Parent & Family Programs
Welcome, Families!
At George Fox University, we know that your encouragement and support directly affect your student's ability to be successful in college. Parent and Family Programs is committed to communicating with you about news and events at George Fox and to providing programs and services to help you stay connected to your student all year.
Family Weekend
Oct. 28-30
Come enjoy a weekend filled with exciting events for the whole family, including musical performances, fun family activities, and various athletic events. Make sure to arrange your lodging arrangements early if you plan to stay in Newberg.
Parent Communication
As a reminder, there are three avenues we use to communicate parent events and information. Parent Perspectives is a monthly email newsletter that features helpful family-focused articles, student perspectives, upcoming events, and other resources. Our George Fox University Parents Facebook page also highlights upcoming events and pictures of campus life. You can also find us on Instagram at @georgefoxfamily!
The Den
These groups are designed to connect you with the university and with fellow parents during this unique time in life. Den gatherings are typically hosted by families in regional locations. If you are interested in connecting to an existing Den or hosting a gathering in your home, you can learn more about the Den here.
We are honored that your student has chosen George Fox! Our desire is that each student will Be Known and that Christ will be at the center of everything we do. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
Online Course for Parents and Families
Parents and families of George Fox students are invited to participate in the Fox Family Academic Adventure this year. This free online course will give you a little glimpse into your student's academic experience at George Fox. Through a sampling of content from across our curriculum, you'll hear from many of the professors that your students will be learning from during their college journey.
Parent Handbook
Our Parent Handbook provides information on many of the departments and services that your student will utilize during their time at George Fox. Look at the student development/stress calendar to gain some insight into what your student may be encountering emotionally, mentally or physically each month.
