On Thursday, Oct. 20, at 10:20 a.m., the university will participate in The Great Oregon Shake Out, an exercise designed to test the school’s emergency notification systems as well as create dialogue among the George Fox community on how to be personally prepared should an earthquake occur.

While the potential earthquake hazards depend upon your location, you could be anywhere when an earthquake strikes – at home, at work, at school or even on vacation. What we do now will determine our quality of life after our next big earthquake. Are you prepared to survive and recover quickly?

The Great Oregon ShakeOut is an annual opportunity to practice how to be safer during big earthquakes: “Drop, Cover and Hold On.” The ShakeOut has also been organized to encourage us to review and update emergency preparedness plans and supplies and to secure our spaces in order to prevent damage and injuries.

Stay tuned each week, as we will provide a link to resources to help you get ready.

Don’t forget to mark your calendars: On Thursday, Oct. 20, the university will participate in The Great Oregon Shake Out, an exercise designed to test the school’s emergency notification systems as well as create dialogue among the George Fox community on how to be personally prepared should an earthquake occur.

The Medallion Hunt, an annual event put on by Alumni and Parent Relations, brings together students and alumni for a fun, campus-wide treasure hunt. The custom crystal medallion has already been hidden somewhere on campus, and the lucky person to find it receives $200 and a gets to keep it.

To solve the clues and win the prize, you’ll have to tap into your knowledge of campus and George Fox history and do some research sleuthing to make your way to the secret location. It’s elementary, my dear Watson!

Watch the Alumni Relations social media Facebook and Instagram accounts for clues each day of the week leading up to Homecoming (Sept. 26-Oct. 1). Students will look for the physical medallion and alumni will solve the clues digitally. Will you be the first to find the crystal medallion?
