The finance office will be closed from Dec. 21 through Jan. 1 for Christmas break.

If you have any questions about deposits, contact Heather Groenlund at ext. 2173.

Due to a technical glitch late last week and yesterday, the university’s email system was unable to process Daily Bruin requests. If you made a request that failed to appear in the forum, feel free to resubmit it or email your information to Sean Patterson at spatterson@georgefox.edu.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

The university’s offices in Newberg, Portland, Redmond and Salem will be closed Monday, Dec. 23, through Wednesday, Jan. 1, for the Christmas and New Year’s Day holidays.

The libraries will follow the university’s closure plan, closing at 5 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 20, and reopening at 8 a.m. on Thursday, Jan. 2. In addition, the 24-hour space will be closed during that time.

Finally, the Bruin Store will be closed Saturday, Dec. 21, through Sunday, Jan. 5.

FoxTALE will be upgraded immediately following the Christmas break on Thursday, Jan. 2, and unavailable from 6 a.m. to noon. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes.

The university will be closed Monday, Dec. 23, through Wednesday, Jan. 1. Cash or check payments received in the student accounts office by 5 p.m. on Dec. 19 will be recorded in 2019; after that, they will be held and processed on Jan. 2, 2020.

Payments online are accepted throughout all of December and are immediately transacted the day submitted in MyGeorgeFox.edu. If paying for the spring semester, we encourage you to consider waiting until January to make a payment unless your due date falls in December.

The season of Advent is upon us, and the Office of Spiritual Life has partnered with faculty and students to publish the 2019 Advent Project. This daily reader is designed, written and created by people in the George Fox community and is intended to point us toward Christ as we await his birth.

Feel free to share it with friends, family and your faith community. Additionally, we will be sending a video at the beginning of each week to introduce each topic (hope, peace, joy and love). We hope it is helpful to you in some form as we celebrate this season of Advent together.

Contact Jamie Johnson (jamiej@georgefox.edu) with any questions.

Don’t forget that the Bruin Store buys back books year-round! Bring your student ID and the textbooks you no longer need, and if we can buy them, you will leave with cash in hand.

If you rented books for fall semester through the Bruin Store, the last day to check those books back in is Friday, Dec. 13. Please bring them to the Bruin Store (along with your student ID) during business hours to avoid any late, processing, or non-return fees.

Did you find the book you need but Amazon sells it for less? No worries! Just show us that the same book is being sold and shipped from Amazon, and we will be happy to match the price.

A doctor of ministry student is conducting a research survey on a potentially mixed culture between humans and humanoid-AI robots (human-AI culture).

This survey is fun to join because there is no right or wrong answer and it only takes two minutes to fill out. Your imagination will not only be helpful for this research, but will also take you on an adventure into the new world of humanity blended with AI technology and cyborgs in the next few decades.
