HOMECOMING

Welcome back, Classic Bruins! Join us as we welcome the class of '68 into the Classic Bruin family. We'll also honor the classes of '58 and '48 for their 60- and 70-year reunions, respectively.

Spend your Friday evening at our free alumni concert in Bauman Auditorium, described by former Oregon Symphony Music Director James DePreist as "one of the finest venues for music-making in this country" because of its outstanding acoustics. The concert features soloists, chamber ensembles and an Alumni Jazz Ensemble.

If you're interested in participating in this event, please contact Nathanael Ankeny at nankeny@georgefox.edu.

Gather with George Fox students, staff and alumni for a professional networking reception and continental breakfast. Afterward, join our workshop titled, "Being a Multicultural Leader in Your Field."

This 48,000-square-foot addition to campus includes three basketball/volleyball courts, a 5,400-square-foot area designated as Associated Student Community office and club space, a fitness center with views overlooking Hess Creek Canyon, a rock-climbing wall, two yoga/dance/aerobics studios, and a student lounge. And best of all, alumni and their families will be able to utilize the space starting this spring during special alumni weekends.

Take a guided campus tour hosted by a current student and see everything that's changed (and stayed the same!) since you were a student yourself. Your tour will end at our brand new alumni plaza right in time for the unveiling.

Join us to celebrate a new addition to our campus, the alumni plaza, featuring a ten-foot grizzly bear statue sculpted by artist Ryan Wilhite. We'll celebrate our joint legacy as Bruins over bearclaws and coffee while taking advantage of the best new photo spot on campus.

Join us at a campus-wide tailgate where you can grab some food from our vendors (or grill your own!), groove with Hit Machine while they play the hits from your time as a student, and reconnect with former professors and classmates. If you plan to bring a grill, here's some helpful information.

Alumni: We're ready to make you the deal of the century. Visit us at the alumni tent to update your contact information and we'll give you a free George Fox T-shirt. And if you wear that George Fox T-shirt to the football game, you and your family will get free admission. That's it – no strings attached! Additional t-shirts will be available for $5 each.

We may not have had a football team when you were a student, but we can assure this is the event you won't want to miss as an alumnus. Join the thousands of fans who pile into Stoffer Family Stadium to show their True Blue pride by cheering on the Bruins. Alumni, don't forget to nab a free T-shirt at the alumni tent during the tailgate; it'll get you and your family into the game for free!

Class of 2008, we're thrilled to welcome you back to campus for your 10-year reunion. Join your classmates offsite at the Chehalem Winery Tasting Room (walking distance from campus), and enjoy dinner together while you reconnect and share memories.

It's time to celebrate the class of 1998! It's been twenty years since graduation, so there's plenty for you to catch up on with your classmates. Stay tuned for more information and registration coming soon!

Join us on Homecoming weekend to honor our 2018 inductees on their outstanding achievements, both as Bruins and now in their communities.

The George Fox University men's soccer team is led by head coach Biniam Afenegus, in his first year at the helm. Don't miss this game against Pacific University, hosted at Austin Sports Complex, a beautiful venue tucked in the Chehalem Mountains in Newberg.
