Following is a day-by-day rundown of the Portland Center’s library hours over the Christmas break. Please use this calendar as a guideline for the Portland Center’s library schedule. The announcement posted in the Dec. 19 Daily Bruin pertained to the Newberg campus.

During the Christmas break the buildings on the Newberg and Portland campuses will be supplied with minimal or no heat in order to preserve energy and money. Uninhabited dorms will be shut down all of the break, as will administrative buildings on Tuesday, Dec. 24, through Sunday, Dec. 29, and on Wednesday, Jan 1.
If we have a spell of freezing weather, heat will be kept at the minimum temperature to prevent problems. Thank you as we attempt to be good stewards of our resources.

We’ll also have “Holiday Rice” (and gluten-free Chex), “Krispy Squares” (green and red M&M’s mixed in), cranberry and lime punch, and ice water.

‘Tis the season to ship packages, and we have some tips to help ensure that your package arrives safely.
1. Do not wrap the box in brown paper, grocery bags, wrapping paper, etc. (Too many times, the paper is ripped off in the handling and shipping process – and the address and postage are gone!)
2. Use blue or black ink for the address. Do not use red ink. Red is hard to read by the U.S. Mail scanners.
If you have questions, please email Linda Sartwell lsartwel@georgefox.edu.
Textbook Buyback is happening all this week at the Textbook Annex located at 1109 E. Hancock St., in Newberg. Remember to visit gfubookstore.com to get a price quote before you come in to get an additional 10 percent back for your books.
We are still in need of many willing servants to serve as ushers at the December commencement ceremony on Saturday, Dec. 21, in Miller Gymnasium. Hand out programs, direct graduates’ families and friends to their seats, and help make graduation a special event for all involved. All university employees who participate as ushers will be paid $25 per ceremony through payroll. The hours of commitment would be from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Please let Jennifer Kepler (jkepler@georgefox.edu) know ASAP if this is something you would like to be a part of. It’s a great opportunity to see that special student graduate, volunteer in a much-needed area of service, and be a part of a special event.
Thank you for considering being involved!
If you are on the Newberg campus today (Tuesday), please join your colleagues for the all-employee Christmas lunch in the Cap and Gown Room. Lunch will be available from 11:30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. in order to accommodate various work schedules.
Merry Christmas!
The city of Tigard has requested the input of George Fox University.
The Tigard Triangle Strategic Plan is an effort by the city of Tigard to transform the Triangle into an area with a mix of uses that could include housing, employment and shopping, along with outdoor spaces, safe and convenient places to walk and bike, and improved transit.
By taking this survey, you will help to set the priorities in the area and to refine the evaluation criteria that will be used to assess several alternative plans that are currently being developed.
