The Daily Bruin

The Employee Giving Campaign is coming up next week! The campaign will take place Monday through Friday, Nov. 4–8!

One of our goals of the campaign is to celebrate generosity. We would like to invite you to celebrate with us by attending an ice cream social on Monday, Nov. 4, from 2:30 to 4 p.m.!

Join us in Canyon Commons 103 to build your own ice cream sundae with all of your favorite toppings. There will be a short presentation at 3 p.m. about the impact employee giving has on our students and our campus. We encourage you to bring a friend or two for this fun celebration!

If you would like to join us for the ice cream social, please fill out this form so we have enough ice cream and toppings for all.

If you would like to start your employee giving now, you can complete this form. Questions? Contact Lindsey Coates at ldoran@georgefox.edu.

On Friday, Nov. 1, 25Live, the system for reserving event locations on campus, will become 25Live Pro. This new version of 25Live features an improved user interface and a new “Event Form” which replaces the “Event Wizard.” 

For those who prefer to use a mobile device, this webpage provides streamlined navigation.

If you have any questions regarding this change, contact Event Services at events@georgefox.edu or 503-554-2027.

Come to “HAWlloween” trick-or-treat in Houses and Apartments West on Thursday, Oct. 31, between 5:30 and 7:30 p.m.! There will be candy at the houses and apartments marked with glowing balloons for trick-or-treating students and community members.

• Thankful Thursday: Take the opportunity to share with your coworkers about what you’re thankful for here at George Fox and how you can turn your thankfulness into action.
• Finish Strong Friday: This will be the last day of our campaign. Please consider giving so we can finish strong!
