If you as a faculty or staff member require a desk, bookcase, filing cabinet or table, a work order will need to be entered for the delivery of these items.
Contact your building monitor so that they can enter the work order on your behalf. The custodial services team will deliver an item that matches the existing building furniture style. If no items exist in the surplus furniture inventory, your request will be denied and purchasing will work with you on acquiring the pieces of furniture that are needed.
Visits to Plant Services to look at the surplus furniture inventory are not allowed at this time. Contact Sonia Rademacher (srademacher@georgefox.edu) with any questions.

The Office for Spiritual Life is looking for Life Group leaders for our fall 2021 Life Groups series (the weeks of Sept. 10 through Nov. 12).

Three things you need to know about COVID-19 and campus life:
Wear your face masks where required. By state mandate, masks are required in indoor public spaces and at outdoor public settings where six feet of physical distancing is not possible.
Let us know if you have symptoms. Students and employees who experience COVID-19 or cold symptoms should quarantine and let the university know by completing the COVID Care Form. We can help you – and protect our community – if you let us know.
Today is the day! Join us this morning at 10:50 a.m. for Fall Academic Convocation Chapel in Bauman Auditorium. Provost Andrea Scott will address the community, and president Robin Baker and ASC president Micah Mensing will lead the Community Charge.

The Maker Hub would like to welcome back the whole Fox community with a fun game night this Thursday, Sept. 2, from 4 to 7 p.m. This will include vintage Atari video games and boardgames.
We are also encouraging folks to bring their own gaming consoles and hook them up to the flat-screen TVs in the meeting rooms. LAN party in the computer lab, anyone? No need to RSVP, just show up!
This event will also double as a Quiz Party. You may be aware that you need to pass a Canvas quiz to gain access to the Maker Hub (link found on the Maker Hub wiki page). But don’t worry, the quiz is not a requirement for the game night; the doors will be propped open.
We are treating it like an open-house event, so bring your friends, have fun, look around, ask questions, and take the quiz if you would like to get connected with the Maker Hub.
