The Office of Undergraduate Admissions will be hosting Scholarship Summit on campus tomorrow (Friday). With around 500 visitors expected on campus, we are asking George Fox students and employees to help extend the Be Known promise throughout the day. Here’s what you can keep in mind.
- Use street parking instead of campus parking lots. Guests will be arriving on campus Friday morning between 7:45 and 8:30 a.m. and will fill all the main campus parking lots.
- Be mindful of guests in your housing area. We will have housing tours circulating through Edwards, Gulley, Pennington, HMS, and Newlin from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tour groups will be viewing dorm lobbies and a room on the first floor of each dorm.
- Plan for Canyon Commons to be busier than usual. Guests will be going through the main servery line. If you see a family looking for a spot to sit, invite them to join you!
For questions email visit@georgefox.edu or call Lauren Hill at 503-554-2245.
