The Daily Bruin

When the Bruins play at home, you can count on a packed stadium. It takes a village to make our football games the success they are, and we’d love to have you join our team of incredible volunteers, the Bruin Brigade. All volunteers will receive lunch or dinner at each game they volunteer, free entry into the game and a T-shirt.

If you’re interested in joining the Bruin Brigade as a ticket seller or at the information table, send an email to Sarah Reid (sreid@georgefox.edu) and she’ll get you connected.

If we have emailed you about left-behind items, please come to the security office as soon as you arrive back on campus to claim your items, as space is very limited!

Commuters: If you switch cars with your spouse, or drive more than one family-owned car to school, you will need to register your second car in the security office.

The database is set up to issue permits to only one car per commuter, so please bring your DMV registration slip to the security office during office hours to register your second car, and you will receive the permit for that car in the office. Just a reminder that your second car registration can’t be your roommate’s car, your boyfriend’s or girlfriend’s car, etc.; it must be a family-owned vehicle!

Please register as soon as possible and use the address that you will be commuting from, or your campus address and box number for your “mailing address” so you will receive your permit by the start of school.

Have you made your nomination(s) for the Support Staff Member of the Year and Administrator of the Year awards? If not, be sure to do so today! If you have a colleague you believe is deserving of one of these awards, take a few minutes to submit a nomination. This is a chance to honor those who have done exceptional work in supporting the mission and vision of the university.

You only need send an email to Rob Westervelt (rwesterv@georgefox.edu) stating the reasons you believe the person deserves the award. If you have questions about who is eligible, contact Rob. Please submit your nominations by the end of today (Wednesday).

During finals week our community experienced the tragic death of undergraduate student Daniel Mellers. Due to the timing of his death, the university decided to wait until school reconvenes for the fall semester to host a service in his honor.

The service will be held at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 5, in Canyon Commons. We will make the date more widely known once the school year begins but wanted employees to be able to save the date, as it may have implications for other campus events and student support needs.

Please contact the spiritual life office with any additional questions or concerns (ext. 2320).
