Over the past couple of years there has been a shift in customer buying behavior at our bookstores and with this comes both challenges and opportunities.<\/p>\n

Effective Feb. 1, the Portland Center Bookstore will close its physical presence and transition to a Web-based service center at store.georgefox.edu<\/a>. \u00c2\u00a0This will allow the bookstore to move from a small space that offers just textbooks and a small selection of other items during limited hours to a Website available 24\/7 that will allow students to purchase all their textbooks plus imprinted clothing, gifts, supplies, computer products and academically priced software.<\/p>\n

Here’s how it will affect the following groups:<\/p>\n

Students<\/strong>
\nOur Portland and Salem students will be able to shop online at any time and have their orders shipped to their home or delivered to either the Portland or Salem Center for pick up. For payment, we will take Visa or MasterCard or can charge a student account. A vending machine in the Portland Center will provide school supplies such as pens, pencils, batteries and paper.<\/p>\n

Bookstore Personnel<\/strong>
\nJohn Stewart will move his office to the Newberg campus and transition to the position of marketing and e-commerce coordinator. \u00c2\u00a0He will focus on growing the Bruin Bookstore e-commerce sales to increase revenue for the university.<\/p>\n

Portland\/Salem Faculty & Staff<\/strong>
\nJohn will be the contact for textbook questions and issues and will help departments with supply needs or special orders.<\/p>\n

We are excited about the opportunity to serve our Portland\/Salem students, faculty and staff in a new way.\u00c2\u00a0 If you have questions, please contact John Stewart at 503-554-6125 or at jstewart@georgefox.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We welcome your questions and input.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
