The Daily Bruin

The campus will look a little different on Saturday as we prepare to host around 3,000 guests at our first football game of the year that afternoon at 1 p.m.. Here are some things to make note of:

Bauman Parking Lot
Be sure to move your cars out of the Bauman parking lot on Friday evening. This space will be dedicated to vendors and tailgating on Saturday. Stop by on Saturday and check out all of the food and activities happening before the game!

Entrances to the Football Game
There will be two entrances into the game and both are located in the Bauman parking lot, directly behind the stadium.

Wheeler Sports Center Closed
The Wheeler Sports Center will be closed from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. This means the basketball gym, racquetball courts and locker rooms will be closed. The Fitness Center will remain open for normal business hours, but you will need to enter through the hallway entrance located on the field level, toward the end of the building near the tennis courts. There will be security officers who will ask you where you are headed; just let them know that you are going to work out.

Bauman Walkway
The sidewalk located between the football stadium and Bauman will be closed. Please walk around the building and do not move the barricade.

Barricades
If you see a barricade, it is there for a reason. Please do not move them, jump over them, crawl under them, or unlock them.

Circle Parking Lot
The circle parking lot near Wheeler will be closed for the day. This space is reserved for officials to park in. Officials will arrive as early as 8:30 a.m.

Sideline Passes
No one will be granted field access without a sideline pass. Sideline passes are issued to those who are required to work and/or have official business during the game.

Tickets
Students and staff can show their ID cards at the gate to get into the game. Additional tickets can be purchased at the gate or online by visiting this ticket link.

We hope to see you at the game at 1 p.m. and the tailgates prior to that! We will be taking on the University of Wisconsin-Platteville.

If you are a faculty or staff member thinking about pursuing grant funding, that’s great! But there is a process to follow to ensure you don’t hit any road bumps.

First step: Do your research! Grants can be incredibly time-consuming (especially federal grants). Explore potential funders, record deadlines, and carefully consider your program or research needs. If you want help identifying a funder, don’t hesitate to contact University Advancement; it has access to a foundations database.

Most important step: Once you know which grant you want to pursue and you’ve discussed it with your dean, you must fill out the Grant Proposal Approval Form (located on the PeopleSoft homepage). All employees pursuing a grant must adhere to this process. Beyond your dean, University Advancement will facilitate all approvals on your behalf.

Why? Going through this process ensures staff and faculty don’t compete for the same grant, we dedicate faculty and administrator time to the highest priorities, and we don’t sign any grant paperwork that obligates George Fox to something unexpected. Depending on time and resources, Advancement will typically provide helpful feedback on the proposal, facilitate the submission process, and help you with reporting back to the funder. Advancement also processes all money and contracts in partnership with other offices.

We’re your partner in the grant process! For more info, check out this Grant Process & Procedures document. If you have any questions or want to chat about a new or existing grant, contact Britt Hoskins, associate director of advancement communications and grants, at ext. 2132 or bhoskins@georgefox.edu.

Effective July 1, the MLRC and Portland Center libraries are now only accepting debit and credit cards to purchase print cards. No more digging in your pockets or wallet for that extra change to purchase a print card. You can now purchase the print card you need with your debit/credit card. The library will accept cash or checks for other library purchases.

All IT purchases are now paid with a debit or credit card. They not only accept your debit or credit card, but Apple and Android Pay is also available. So if you need a new ID card, power adapter or to pay for those unexpected repair parts, you will no longer need to provide cash or a check. Just put it on the card.

Please note: ID cards will no longer be charged to student accounts.

Questions? Contact the Service Desk at servicedesk@georgefox.edu.

Now is the time to submit your request for business cards. Marketing communications will be processing a business card order soon. Place your order directly with B&B Print Source before Monday, Sept. 5.
