Please disregard the recent Daily Bruin announcement regarding the presence of skunks in Hess Creek Canyon. Apparently, it was a false alarm. You are free to roam the canyon without fear of getting sprayed.
In the event of an emergency, George Fox will send text and email messages to potentially affected students and employees via the university’s FoxAlert system.
Please make sure your mobile number is up to date by logging into MyGeorgeFox and clicking on the “Profile” tile. From there, click on the “Contact Details” menu and either add or edit the “Cell – Personal” phone type. There will be a system test in the next couple of weeks.
Questions can be directed to Rob Felton at rfelton@georgefox.edu.

Do you want to see your favorite professor get a pie in the face? Sigma Zeta is hosting a new event!
Donate nonperishable food to a professor’s box of your choosing and the first professor’s box to be filled will get “pie-d” by the competing professor. Different professors will be competing each week. The “pie-ing” will be held the week before finals, and boxes are located under the TV on the second floor of EHS.
This week it is Carlisle Chambers vs. Matt Stump. The boxes must be filled or the professor won’t get “pie-d,” so start donating now!

While there is no requirement for any signage or painted curbs to indicate “No Parking,” Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 811.550(16) prohibits parking within 10 feet of a fire hydrant.
Besides the financial penalties that you could incur from the city of Newberg, you could be delaying firefighters from getting water into a burning building when you block a fire hydrant.
Please help us to be good neighbors by being courteous of others and keeping our community safe.
