Every year, around Human Rights Day on Dec. 10, hundreds of thousands of people around the world send a message to someone they’ve never met. Letter writing has always been at the core of Amnesty International’s work, and 53 years of human rights activism show that letters really do have the power to change lives.
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.
Click here for more information on the event. Contact Jennifer Newman at newmanj11@georgefox.edu if you have any questions.
We hope to see you there!
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.
