Did you notice the 560,000 pounds of garbage going to the landfill every year from the George Fox Newberg campus? Interested in how 100,000 pounds of that garbage could be composted right here on campus?
Plant Services is exploring the possibility of enacting a campus-wide composting program and needs five to six on-campus houses or apartments to participate in a two-week compostable food waste audit. If you think you can help, contact Evan Watson at ewatson@georgefox.edu or 971-237-0789 for details.
Don’t forget to support George Fox theatre students by purchasing an oil change card for Doran Automotive in Newberg. Funds raised will help send students to the Region VII Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival in Fort Collins, Colo., in February.

To learn more or to purchase a card, contact Hannah Irish at hirish@georgefox.edu or 253-332-1963.

W-2s were made available in campus boxes on Friday, Jan. 27 (except for those who normally receive their pay statements at their home addresses, including adjunct faculty and temporary employees). Student W-2s will be in their boxes by early next week, and they will receive a separate e-nnouncement to that effect.
Most of the information on these forms is easy to understand or explained in the teeny, tiny fine print on the reverse, but we thought it would be helpful to provide a little extra information about the items and amounts in the various boxes on the W-2. Please go here to find this information that will likely be useful when you or your tax preparer files your tax return.
Thank you,
– HR
