The Daily Bruin

Are you tired of summer jobs that only offer limited work schedules? Are you wishing you had full employment so that you can boost your bank account? Plant Services is here for you!

Plant Services has job postings on Handshake for working with our grounds crew, carpentry crew, and porter services (furniture moving crew). You do not need a work-study award to work over the summer, but you do have to be enrolled in the fall 2021 semester.

Each crew has a limited number of positions available, so apply now if you would like full 40-hour weeks of employment during the entire summer on our beautiful Newberg campus.

The university’s theatre department invites the George Fox community to its spring drama, Parables: A Theatrical Installation, to be presented live on campus April 8-11 and April 15-18, and both live and virtually April 15-18.

Live performances are free and are scheduled at 7:30 and 9 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, April 8-10 and April 15-17, and on both Sundays at 7:30 p.m. only. We will meet at the amphitheater on campus to begin the live shows.

Synopsis: Parables is a traveling theatrical installation that promises to be a unique experience for performers and audience members alike.

Campus Public Safety has noticed a lot of bikes scattered across campus recently. Please remember to lock your bike to a bike rack with a heavy-duty lock and chain. Leaving bikes in random places creates a temptation for thieves to steal them.

At the end of the spring semester, a university-wide bicycle cleanup will be done. Bicycles that are illegally parked, unregistered or inoperable will be impounded, as bicycle racks will need to be cleared to do routine maintenance to the bicycle racks and surrounding areas.

Students using their bikes during the summer are encouraged to move their bikes inside to store them in their summer housing.

Bicycles not picked up from the impound lot within 60 days will be forwarded to the local charities at the discretion of the Campus Public Safety office. Junk bicycles will be recycled.

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

Spouses and dependents of employees are now permitted to use the Hadlock Student Center, effective this month. If a spouse or adult dependent has a George Fox ID card, they need to login to MyGeorgeFox on their personal account and sign this year’s waiver.

If a spouse or adult dependent needs an ID card, the sponsoring university employee must email the IT Service Desk (servicedesk@georgefox.edu) to request one. Once the waiver is completed and the spouse or adult dependent has a valid ID, they will be able to use the Hadlock Student Center.

Spouses and adult dependents are able to participate in most programs and services that Hadlock offers, such as exercise classes and the climbing wall, with the exception of outdoor recreation trips and activities at this time.

For details on dependents 12 to 17 years of age, please see below, as our normal policy still applies. Dependents under the age of 12 are not permitted access at this time (with the exception of Family Days).

Here is our policy for family and dependents of employees:

• Full-time university employees can request a George Fox ID card for a spouse or dependent (aged 18 to 26) by emailing the IT Service Desk (servicedesk@georgefox.edu)
  • Spouses and dependents are not allowed to use the employee’s ID card for entrance
• A dependent is defined as a member of the household who is claimed as a dependent on the employee’s tax return
• Dependents aged 12 to 17 can use the HSC while directly supervised by a parent/guardian although they are not required to obtain a George Fox ID card
• Dependents under the age of 18 need to have a completed guest waiver on file prior to utilizing the facility

We are entering the final quarter of the fiscal year with an encouraging forecast for our final operating results, in spite of reduced revenue due to COVID-19. This is primarily because of a significant reduction in operating expenses.

Please continue to spend prudently on mission-driven priorities only. Ending the year in a strong fiscal position will help all of us with maintaining Fox’s standard of excellence going forward.

Today (Tuesday) through Thursday, April 8, all Champion brand merchandise is 20% off at the Bruin Store and online. We also have two full racks of tees under $10, and all Closet Project items are $1.

We take donations for the Closet Project year-round, and are in need of clean dress clothes, denim, women’s tops, men’s jackets, and blazers. Please bring donations by the Bruin Store during business hours. The Closet Project was started by the Bruin Store team as an initiative to bring affordable professional attire to our students.

Each item is sold for $1. All sales from the Closet Project are donated back to the Bruin Community Pantry, so this is a great way to both give back and put our students first.
