Bon Appetit wishes to welcome all our new students as well as welcome back all our returning students. We’ve made several changes this year to accommodate all the additional students.

• Starting Monday, Aug. 30, we will have two entry points into Klages Dining Room for lunch and dinner where students on meal plans can swipe their ID cards. In addition to the one in the hallway by the pond, we are adding a second station at the Bruin Den Annex door. We’re hoping this will shorten the lines during these meals.
• Because the Bruin Den Annex will be open for student dining for lunch and dinner, it will no longer be an exclusive area for Bruin Den customers. For those who are accustomed to eating lunch in the annex, you’re still invited to come in and join us. Please just let our person who is swiping cards know you’re a Bruin Den customer and you’re welcome to bring in the lunch you purchased from the Den. Another great option would be to stroll over to our Villa Cafe located in the VAC.
• Trays are back. Due to the large number of students we’ll be serving, we’ve decided to bring back the trays on a trial basis to see if using them will be more efficient for everyone.
• This year we are introducing a new celiac-friendly station in our servery for those students who have certain gluten and wheat-related intolerances. Please come and check it out as it’ll greatly enhance the number of options available for meals.
• For weekly menus and other information, please check out our website: cafebonappetit.com/georgefox.

Come join our George Fox community in chapel this Monday morning with our kick-off chapel speaker, President Robin Baker. Chapel will be held in Bauman Auditorium from 10:40 to 11:30 a.m.

Mail Services will be open this Saturday – August 28, 2010 – from 10:00 am – 4:00 pm

Beat the Monday rush and pick up your packages on Saturday, August 28th.  Thanks!

To pay your bill online, simply go to your student center and remain on the student center tab. Then scroll down to “Account Inquiry“ and from there, “Make a Payment”. You can choose to pay directly from your savings or checking account and no fees are charged! If you want to pay by credit card, however, there is a 2.75% convenience fee. Questions?

This is a reminder that Xerox ColorQube training is scheduled for Wednesday, Aug. 25, at the following locations and times: MLRC first floor at 9 a.m.; Stevens Center second-floor mezzanine at 10:30 a.m.; Hoover’s second floor at 1 p.m.; Villa Academic Complex lobby at 2:30 p.m.; and Print Services at 4 p.m.

Security Services is finishing up the last of the parking permits, so please make sure you have registered your car or registered as NOCAR on myGFU. After your permit has been issued, you will receive a package notice from Mail Services, and you will need to sign for your permit at the main post office by the track. Please affix your permit on the lower, outside corner of the exterior rear window on the Driver’s side. Do NOT place it over an existing permit as the adhesive is designed to stick to the window-not another permit. A parking brochure indicating where your permit allows you to park will be included with your permit. Please begin parking in the correct lots this weekend! Don’t hestitate to call ext. 2090 if you have any questions.

Students who registered after fall bills were printed and mailed in July or who are expecting an updated bill will need to access their student account charges through their student service center. Everything you need…account transactions, pending aid and payment due dates are all accessible online. And now, you can even pay online and give permissions to others to pay online! (See yesterday’s E-nnouncement.)

The library is pleased to deliver library materials for participating faculty to their offices. All library materials must be signed for by the faculty member or persons designated as their signers.

If you have used this service in the past or you are signing up for the first time, please click on this link and fill out the form.

This Thursday we will welcome the largest-ever incoming class of students. Parking is going to be extremely congested, especially on the west side of campus. Please do not park in the Stevens, Hoover, Wood-Mar or Pennington lots, or on Sheridan, Carlton (library/Mail Services area), River or Center streets south of Sheridan Street.

We would ask you to park in the Bauman lot if you work/have classes on the west side of campus, and when that is full, to park on the campus side of Meridian Street. Please help us to be as welcoming to our new and returning students, and to sacrifice your parking spots this Thursday through Saturday.

Summer workstudy students living on campus this fall need to leave their cars in the lots that their parking permits indicate, and off-campus summer workstudy students and grad students need to park in the commuter lots beginning on Thursday.

The next few weeks might be challenging, so we ask for your patience!

Thank you,
Security Services
