Student Life

Student Clubs

George Fox offers a variety of student-led clubs to fit student interests. We invite you to take part in one or even start your own! Clubs allow students to express their passions and interests, develop leadership and management skills, and enhance the overall George Fox student community.

George Fox holds its club members and leaders to a high standard of behavior in accordance with its Christian values and community standards. If a club acts in a way that seems out of step with these values and standards, we encourage you to contact the club leaders directly before contacting the university administration. In the spirit of the Gospel of Matthew 18:15-17, we encourage the charitable resolution of differences between individuals. If further action is necessary, you are welcome to submit a complaint form to the Clubs Director detailing how the club's actions conflict with GFU’s community standards.

For more information about clubs, please refer to our Club Manual below. If you have questions, please contact Genevieve Wolf at gwolf18@georgefox.edu.
