Last week, all employees received an e-mail from Missy Terry (President’s Office) with important information regarding the upcoming Presidential Inauguration, March 6-7. This e-mail contained a schedule of events, class cancellation specifics, office closure information, and procedures for the academic processional occurring at the installation ceremony.

As a reminder, we ask that all employees register for the events that they plan to attend by this Friday, Feb. 29. The registration form is available at georgefox.edu/inauguration/registration-form3.html.

We hope that you will choose to take part in this historic celebration. The entire series of events has been crafted to highlight the entire university and what makes this such a special place.

To clarify one item from the e-mail, faculty should register for the installation ceremony (even though their involvement is expected) so that the proper number of chairs can be reserved in Bauman Auditorium.

The full schedule of events is available at georgefox.edu/inauguration.

If you would like another copy of Missy’s e-mail sent to you, please e-mail Robby Larson, inauguration co-chair, at rlarson@georgefox.edu.

As part of a nursing research project on campus, students are educating the university community about the automated external defibrillator (AED), a computerized medical device that checks a person’s heart rhythm and recognizes a rhythm that requires a shock. It also gives the rescuer the steps that need to be taken to save a life. The device should be used any time a person collapses and is not moving or breathing and has no heartbeat.

George Fox has one AED. It is located in the trainers’ room and can be accessed by any trainer.
