The school year is already flying by and the yearbook is underway! The yearbook staff is working hard to capture each moment of this crazy life that is George Fox University. But we can’t be everywhere!

We are enlisting YOUR help, good and photogenic students–after all, YOU are where the action is. We have created a Facebook page where students are free to upload the photos taken throughout the year. Just “like” the George Fox Yearbook on Facebook, and begin submitting for a chance to get photos in the yearbook (to be released in the spring!).

We want to share your memories! Like the page today!

For more information, please contact Jenna Eliel at jeliel10@georgefox.edu

Do you crave companionship? Unconditional devotion? You need a goldfish! Or a troubling of Goldfish! (I don’t know why a group of goldfish is called a “troubling,” since they are delightful companions.)

Although you can’t get free flu shots at our Health and Counseling Center (because it is not a contracted Regence or Kaiser provider), Kaiser members can go to Kaiser to get yours free, and Pioneer members can go to practically any pharmacy/grocery in town for a free flu shot.

You just need to ask first if they are a contracted provider for Regence BCBS and show your insurance card. If the answer is yes, your flu shot is free (except for that little bit of “ouch”).
