Linda Brock, a recruiter/mobilizer for Christian Missionary Fellowship International on the West Coast, will be on campus Monday, Sept. 29, from 5:45 to 7 p.m. in the Cap and Gown Room to talk about the organization’s internship program.

For 65 years, CMF has taken Christ to the nations by recruiting, equipping and sending people committed to reaching the world with God’s love. Its internship program provides a unique option for students to experience missions in the real world.

REACH is an eight-week summer CMF internship for college freshmen and above considering missionary service. Teams of interns travel to countries where experienced CMF missionaries guide and involve them in missions on the field. The program puts interns right in the middle of what God is doing in a variety of CMF ministries around the world. Internship dates for summer 2015 are May 28 to Aug. 1.

For more information, contact Austin Strutz at astrutz11@georgefox.edu.

Now that fall weather is here and it gets dark shortly after 7 p.m., security services would like to remind you about our escort service. If you don’t have a buddy to walk with across campus, please call security at 503-554-2090 and an officer can escort you back to your vehicle or on-campus residence.

Please be aware of your surroundings when you do walk on campus or around town and do not wear ear buds/headphones when walking, as you need to be able to hear somebody approaching. If you see or notice anybody that seems out of place or who doesn’t “belong,” please call security as soon as possible and describe the person(s) and what they were wearing/driving. We are happy to check it out for you!

Calling all men who may have left athletic gear in the Wheeler Sports Center men’s locker room last spring: Your items were bagged and stored all summer, and now it’s time for you to claim them.

We have shoes, shorts, T-shirts, racquets, toiletries, etc. They are currently in the baseball team room, but construction is starting in that location so their tenure there could be short. If this announcement pertains to you, please retrieve your items by Wednesday, Oct. 1.

Thank you,
Patty Findley (ext. 2910)
