Is there someone at George Fox who has made a difference in your academic career? Someone who ignited a spark to make you want to learn or attend class or who has acted as a role model? Take a moment to write an e-mail, e-card, or traditional “thank you†card to that professor, tutor, administrator, classmate, or other person. Try to be specific as you describe how this person has contributed to your life.
Newberg students can stop by the SUB to write a note; Portland Center students can stop at the Information Desk. Of course, one can make or buy one’s own card.

Hello!
Please make sure that you turn in your signed time sheet to your supervisor after your last shift of the month (Friday is the 30th). If you forget to turn in your time sheet on time, you may not get paid on payday. Payday is Friday, Dec. 14, which also happens to be the last day of finals.
If you will be leaving campus before the 14th, and you will need your pay before you return in January, (which I bet you do!) I suggest that you sign up for Direct Deposit. If you choose to sign up for Direct Deposit, the form needs to be to HR by Friday, Dec. 7.
Thank you and have a wonderful Christmas break!
