The Daily Bruin

Are you interested in improving your health and fitness? The Find your Fit employee health and fitness program will help you do both! 

This program is free to George Fox employees and only $25 for spouses. As part of the program you will receive a health assessment, including body composition, BMI, blood pressure, pulmonary function test, electrocardiogram, blood lipid profile and fasting blood glucose, as well as fitness testing. These measurements will then be used to help an exercise science student create an individualized exercise prescription for you designed to reach your health and fitness goals. 

Due to limited availability, we can only accept the first 40 people this fall semester. Please contact Mary Imboden (mimboden@georgefox.edu) if interested.

George Fox University’s Physical Therapy Clinic is open now and all summer long to serve your needs. We provide care from prevention to after-surgery rehabilitation.

Our team of therapists are board-certified specialists in sports medicine, pediatrics and neuro-rehab. We can help you regain function, decrease pain and enjoy life more. Some of the common conditions we treat are sprains and strains of all body parts, surgeries to the extremities and spine, chronic pain and many more!

If you would like more information regarding our services, or would like to speak with a licensed physical therapist, please give us a call at 503-554-2479 or visit our website.

We are providers for Regence Blue Cross of Oregon and are out-of-network providers for most other insurances. We look forward to meeting you and helping you on your journey to well-being.

The Office for Spiritual Life is interested in having employees attend chapel more regularly, so we’d like to collect information to help us know how to encourage employee attendance.

Would you take a couple of minutes to complete this five-question survey? If you have questions, please email Jamie Johnson (jamiej@georgefox.edu). Thank you!

The registrar’s office is considering changing the name of the Application for Degree form in order to better communicate to our students what they are doing and why it’s important.

Please complete this short survey to let us know what terminology best communicates the goal of the form so students know what it is and why they need to complete it.

Thank you!

The Office of Student Life is seeking a graphic design and hospitality specialist for both fall and spring semester during the 2019-20 academic year.

We are in for a very hot week, so here are some tips for staying safe.

• Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! If you feel thirsty, you are already dehydrated.
• Learn the signs of heat stroke and heat exhaustion.
• Do NOT prop open your doors. We know it is hard to sleep when it is hot, but propping open your doors puts the entire floor or apartment at risk.
• Purchase fans for your room now before the local supply is exhausted.
• Purchase wooden dowels and cut them two to four inches less than the width of your window panel. That way your windows can stay open, but intruders can’t enter. Close your windows before going to work and draw the drapes/blinds to keep your residence as cool as possible.
• The temptation to sleep outside is great, but please consider your own personal safety and risk.
• Don’t forget the sunscreen, wide hat and sunglasses!
• If you feel faint, get out of the sun into a cool area and sip on water. Seek medical attention if symptoms don’t improve.
