An update on events in the news and the university’s transgender student housing policy is available at georgefox.edu/transgender.

On Thursday, June 5, our colleagues at Seattle Pacific University experienced a shooting on campus that resulted in one death and additional injuries.

In respect and observance of their loss, the flag shall be displayed at half staff June 6-13. The Seattle Pacific University community is in our thoughts and prayers.

Starting this week, you will need only your MyGFU username and password to log in to library resources from off campus.

Summit and Foxtrax will still ask for your last name and library barcode. When those systems are replaced at the end of the year, they too will begin using MyGFU credentials, and you will never have to type in your 14-digit barcode again.

Questions? Contact Alex Rolfe at arolfe@georgefox.edu.

Starting Monday, May 5, the parking lot for the Pennington residence hall and the east end of the Bauman lot, near the grandstands, are going to be barricaded off and will need to be free of all vehicles. There will be construction taking place over the summer, and vehicles may not be left there.

Please help us keep these areas free of vehicle parking so the workers and equipment can move freely and safely during the summer. We will notify you of when the lots will be available for use in the future. If your vehicle is left, it will be towed at your expense.

If you are leaving for the summer and need to leave a vehicle, contact security at 503-554-2090 and we will inform you of the options you have.

Thank you,
