You can be a part of this, too. The George Fox chapter of Amnesty International is hosting a Write for Rights event at the Coffee Cottage in Newberg on Monday, Dec. 1, from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Come for the whole time, or just a few minutes and write a letter to change a life.

In support of our Creation Care values, Human Resources will issue 2014 year-end W-2 forms online in “Self Service” for all employees. In order for the university to save the expense of purchasing, printing, stuffing into envelopes and delivering your form by campus mail, the law requires that you give your consent to receiving this form online. 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.

Operation Christmas Child is here! Be a part of blessing a child with a gift this Christmas. The process is simple: 1) Get a shoebox (we have these available in the SpIL annex and by request if you do not have one you can use). 2) Pick whether you will make a shoebox for a girl or a boy. 3) Get things to put in the shoebox. There is a list of suggested items and a list of items you cannot put into the box including perishable food, liquids, etc. For a complete list, visit the Samaritan’s Purse website. Finally, put a rubber band around it, put a sticky note on it identifying what living area you are from, and drop it off in the Bruin Den.
Empty boxes will be available in the Bruin Den this week, and all boxes must be dropped off by 2 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 21. There will be a competition between living areas, and the one that wins will get an ice cream party!
Faculty and community members are welcome to participate!
