Last summer several departments profited from on-site training in what to do in an active-shooter-on-campus situation. If your department wasn’t able to schedule this training then, please consider setting it up for this summer.
Instruction is given on what to do in an emergency situation like an active shooter, and then an actual scenario is set up in your building so you can find out how to react, escape or hide from a threatening situation, and what to do next.
Please contact security at 503-554-2090 or e-mail Ed Gierok (egierok@georgefox.edu) to discuss scheduling this training for your department. Your work-study students are also encouraged to attend.
Make plans to attend the all-employee meeting scheduled for this Thursday, May 28, from 2:30 to 4 p.m. in VAC 117 (please make note of earlier start time and different location). A live stream of the meeting will be shown in Portland Center’s Room 160.

Do you know what to do if a medical emergency were to happen in your classroom or office? Could you administer CPR, perform first aid or use an automated external defibrillator (AED)?

Weather permitting, the Hoover parking lot is the next to be restriped today (Tuesday). Please park in either the Wood-Mar or Stevens parking lots.
