will be some who haven’t generated purchase requests or haven’t done so for some time – not to worry! We will be available to give all the assistance that you need, including one-on-one training either over the phone, via email, in person or on Zoom.
Please call or email either Kathi Becker (kbecker@georgefox.edu or 503-554-2166) or Matt Hammar (mhammar@georgefox.edu or 503-554-2008) if you have questions.
The Hadlock Student Center intramurals program is hosting a running, cycling and walking/hiking challenge during the month of May. The individuals who log the most minutes for the entire month (there will be three separate groups) will win the respective championship. Depending on the number of sign-ups, we may have separate categories for students and faculty/staff.
Whether you run, ride or walk/hike really fast, or you’re just getting out for some exercise and cruising, the winners will be determined not by speed but by the total number of minutes for the entire month of May.
For more information and to sign up, go to imleagues.com. Questions? Email studentcenter@georgefox.edu.
George Fox is planning for students to return to physical classrooms at our teaching sites for the fall semester. We will do so thoughtfully and within the mandates from the governor’s office, but we will do everything in our power to offer our students in-person teaching rather than only remote delivery this fall.
Teams of George Fox employees are developing plans – in concert with the governor’s office and public health guidance – for the return to campus.
If you have questions, contact your VP or the university provost.
Now more than ever we all need to feel more comfortable working in the kitchen. Starting mid-May, live online cooking classes will be offered to all George Fox students, alumni and employees.
We will talk about how to use pantry food and elevate it with inexpensive ingredients from the produce, meat and dairy sections. From potatoes to rice, we will look at simple techniques that will give you many more options for healthy and nutritious food on a budget. You will learn to modify recipes for almost every dietary need.
Please complete this form if you are interested in participating in these classes. Whether you are in Alaska, California, Hawaii or Newberg, you can join in. All classes will be recorded for those who are unable to attend. There are no obligations!
Take advantage of these crazy days and learn to cook. You won’t be sorry! Classes will be taught by the Bruin Community Pantry’s Jere Witherspoon, and there may be special guests!

A George Fox alumna, JeanneAnn Farris, and a current student, Nicola Pieper, have created a play called International. A free play reading will be performed via Zoom tonight (Wednesday) at 7:30 p.m.
International is a play that explores the challenges and experiences of people who identify with more than one country. It delves into the struggles of identity in country, identity in the Christian faith, and the clashes and correlation of the two in relation to one another. It’s a compiling of interviews, most of which are associated with students and faculty of George Fox University.
If you’re interested, would like to know more, or would like the link to the Zoom session, email internationalstagedreading@gmail.com.
