The Daily Bruin

Students: Please do NOT prop open external doors in the evenings. We have had several instances of finding the doors propped open lately.

Why do we have the doors locked at 7:15 p.m.? In the last year we’ve had three occasions in the late evening of prowlers looking for items to steal. One of the occurrences left significant damage to many offices and gained access to secure areas.

We lock the doors in the evening to help provide you with safety and security. Please help us in maintaining it.

The Marketing Communications office is collecting orders for name tags. For those who have regular face-to-face contact with the public and need to order a name tag, you may now submit and view your name tag requests online. Provide the name of the person for whom the name tag is needed, title or department, and the budget to be charged. Examples of title or department include: Dean of Students/Student Life and Admissions Counselor/Admissions.

The next order will be placed Tuesday, August 4.

This is the last month that pay day will be on the 10th.  Beginning in August, pay day will shift to the 15th of each month as a result of allowing students to have their monthly pay on direct deposit.  The extra time is needed due to transmittal of the funds to the banks.

Direct deposit enrollment forms are included with your July 10th pay.  Consider taking advantage of this option so that your pay will be in your bank account on pay day without you having to make a trip to your branch.

Please email hr@georgefox.edu if you have any questions.

Also, please check to be sure all of your students have submitted their time sheets to you and follow up with any that have not.

And as always, we appreciate you checking for the following:

Thanks very much.
