All Newberg, Portland, Boise, Salem and Redmond offices will be closed tomorrow (Friday, March 30), for the spring break holiday. All libraries and bookstores will be closed as well.
How would you like to simultaneously contribute to the arts and see an exciting new show for free? My name is Susan Carlson, and Jenn Lippert and I are the house managers for the upcoming main-stage play The Broken. We need ushers. No experience is necessary, and you will get free admission.
If you would like to join or if you have any questions, please contact me at scarlson10@georgefox.edu. Let me know what day(s) you want to do. Here are the performance dates and times. You will need to show up about an hour before showtime (we’ll give you an exact time later).
Nominations for Support Staff Member of the Year and Administrator of the Year for 2011-12 will be accepted through Friday, April 13.
If you have any colleagues you believe are deserving of this award, please take a few minutes to submit a nomination. Links to a memo about the nomination process and criteria, the nomination form, and the list eligible employees can be found at the top of the Payroll and Performance Forms page of the HR website.
Using the nomination form is optional. Nominations can also be submitted in an e-mail to Peggy Kilburg (pkilburg@georgefox.edu).
During spring break the custodial department drops to 13 full-time staff and cleans the entire Newberg campus without the assistance of our work- study students. As a result, we will be reducing the regular cleaning schedule for offices and other services in most public buildings for this week.
If, however, you feel there is cleaning that we have overlooked that needs to be done in your building this week, please e-mail me at dastlefo@georgefox.edu and I will get someone to take care of it as soon as possible.
Thank you,
Dwayne Astleford, Plant Services

If you have not completed the Housing Selection Form you have until 5 p.m. today to do so.
Just login to the Housing Form and then click on the “Housing Group Signups†link on the left side. This will take you to the page where you can find your housing code. One person from each group will then fill out the remainder of the form using codes from the other individuals in the group. Once housing codes have been entered and roommate choices confirmed you will be asked to rank the order of your housing preferences.
If you are not part of a group you can still go through the housing process as an individual. In this case, rather than being placed by your credit ranking, we will work with you to identify a suitable spot in campus housing.

Dear Student Supervisors,
Please use this reminder checklist now as you prepare to send your March time sheets to HR:
To ensure that we get the time sheets on time, please hand deliver them to HR. You can ask a student employee to deliver the time sheets to us as long as you first put them in a sealed envelope (keeps us in legal compliance). The only exception to this rule is the Portland Center – please scan or fax your time sheets first, then drop the originals in the mail.
Thank you for working with me to ensure a timely and accurate payroll for our students.
Melodee Powers, HR
