Find out here how to best prevent the flu this season.
Don’t forget that you and your family members (ages 18 and up) can get free flu shots and COVID-19 booster vaccinations on campus during the Health and Benefits fair tomorrow (Thursday) from noon to 4 p.m. in Canyon Commons while supplies last.
Protect yourself and others, and be well.

If you plan to travel for winter break please know that you will receive your paycheck in the same manner that you have set up; we cannot process checks early. If you want to ensure that you receive your paycheck while you’re out of town, setting up direct deposit will be necessary.
To do that, come by the HR Office (206 N. Meridian St.; #37 on the campus map) to fill out the paperwork. You cannot do it online. Email Kelly Peterson at kpeterson@georgefox.edu if you need help.
