The Daily Bruin

Plant Services is hosting its annual Phase II event this week. At the end of every school year, many students leave behind good usable items for those who need them. These items often include blankets, clothing, kitchen supplies, small appliances, radios, room decorations, little tables, etc.

In an effort to keep the dumpsters from overflowing and to be better stewards of our resources, Phase II was initiated. Many students have benefited from these free items. For example, summer work-study students often find items they need for apartment living.

Items will be open for viewing in the Macy and Sutton basements starting today (Tuesday) through Thursday, May 9, between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., and on Friday, May 9, from 8 a.m. to noon.

After students and staff view these items, what remains will be donated to local charities.

Questions? Contact Debby O’Kelley at dokelley@georgefox.edu.

Do you anticipate receiving a service award for five, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, or 40 years during our employee recognition event in August?

If your name does not appear but you believe you should receive an award, or if your name is on the list and you don’t think you should receive an award this year, please contact Peggy Kilburg by email and include any information you think may be helpful. (If you are a rehire, your previous benefits-eligible experience at George Fox counts toward your service award.)

Your help is most appreciated to ensure that the right employees are honored at this event. Please note: Only service at half time or above is used in determining your years of service.

Use your new, empty 2014 Summer sites as the sites in which you will teach. You may import content from another course site. See the instructions here for importing. Here are some end-of-semester reminders:

• 2014 Summer sites are currently hidden from students. When you are ready, you can share the sites with your students. Here is a quick guide on how to make the courses available: FoxTALE Making Courses Visible to Students

• If you used the FoxTALE grade book for any of your FoxTALE course sites, we recommend that you back up your 2014 Spring grade book to a spreadsheet that is saved outside of FoxTALE. See the instructions here for backing up grades. You will want to keep an archive of your course grades that cover the last five years.

• If your course site is set to Weekly format, your course might show incorrect dates. To change the dates, go to Administration> Edit settings on the course home page. Scroll down to the course start date and change it to the first day of your summer course. Scroll to the bottom of the page and “Save changes.”
