The Daily Bruin

Our team is thrilled to begin planning for Serve Day 2018!

We like to place employees with community partners they’re already connected to or in roles they enjoy. Please help us by completing this linked form. You can note any preferences, limitations or questions you have and we’ll take them into consideration when we place you on a team over the summer.

If you’re planning to be on sabbatical next semester or know of a significant change that will keep you away from campus during the week of Serve Day, please let us know using the form. It is essential for our planning. Please note: The survey above is required for all Newberg employees.

See you Wednesday, Sept. 12, for another great Serve Day!

Do you know someone who deserves special recognition for awesome work at our next all-employee meeting (Thursday, April 19)? Please take a moment to nominate a colleague using this form by the end of the day on Monday, April 16. Include a short summary (two to three sentences) of their recent success!
