The Daily Bruin

Please take a moment to share the gift of words with our employees who are celebrating a “years of service” milestone. Feel free to thank them or share a favorite memory by adding a comment under their name on this form.

We’ll share your gift of words on cards, and present them at the all-community meeting on Monday, Aug. 19.

Please reach out to Kara Holcombe (kholcombe@georgefox.edu or ext. 2189) if you have any questions regarding the honorees.

The Bruin Den reopens today (Monday) with summer hours of operation (8 a.m. to 2 p.m.). However, we will be closed tomorrow (Tuesday) for our all-employee back-to-school meeting.

Students will be arriving soon, and our first group of new incoming students will be our football players on Wednesday, Aug. 14.

These players work hard helping other students move into housing, and we want to show them some love and appreciation by offering this same service when they arrive.

We are looking for volunteers to be at the Stevens Center by 7:30 a.m. on Aug. 14 to help move football players into their living areas. There are approximately 40 new players arriving that day. We will be finished by 10 a.m. at the latest.

If you can help, please contact Megan Fisher at ext. 2112 or mfisher@georgefox.edu.

Help out in recognizing coworkers who are celebrating milestone anniversaries at this year’s all-community meeting, scheduled for Monday, Aug. 19.  

We in HR are looking for volunteers to help us with the presentation at the meeting. Each volunteer will speak for two to three minutes and honor a group celebrating a milestone by reminiscing about the year they were hired (don’t worry, we will help you out with content).

If you are able to help, please contact Nichole Drew at ndrew@georgefox.edu to volunteer. 

Please have all vehicles out of the Wood-Mar parking lot by Friday, Aug. 16, at noon. The crane will be moving into place the new HVAC on the roof. 

On Saturday, the parking lot, Wood-Mar and EHS will be closed for the crane work. Thanks for your cooperation, and don’t get your car trapped inside the lot for the weekend!

Make plans to join your colleagues at the all-community meeting, scheduled from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 19, in Canyon Commons.

We are looking for George Fox-approved driver(s) to pick up first-year incoming international students at the Portland International Airport on Friday, Aug. 16, and Saturday, Aug. 17.

These pick-ups are clustered to scheduled times between 8:30 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. only. Pay is offered. If you would like more information, please contact Rebecca Hernandez at rhernandez@georgefox.edu or at ext. 2147.  

On Wednesday, Student Accounts mailed a bill to each student with a balance due. This new statement has a very different look and feel.

Change can be hard, even when it is positive change, so to assist with questions that may arise we have a web page designed to answer anticipated questions. If you would like to see what the new bill looks like or if you are helping someone with their bill, go to sa.georgefox.edu and choose “FAQ,” or you can search the George Fox website for “Student Accounts FAQ.” 

Need an updated photo for the university website? Do you currently have the Bruin bear as your faculty/staff pic? The marketing communications team will be outside of Canyon Commons after the all-community meeting on Monday, Aug. 19, between 3 and 4 p.m.

No appointment is necessary. Just drop by and have your photo taken; the marketing communications team will take care of the rest!

In following up from the all-employee meeting on July 25, we want to remind you that George Fox is changing its single sign-on process today, Aug. 7.

All current systems using single sign-on (ie. Library services, StarRez, Handshake, Slate, etc.) will be directed to a new login page. On Aug. 16, we will also add Gmail and FoxTALE.

Please note: The first time you log in you will be asked to enter a secondary email as well as choose security questions and an image. This is to confirm your account going forward; after entering this information in once, you will not need to do it again.
