Colleagues and former students of Richard are invited to send thoughts, wishes, stories and memories of him to Valerie Rogers (vrogers@georgefox.edu) so they may be included in the book.

Submissions are due by Friday, April 2. A retirement reception for Richard is scheduled later in the month (details to be announced).

Students in the servant engineering program are conducting a poll to determine car usage on campus. Please take a few minutes to complete a simple poll.

The reasoning behind the poll is to find out if there is enough need among students to validate setting up an account with ZipCar, a company that offers electric cars for renting. The idea is to help limit the number of cars on campus, cut down on people needing to pay car insurance, and allow those who don’t have cars the ability to get around just as easily as those who do.

Here is the link to the poll:
