Are you ready to take on the iconic 3,000-foot granite monolith of El Capitan? The Hadlock Student Center climbing wall is hosting an El Cap Challenge Feb. 2 to 28 where climbers log 3,000 vertical feet, symbolic of surmounting the famous route in Yosemite.

Stop by the climbing wall for more information and to pick up a log to track your vertical feet through the month. The categories include first to reach 3,000 feet, hardest average grade, and fastest ascent.

In Matthew 10:42, Jesus calls his followers to offer even a cup of water in his name as a means of ministry. Given the plight of threatened drinking water in Africa, what can engineers and Christian leaders do to provide clean water to Africa?

These issues will be addressed by a panel on Tuesday, Feb. 11, from 4 to 5 p.m. in EHS 102. The panel will include Paul Anderson, Joseph Clair, Ben Giudice and Jeff Walters, as well as Larry Heitz, director of the Lawrence Institute. All are welcome!

The Newberg campus custodial duties have successfully transitioned over to Jani-King, who clean the academic areas after normal business hours. Another Jani-King crew services Canyon Commons several times during the day.

If you have an area that seems to have been missed on the cleaning schedule, a sudden spill requiring immediate clean-up, or if you notice a restroom that is lacking supplies due to high traffic, please contact the Plant Services office. We have a day crew that can restock or clean areas during business hours. Thank you!

This spring break, teams will serve at:

• California/Mexico border with The Global Immersion Project
• Seattle, Washington, with Urban Impact
• Wapato, Washington, with Mending Wings at the Yakama Indian Reservation
• Yosemite, California, with the Tuolumne River Trust
