Welcome to May! This month we will focus on our financial wellness. Topics will include retirement and estate planning, home ownership, banking and credit, budgeting, investing, identity protection and many more. We will provide you with access to webinars, free financial advice, online tools and resources.

Today, we offer you great resources about retirement and show you how you can access free financial advice and online tools. You can find it all at this link.

Be well.

Greetings from the Bruin Store, faculty and staff! Thanks to all who have already turned in their fall adoptions, but we still have a ways to go. The sooner we know, the better we can serve our students, so please make your fall course materials selections ASAP.

Cheers!

Please welcome Kimberly Bachmeier, who is joining Michelle Conrad and Melodee Powers as finance’s new accounts payable team member.

As always, please use the accountspayable@georgefox.edu email address to reach the AP team, as there are times when one of us may not be available. This ensures that we can handle your request promptly.
