Please plan now for the institution-wide stationery order taken at the end of August. The collective order helps keep costs low – the higher the volume, the lower the cost. Consequently, it is most economical to overestimate needs and store a small surplus.

I will be accepting orders from now through Monday, Aug. 18, when orders are due.

For order instructions, go to the marketing communications website. Continue to purchase all non-departmental stationery (including “second-sheet letterhead”) through the university’s print services.

Please contact me if you have any questions.

Thank you,
Danette Newkirk (dnewkirk@georgefox.edu)

Please join us as we say farewell to longtime George Fox employee Eilene Newman on Wednesday, April 23, between 2 and 3:30 p.m. in Portland Center’s Room 155. Refreshments will be served.

Eilene has worked at the university for 22 years. She started at Tilikum Retreat Center as an administrative assistant in 1992. She went to work for ADP from 1994 to 2008, first on the Newberg campus in the basement of Minthorn Hall, until ADP moved in 2000 to the Portland Center.

Since 2008, Eilene has worked in the library at the Portland Center. She was a work-study student at the Newberg campus library, so it is fitting that she ends her work at the university in one of her favorite places.

This Thursday, April 17, Shalom will host a “Colored White” panel. Students Jeannot Djanga, Hope Kenyon, Drew Miller, Carly Ewing and Area Coordinator Jonathan Morell will be answering questions about white privilege, white guilt, and how to develop positive white identities.

If you have questions that you would like to discuss during the panel, email Inclusion and Student Leadership Programs at islp@georgefox.edu by Wednesday at midnight.

We will begin at 9 p.m. in the Cap and Gown Room. Chapel Elective Credit is available for this event.
