Please take a moment to share the gift of words with our employees who are celebrating a “years of service” milestone. Feel free to thank them or share a favorite memory by adding a comment under their name on this form.

We’ll share your gift of words on cards, and present them at the all-community meeting on Monday, Aug. 19.

Please reach out to Kara Holcombe (kholcombe@georgefox.edu or ext. 2189) if you have any questions regarding the honorees.

Help out in recognizing coworkers who are celebrating milestone anniversaries at this year’s all-community meeting, scheduled for Monday, Aug. 19.  

We in HR are looking for volunteers to help us with the presentation at the meeting. Each volunteer will speak for two to three minutes and honor a group celebrating a milestone by reminiscing about the year they were hired (don’t worry, we will help you out with content).

If you are able to help, please contact Nichole Drew at ndrew@georgefox.edu to volunteer. 

Make plans to join your colleagues at the all-community meeting, scheduled from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 19, in Canyon Commons.

The day will begin with a continental breakfast at 8:30 a.m., and lunch will be provided midway through the meeting. The event will include a worship and devotional time, updates from President Robin Baker, and employee service award recognition.

On Wednesday, Student Accounts mailed a bill to each student with a balance due. This new statement has a very different look and feel.

Change can be hard, even when it is positive change, so to assist with questions that may arise we have a web page designed to answer anticipated questions. If you would like to see what the new bill looks like or if you are helping someone with their bill, go to sa.georgefox.edu and choose “FAQ,” or you can search the George Fox website for “Student Accounts FAQ.” 

Need an updated photo for the university website? Do you currently have the Bruin bear as your faculty/staff pic? The marketing communications team will be outside of Canyon Commons after the all-community meeting on Monday, Aug. 19, between 3 and 4 p.m.

No appointment is necessary. Just drop by and have your photo taken; the marketing communications team will take care of the rest!

In following up from the all-employee meeting on July 25, we want to remind you that George Fox is changing its single sign-on process today, Aug. 7.

All current systems using single sign-on (ie. Library services, StarRez, Handshake, Slate, etc.) will be directed to a new login page. On Aug. 16, we will also add Gmail and FoxTALE.

Please note: The first time you log in you will be asked to enter a secondary email as well as choose security questions and an image. This is to confirm your account going forward; after entering this information in once, you will not need to do it again.

Questions? Contact the Service Desk at servicedesk@georgefox.edu.
