The Daily Bruin

It’s back … Passport Day! Do you need a new passport? Do you need to renew your passport? If you answered yes to either one of these questions, then you will not want to miss this opportunity.

On Wednesday and Thursday, Oct. 7-8, the university will host a representative from the Dundee Post Office to take your photo and help you process your passport application. This piece of document is very important if you intend to travel outside of the country. Listed below are Passport Day details:

• Wednesday, Oct. 7 – 9 a.m. – 3 p.m.
• Thursday, Oct. 8 – 9 a.m. – noon

Both sessions will take place in the Cap and Gown Room on the Newberg campus. Please note that when you arrive to have your passport done you will need to pay at that time, and you can only pay by either cash or check (no credit cards will be accepted).

If you have any questions, please contact Richard Silver at 503-554-2551, or rsilver@georgefox.edu.

Many congregations engage in some sort of social service delivery that addresses issues of poverty. However, what they do and why they do it varies greatly. Mark Mulder, an associate professor of sociology at Calvin College, will speak at George Fox to specifically examine the inability of white evangelicals to see and understand structural injustice as a perpetuating cause of poverty in the United States.

Join us tomorrow (Thursday) at 7:30 p.m. in Hoover 105. The event is free and open to the public. Mark’s visit is being made possible with support from the Center for Peace and Justice.

Kudos to the staff, faculty and adjuncts who have already registered their vehicles on the new database located on MyGFU! However, security is still seeing the white hang tags and adjunct hang tags on staff cars that expire this Christmas. Please take five minutes to hop onto MyGFU and click on the Vehicle Registration link underneath “GFU Resources.” You will need your insurance or vehicle registration card in front of you when you register.

If you want to purchase additional permits for $5 cash each for additional vehicles, please bring your money and vehicle information to the security office and we will register those additional cars on site. If you want to just switch your one gratis hang tag between your vehicles, then please register them one right after the other.

For the mailing address portion, please put “414 N. Meridian St. Newberg, OR 97132” with your campus PO box number on the second line. All permits will be delivered to you via campus mail; they will not be mailed to a home address. Portland employees need register only if they do regular business on the Newberg campus.
