The safety and well-being of all of our employees is of the highest importance, and we would like to take an opportunity to remind everyone what to do if they sustain an illness or injury at work.
Please report any work-related accident/injury, no matter how slight, to your supervisor right away, so we can provide timely assistance, care, and benefits as appropriate for the situation.
Supervisors, it is a requirement that you contact HR immediately to report workplace illness or injury and receive assistance with next steps.
To find out more about the appropriate steps in case there is an accident at work or on campus, please review our Work Injury Protocol. George Fox is concerned about your health and recovery should you experience an on-the-job injury or illness.
Employees are invited to join President Robin Baker for a live Zoom all-employee meeting from 3:30 to 5 p.m. this afternoon (Wednesday). The event will also be recorded.
As part of the agenda, President Baker will discuss decisions that were made at the March 12 George Fox Board of Trustees meeting. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions through a moderator at the end of the presentation. Feel free to join the meeting at this link.

Ken Starr, former solicitor general of the United States, federal court of appeals judge, and president of Baylor University, will speak in the university’s Bauman Auditorium this Monday, March 29, at 6:30 p.m.
His lecture, “The Prophetic Call to Justice: Safeguarding Our Fundamental Rights,â€Â draws from his new book on religious liberty. Starr, who has argued 36 cases before the United States Supreme Court, is one of the most prominent attorneys in America.
On Tuesday, March 30, Starr will meet informally at 11 a.m. with students interested in attending law school (location TBA). If you have questions about either event, please contact Mark David Hall at mhall@georgefox.edu.Â
We regret that, because of COVID restrictions, the general public is not invited to either event. This lecture is sponsored by the John Dickinson Forum and made possible by a generous grant from the Jack Miller Center and the Murdock Trust.
Please plan to join us in a candid conversation with President Robin Baker and Provost Andrea Scott. Hear their thoughts about Antipas Harris’ book, Is Christianity the White Man’s Religion? How the Bible is Good News for People of Color.
This is your last chance to join a discussion about the book and ask questions! We’ll meet today (Tuesday) from 3 to 4:30 p.m. via Zoom and in Roberts 117 (limited capacity).Â
If the recent disasters that have impacted our state have taught us anything, it’s that being prepared can make a big difference. This is a good time to make sure your emergency alert notifications are turned on for both your cell phone and email
Fox Alert: The Fox Alert system broadcasts messages to the email addresses and mobile phone numbers that students, faculty and staff have provided. It is important that the information is accurate and up to date. Students, faculty and staff can change or update their contact information by logging into the portal at my.georgefox.edu and following the instructions.
ShakeAlert (Earthquake Early Warning): In addition to Fox Alert, ShakeAlert launched earlier this month in Oregon after years of development. Oregon ShakeAlert technology can give you precious seconds, or even more than a full minute of notice, before the shaking of an ongoing earthquake reaches you. To learn more, click here.
