Please submit your nomination by Friday, June 18, via e-mail to Peggy Kilburg. The President’s Executive Leadership Team will then select the recipient from the nominations submitted. Both the May and June winners will be announced at the community meeting on Wednesday, June 23, and each will receive a $100 gift card to The Allison.

The last two sessions of Career Services’ May Daze job search series are scheduled Tuesday, May 25, and Thursday, May 27, at 4 p.m. in the Career Center, Stevens 220.

The ethical implications of consumer behavior will be the topic of a School of Business speaker series event Friday, June 11, at The Grand Hotel at Bridgeport, located off Interstate-5 at the Durham Exit in Tualatin.

Justine Haigh, an associate professor of marketing at George Fox, will present “Beyond corporate social responsibility: What about the consumer?” The session will run from 7 to 9 a.m. and include a continental breakfast at a cost of $20 per person. Registration information is available on the School of Business website. Attendees are asked to R.S.V.P. by Friday, June 4.

Following is Haigh’s synopsis of the event: “We seem to enjoy finger pointing, blogging, and tweeting about unruly organizations and their failure to adhere to the law, ethical standards, and/or international norms. Caught up in these debates, however, we seldom reflect on our own consumption patterns. We will explore ethical principles of global consumers, but more importantly, local Portlanders’ perspectives will be considered in an attempt to gauge our commitment to the social good.”

A boys basketball mini-camp is scheduled in Miller Gymnasium Monday through Thursday, May 24-27, between 5 and 7 p.m. Camp is for grades 2-5 and the cost is $60 (or, for those in the George Fox family, $60 for two participants). The fee includes a T-shirt and eight hours of instruction.
