George Fox is once again partnering with Hillsboro Airporter to provide shuttle service to Portland International Airport for Thanksgiving break. Students will be expected to work directly with Hillsboro Airporter to reserve their spot.

Here are the details:

• The cost for one passenger is $65, plus a tip. Each additional passenger is $3.
• Each shuttle can fit five to six passengers. The cost per student is based on the total number of passengers during the scheduled times, so if you can fill one shuttle, the cost per student could be as low as $15 (if you have a total of six passengers).
• Make your reservations more than 24 hours in advance and Hillsboro Airporter can group you together. To reserve your spot, go online to Hillsboro Airporter & Car Service LLC.
• Hillsboro Airporter accepts cash or credit card for payment. Parents can call Hillsboro Airporter with a credit card to pay for their student’s fare.
• Hillsboro Airporter has 24/7 service. It will work with students and their families, putting students together to lower the cost of the fare.

Residence Life is looking for students that exhibit Christian maturity, humility, and leadership skills for our 2018-19 leadership teams. Presently, 66 students serve as Resident Assistants and Assistant Area Coordinators. We are looking for men and women who (a) seek to be stretched and transformed in their leadership roles, (b) value the diversity of our faith community, and (c) desire to invest deeply into the communities flourishing and growth. We would value your suggestions and recommendations for students to be considered for these positions.

We will personally encourage the students you recommend to seek candidacy in our programs. Past and current student leaders have reported that recommendations from peers, staff and faculty are one of the most important reasons they consider these positions. Personal encouragement goes a long way for students, especially for those who struggle to see themselves as qualified for leadership positions.

If you would like to recommend a student, fill out this response form by Monday, Nov. 19. We have moved to an electronic format for recommendations to reduce paper waste and costs.

If you have any questions, contact Dexter Ballard (ballardd@georgefox.edu).

The Office of Spiritual Life (SpiL) offers students annual opportunities to participate in SpiL trips. These domestic and international trips last anywhere from one to four weeks and challenge students to learn from and work alongside great people and model organizations in the context of their culture, community and complexities.

These trips are designed to share the “Be Known” promise beyond our campus as students meet, befriend and serve “Christ in the least of these,” particularly among people experiencing the various and complex realities of under-resourced communities. Our traveling teams do so by immersing in the cultural contexts and perspectives that exist outside of students’ familiar home culture and utilizing service as a means of nurturing Christian community development.

Our teams go with the mindset of being both learners and servants. Our primary goal through these short-term trips is to recognize, learn from, accentuate, encourage and build upon the assets and gifts of our global neighbors, partner organizations, and the neighbors and communities they live amongst and serve long term. We aspire to listen and learn, encourage and serve alongside to help enhance sustainable ministry and Christian community development, with the goal of coming home with a greater understanding of the kingdom and mission of God and our role in it wherever we live.

For more information and to apply, go to georgefox.edu/spiltrips. Applications are due Monday, Nov. 13.

Employee Empowerment orientation for all new employees
Beginning in November, newly hired employees will attend a new hire orientation with the director of employee relations.  When an offer is accepted by a new hire, Employee Empowerment will schedule that employee for the next available orientation within three days of his or her start date. During orientation, employees will complete their new hire employment documents and receive an overview about being an employee at George Fox. Benefits-eligible employees will stay and receive a full benefits orientation as well. To ensure a new employee has a great first impression, other items that supervisors and coworkers will want to prepare for would include providing a new employee training plan, preparing a welcoming work space and scheduling a campus tour.

Changes to hiring process
In order provide better service to our employees and to ensure that we comply with federal and state employment laws, Employee Empowerment is implementing a new and improved hiring process. Work related agreements must be entered into by utilizing the Approval to Recruit process. If hiring managers desire to enter into a work-related agreement with any person (including current employees) without utilizing the Approval to Recruit process, they must first contact Employee Empowerment for guidance and pre-approval to hire. Check requests will no longer be accepted as hiring documentation.  Thank you for your commitment to this critical matter.

We are here to help, so please contact Employee Empowerment with any hiring related questions.
