Are you interested in being a Peer Advisor next semester? If you’ve been thinking about applying, now is the time to make it happen! Take a look at the job description, then complete an application. Priority consideration will be given to applications received by Monday, April 26.

Peer Advisors play an integral role in assisting new students’ transition to George Fox. They assist with Welcome Weekend and a new co-curricular “Bruin Adventure” program designed to engage the heart, mind, and soul of each new student as they learn in community with their neighbors.

The Peer Advisor hiring process is running late this year due to changes in the curriculum, including the end of LIBA 100. 

Check out the FAQs page for more information about the fall 2021 plans.

Campus Public Safety would like to offer the following safety tips as we are enjoying warmer weather:

• Be sure to secure your windows!
  • If you want to sleep with open windows, buy some wooden dowels and cut them three inches shorter than the width of your window track.
  • Placing the dowel in your window track locks the window so that nobody can enter from the outside while still allowing cooler evening air to come into your room.
• Don’t prop exterior doors open, and be sure to close any exterior doors that you do find propped open.
• Do not allow anyone to enter your residence who isn’t accompanied by another resident.
• Walk in pairs at night, or call Campus Public Safety for an escort back to your residence.
• If you see somebody who doesn’t seem to belong on campus, contact Campus Public Safety immediately. Don’t wait!
  • Our officers will respond immediately and will have a better chance of making contact with the individual if you call right away.

Questions? Call Campus Public Safety (503-554-2090) or email Elrike Shaw (eshaw@georgefox.edu).

Come watch the great films that the cinematic arts students have produced over the year this Saturday, April 24, from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. in Bauman Auditorium. There is lower capacity due to COVID restrictions, so seats are first come, first served. We will also be live-streaming the event if you are unable to attend in person.

We are showing lots of great films this year, and there will be an awards ceremony at the end to honor the winner of each category. It is bound to be a fun evening of viewing!
