ASC invites you to a “Prayer for Peace” today (Tuesday) after chapel at noon in the Bauman Greenroom. May our student body and employees come together to stand with the hurting, marginalized and oppressed from every part of the world.
Come join us on today (Monday)Â at 7 p.m. in the Foxhole for a showing of the “The Gospel of John” movie. This showing is based upon the exact text of the Contemporary English Version of the Bible.
This showing is being put on by Paul Anderson’s “Writings on John” Class, and is open to all students. The movie is three hours long, and it will be followed by a 15-20 minute discussion on what people “see” in the film and how it speaks to them personally. Students can receive chapel elective credit from this event.

In support of our Creation Care values, Human Resources will issue 2015 year-end W-2 forms online in “Self Service” for all employees, including student employees. If you do not want HR to print and deliver your W-2, the law requires that you give your consent. If you consented in the past, you do NOT need to do so again.
You can verify your consent status or give consent for the first time by following the steps below. It only takes about 30 seconds, so I encourage you to take care of it as soon as possible – perhaps right now? Here’s how:
You’ll receive a confirmation email of your decision shortly after completing this process. And just to be clear, you will only have to do this once – not every year.
Thanks very much. Let me know if you have any questions.

Mail and print services will be on a reduced schedule during the holiday break. Please take note of the hours below:
Print services will be closed from Thursday, Dec. 24, through Friday, Jan. 1. Please plan accordingly for your printing needs.
Mail services will be open limited hours during the week between Christmas and New Year’s. On Dec. 29 and 30, the hours of operation will be 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. U.S. Mail will be the only service offered for those two days, so if you need to send mail or packages through U.S. Mail, you must have your items to mail services no later than noon.

They will happily take care of your shipping needs.
