The Career Services Office of George Fox University with help from the Graduate Department of Clinical Psychology is conducting a research study on the college to career transition for women graduating from college and moving into the workplace. We hope to use the results to better serve our graduating women in the future as they face this transition and would like to specifically offer you follow-up consultations if desired.
 The study will involve two survey measures that will take about 30 minutes total to complete, in addition to travel time to and from the Career Services office. To compensate for your time, the first 30 students to respond will be given a $5.00 Starbucks Gift Certificate.  If you are interested in participating in this study, or would like additional information, please contact Chloe Lee at leec07@georgefox.edu or at 503-839-7765.

As most everyone knows, when classes started up this semester we began monitoring the uneaten food being returned to our dishroom after each meal. Our reasons for monitoring our waste is based upon the fact that energy used to produce food that is wasted in the U.S. (3 percent of total U.S. energy) roughly equals the total carbon footprint of Bangladesh, a country of 150 million people.
Using the week of Jan. 18 as our baseline, we averaged 6.14 ounces of waste per meal served. With the week of Feb. 20 just completed, the average waste generated has dropped down to 3.94 ounces per meal served, a reduction of 36 percent.
Great job to everyone! Let’s keep it up, as every reduction means less waste going to our landfills.

In our continuing efforts to be good stewards of the resources we manage, starting Feb 1 we entered into an agreement with Standard Biodiesel, which has started picking up our used fryer oils and recycling them into 100 percent renewable biodiesel.
Unlike most waste oil recyclers that transport used cooking oil overseas and make it into animal feed and cosmetics, we’re now going to be converting our waste cooking oils into a source of renewable energy.
We’ve also started supplying some of our used fryer oil again to Brian McLaughlin (IT) who, for the past several years, has been operating his vehicle with filtered used fryer oils from restaurants throughout the area.
If you have any questions, please give me a call.
Denny Lawrence,
