IDEA Center survey: Summer jobs and internships

Sunday, April 28th, 2019

Summer is almost here, and we know there’s always exciting things to do and places to go.

We also know that many of you have jobs, internships, or both planned for this summer. We really want to know what those are!

This information is helpful to us for many reasons, but especially because we love to brag about the amazing things our students do outside the classroom. The IDEA Center is even putting together a campaign that will highlight several students and their summer experiences!

On top of that, a $25 Amazon gift card will be given to one lucky survey responder. Click here to fill out our two-minute survey.

Instructions for university printing

Wednesday, April 24th, 2019

As the university prepares to transition its printing needs to an outside source, we have partnered with Allegra Printing in Newberg. They have provided instructions for submitting print jobs; please read carefully.

  • Submit all files and print requests to Shoshannah Smith at smiths@allegranewberg.com.
  • PDF files are required. For graphic posters, we prefer 1-up with .125” bleeds and crop marks. If you’re sending booklets with spreads, please be certain they are in printer spreads, not reader spreads, and have numbered pages.
  • Booklets can be submitted as 1-up single sheets in order and we will make them into booklets.
  • Standard short-run pieces take three to five business days; however, we can at times do next-day return. If you know a project is coming up and call ahead, we can put it on our schedule. We cannot do next-day return on wide format pieces.
  • Please call 503-538-7345 with any questions. Quotes need to be done through email, so if you call in a quote, please leave email contact information.

If you have any further questions, you are welcome to contact Richard Silver at rsilver@georgefox.edu.
