The Daily Bruin

Providence Basecamp’s “In the Kitchen” series brings together registered dietitians and a professional chef for a free, virtual monthly nutrition experience anyone can join.

Each session explores a focused nutrition theme, beginning with a live, virtual lunchtime conversation covering nutritional basics. Then, recipes come to life in a live-streamed cooking demonstration led by Providence experts, featuring delicious recipes you can make at home.

Coming up in May, they’re making a popcorn bar with the topic focused on “spices of life.” You an register for this monthly event at no cost.

In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, join Cathlyn Fraguela Rios, LICSW, PMH-C, for a practical and approachable conversation about behavioral health and everyday mental well-being.

This session will explore mental health beyond illness, share simple strategies to manage stress, and help you recognize when additional support may be needed. You’ll walk away with tools you can begin using immediately to protect your peace both at work and in life.

Register today here for the webinar, scheduled from noon to 12:45 p.m. on Thursday, May 14.

The Phase II donation drive was a success! Thanks to our amazing students, we’ve rescued a mountain of great items from the landfill. Now it’s time to “shop” the surplus and give these goods a second life.

Everything we collected last week is officially available for re-homing! Do you need items for your summer apartment?

• Where: The Thomas Center (1101 Villa Road)
• When: Today (Monday) ONLY, from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
• Cost: FREE
• The Goods: Kitchenware, clothes, décor, books, and more!

The “first pick” goes to our students! To ensure no resource goes to waste, we’ll be clearing the floor on Tuesday to support our local charity partners. Our building closes at 3:30 p.m. today, so come browse our sorted bins by then and get your “full-circle” finds while they last!

Over the past two years, the university has partnered with TimelyCare to provide virtual medical and mental health services to undergraduate students and select face-to-face graduate programs based in Newberg. We are writing to inform you that this contract will conclude on May 26, 2026.

We anticipate securing a replacement telehealth provider; however, there may be a temporary gap in service availability during the summer months. This transition is primarily due to the cost of these services, which has been higher than anticipated.

We are currently in advanced discussions with two potential vendors and will provide an update as soon as a new provider is selected, including details on how to access services.

In the meantime, we wanted to ensure you are aware of the potential gap in telehealth availability this summer so you can plan accordingly.

If you have any questions, please contact the Health and Counseling Center at hcc@georgefox.edu.

• Bicycles may not be stored on the campus during the summer semester. Bicycle claims can be made at the Campus Public Safety office.
• Students using their bikes during the summer must move their bikes to the nearest rack of their summer housing.
