The Bruin Community Pantry (BCP), housed in Roberts 109-110, is an Office of Student Life-led initiative seeking to address the real problem of hunger (food insecurity) on campus.

From time to time, our volunteers have a schedule change, so the best way to know when the food bank is open is to save this link to your browser.

If you have questions, please contact Jere Witherspoon by emailing bruincommunitypantry@georgefox.edu.

Do you have artwork in your office that is from the Brandt Collection?

If you have questions about the artwork that you have in your space, need repairs on an art piece, or desire artwork for your office, you can contact Sarah Cuevas, exhibitions & collections assistant, at scuevas15@georgefox.edu.

What is the Brandt Collection?

David Brandt served as president of our university from 1998 to 2007, and part of his legacy is the Brandt Collection. The art department is continuing to maintain and acquire art for the collection.

• If artwork is purchased with university funds, it needs to go through the Brandt Collection Committee for approval.

• Though this year we are freezing acquisitions due to budget restriction and COVID-19, we will still continue to maintain the collection we have.

All vehicles brought to George Fox University or the surrounding neighborhoods must be registered with Campus Public Safety within one week of campus activity.

New Employees

New employees can register for their first parking permit for free. Any changes to an already-registered vehicle or license plate will require an update of your vehicle registration information.

To update your vehicle registration information, email Elrike Shaw in Campus Public Safety at eshaw@georgefox.edu. An additional permit can be purchased for $5 in cash.

Full-time faculty, adjunct faculty and staff

Full-time faculty, adjunct faculty and staff will be issued a gold/beige hang tag permit. Permits must be displayed from the inside rear view mirror and must be visible to Campus Public Safety staff.

• Adjuncts who are coaching assistants, teaching assistants, and current undergraduate students are required to register their vehicles as students and park in the designated areas as assigned by their student permit.
• If your current staff permit is gold/beige and has blue and red writing on it, then you don’t have to take any further action unless your vehicle information has changed since the time you originally registered.

If you are unsure about the information that we have on file, please call 503-554-2090 or email Elrike Shaw at eshaw@georgefox.edu.
