Please regularly use consideration for students, employees and visitors with mobility aids or limitations.
Here are some guidelines:
- Unless you have a need to use a larger, accessible bathroom stall, please leave those available for those who need them.
- Do not park in designated accessible parking spots without an appropriate placard.
- Please try not to block hallways, sidewalks, curb-cut ramps, or passageways, even temporarily. Any of these cause unnecessary delays and/or unsafe conditions for those who use walkers, wheelchairs, canes, or have other mobility restrictions.
Thank you for your care of our community! Contact Andrea Byerley at abyerley@georgefox.edu with any questions.

We are conducting a PsyD dissertation research project, “Resilience and Cultural Connectiveness within the Native American/Indigenous Population,â€Â and would appreciate your feedback. It will take about 15 to 20 minutes to complete our survey.
We are looking for participants with any Native American/American Indian Indigenous heritage. The purpose of this research is to show how resilience/strength, cultural identity, spiritual identity, and cultural connectiveness are reflected within the Indigenous population.
At the end of the survey is the option to enter a raffle (rewards include three $100 Visa gift cards) as a thank you. We have received IRB approval through George Fox, and as a tribal partnership project we place an emphasis on participant safety and a culturally humble approach to Indigenous research.
Thank you for considering participation in our research. If you have any questions, concerns or feedback, please feel free to contact Winston Seegobin at wseegobin@georgefox.edu or Lindsay Price at lprice18@georgefox.edu.
