The Academic Affairs Office is in the process of organizing a walk-through Midyear Commencement to be held on Saturday, Dec. 5, at 10 a.m., and we are looking for volunteers to help usher and assist our graduates and their families!

The service will be very different from our typical ceremony but will still include both undergrad and graduate programs. A plan for physical distancing has been put in place and face coverings will be required for everyone.

If you choose to volunteer, the total time commitment will be approximately five to six hours. Volunteers will meet at Bauman Auditorium at 9 a.m. on Dec. 5 for instructions before students and families begin to arrive. The first group will be checking in at 9:45 a.m. for a 10 a.m. start, and the event should conclude by 3 p.m.

To volunteer, contact Laurie Fair at ext. 2140 or lfair@georgefox.edu.

Looking for a small keepsake to brighten up the holidays? The Maker Hub is hosting a Christmas ornament making event on Monday, Nov. 16, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Do you need additional organization in your office area? Are you one of the many working both on and off campus, and if so, do you have the items you need for both locations? The Thomas Center excess inventory may have items for you!

Come “shop” our desk organizers, tape dispensers, staplers, three-ring binders, filing cabinets, sorting and display racks, bulletin boards, desk lamps and more. For large items, choose the item you’d like and we’ll even deliver.

Because these items have been purchased with university funds, they are for university use and not personal use.

For questions regarding inventory, please contact Sonia Rademacher (ext. 2005) or Matt Hammar (ext. 2006).

Please encourage the students you work with to fill out this Be Known questionnaire. They could win a $100 Amazon gift card!

Those who fill out the form will have a chance to win the following prizes:

• First place (our favorite story): $100 Amazon gift card
• Second place: $50 Amazon gift card
• Third through fifth place: $25 Chapters gift card
