George Fox University Job Listings & Profile

George Fox is Oregon's nationally recognized Christian university, providing students with personal attention, global opportunities to learn and serve, and a supportive community that encourages academic rigor and spiritual growth.

We are Oregon's oldest and largest Christian college and we serve students at a number of locations, including a residential undergraduate campus in Newberg, a Portland Center, a Salem Site, and teaching sites in other Oregon communities.

Our undergraduate campus is a 108-acre, tree-shaded property in the city of Newberg. Experience a Christian university in our natural setting. After class, you can study or enjoy a relaxing time with friends on our landscaped grounds. Chat with classmates in the rose garden, read a book in the Centennial Tower’s shade or escape down a trail in the wooded Hess Creek Canyon.

The campus has expanded in recent years to include 70 buildings. Our Canyon Commons opened in 2016, providing a dining experience overlooking the lush Hess Creek Canyon for up to 800. A new athletic field facility, the Austin Sports Complex, is a 24-acre tract north of the campus that serves as home to our soccer and lacrosse teams.

Our facilities include science, engineering and nursing labs equipped with the latest equipment and software; the 1,150-seat Bauman Auditorium, which has such good acoustics that the Oregon Symphony records here; and excellent athletic facilities, including the newly built Stoffer Family Stadium/Duke Athletic Center, home to our football and track programs.

Through numerous activities – sports, fellowship, study groups, Bible studies, etc. – our student body strives to create a fun, encouraging atmosphere.
