We have an exciting opportunity for you! LEAP Marketplace is a Senior Business Capstone start-up, and we are offering you an opportunity to make at least $15 an hour if you lend us your educational talents.
LEAP stands for Lessons, Educational Help, Advising and Preparatory. LEAP Marketplace will be a place where students K-12 can receive educational support for almost any subject from students at a local university or college. Right now we are recruiting qualified students to come on board as independent tutors.
The schedules for our tutors are dependent on their schedules and what the customer requests, so it’s very flexible! We are mainly looking for George Fox students who are science, English, math, history, or any of the core subject majors.
Also, we are looking for any music major, or anybody comfortable teaching an instrument they know really well to hop on board with us to be a music lesson instructor. Payment for this varies based on what you request.
However, we are considering bringing on board people with majors that are in less of a demand, which some people may eventually request help for (i.e. psychology, art, engineering).
If you would like to learn more about this opportunity and receive an application, please e-mail leaphumanresources@gmail.com. We look forward to hearing from you!
We will be running a test of the GFU Emergency Notification System (FoxAlert) in the near future, and in order to be notified, your cell phone number needs to be current on MyGFU. Please go to this link to update your emergency contact information and to sign up for FoxAlert.

A new version of Google bar is coming – something we announced was coming a few weeks ago in our TechTips group. The change occurred immediately for public Google accounts, and now Google has announced it’s ready for Google Apps.
They are removing the black navigation bar at the top of the screen that lets you quickly get to other Google products such as Drive, Calendar, Groups, etc., and replacing it with a small white grid in the upper right corner that gives you a listing of the different apps.
Google’s announcement (released on 10/30/2013) …
We are rolling out a new version of the Google bar for Google Apps users. This is designed to be simpler and more consistent with Android and Chrome OS. It includes notifications, a Google+ share box (if Google+ is enabled), and a new App Launcher with links to other Google products.
To see what it looks like, check out the TechTip posting we sent out.

In his lecture, Dr. Schmitt will highlight recent discoveries from his laboratory.
