The Daily Bruin

If you work on campus, taking time for lunch during a busy work day is a valuable commodity. Eating on campus saves you time and gives you an opportunity to maximize your lunch break. Even better, lunch enjoyed in the Canyon Commons gives you a chance to socialize with both coworkers and students and enjoy a sense of community.

Why not join the Lunch Club! Stop by the Bon Appetit office and purchase a Lunch Club card. For $65 you can enjoy 15 lunches in the Canyon Commons dining hall. With all the food choices we offer on a daily basis, we have something for everyone!

Do you know of a deserving senior who demonstrates outstanding services as a servant leader on campus or in the community? Both employees and students can honor that person and the activity of voluntary service by nominating him or her for a C.W. Perry Servant Leadership Award.

The trustees of the Barney II and Moore Foundations established the C.W. Perry Servant Leadership Award at George Fox to reward leadership in the area of community and ministry service.

Only seniors (graduating in April 2018) are eligible for consideration. Up to four $1,000 awards will be given annually. Each award recipient will be required to set aside $250 of this gift to the charitable organization of his or her choice. The remaining $750 will be distributed to the award recipient in the form of a cash award.

The aim of the award is to promote the ideals of servant leadership in the George Fox community. In order for your nominee to qualify, this nomination form must be received by Monday, Feb. 26. Your georgefox.edu username will be recorded when you submit this form.

If you have any questions, please contact Stephanie St. Cyr at sstcyr@georgefox.edu or 503-554-2306.

We are looking for individuals who are willing to share their experience with battling depression, anxiety, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, or have lost a loved one to suicide. We, as George Fox film students, are producing a music video for an upcoming project to help communicate a cause that we care deeply about.

The goal of the film is to show others that we are not alone in our struggles, so we are looking for as many stories as possible that we can share. Filming will take place the weekends of Feb. 16-18 and Feb. 23-25, with exact times TBD.

Do you know a student who may benefit – or have family members that may benefit – from access to fresh produce as well as staple foods (rice, pasta, tortillas, canned vegetables, etc.)?

If so, keep Newberg FISH in mind as a resource. FISH provides food assistance in a respectful way to all those who come in and voice a need. They have a rule that they never turn anyone away.

To be eligible for a full food basket (with USDA food) there are some basic income restrictions, and a student must live in Newberg or Dundee. However, even students who do not meet these standards are eligible to receive the non-USDA food selection available at FISH.

A student simply needs to take a piece of his or her mail to the office. No Social Security numbers or intrusive personal details are collected. All FISH materials are available in English and Spanish.

To learn more about FISH, visit their website at newbergfish.org or write info@newbergfish.org. The office is located at 125-A S. Elliott Road in Newberg.
