Last week, we explored the concept of resilience and practical ways to increase our capacity for it. Becoming more resilient not only helps us get through difficult circumstances, it also empowers us to grow and improve our life along the way.
Resilience also often ties to our ability to live mindfully. Today, we invite you see that connection and read this article on building both mindfulness and resilience in the fall.
If you have any questions, reach out to Aga Luptak at aluptak@georgefox.edu.

The World Health Organization (WHO) designated Monday, Oct. 10, as World Mental Health Day to raise awareness and reduce stigma about anxiety, depression, and overall mental health. We recognize that students, faculty and staff within our own George Fox community face similar challenges.
A few years ago, one of our George Fox alumni created a series of yard signs that were distributed throughout the region to encourage those who might be struggling. During this season of midterms and stress, we have placed a number of those signs throughout campus for the next few weeks.
We encourage you to take time in the midst of this busy season for self-care and to recognize that God is with you and he is for you!
For those who are struggling, we want to remind you about the following confidential resources:

In order to process an invoice, the Accounts Pay team needs all of the below-mentioned information:
- Vendor ID number
- Vendor Name as appearing in PeopleSoft
- PeopleSoft PO number
- PeopleSoft receipt number
- And finally, a copy of the invoice.
AP receives a multitude of emailed payment requests, and there is a high probability of those getting buried, especially in cases wherein any of the above information is missing in the email.
To comply with audit requirements, AP does not have access to the purchasing module, thus they are unable to themselves obtain PO and receipt numbers from PeopleSoft.
In order to improve our current “Procure to Pay” process, and to help you to pay your invoices in a timely manner, we have released a Request for Payment form. This form replaces emailed and paper payment requests.
We are planning a formal training session in the coming months where we will share more information with you. In the meantime, feel free to email your questions to purchasing@georgefox.edu.
Thank you,
The Accounts Pay and Purchasing Teams
