Just a reminder, please check your myGFU to make sure that you are on track with your chapel credit. You are responsible to make sure that all of your credits are correct. All chapel credit will be at 11:59 p.m. Friday, December 7.
If you picked up employee comp tickets for Sunday afternoon’s performance of the Christmas Concert and are no longer going to be able to use them, please return them to the Box Office in the Pennington House.
We have a wait list for the performance from the general public, and if the seats will be empty we would like to be able to sell the tickets. Please return the tickets you are not going to use by Friday, Nov. 30. Stop by the Pennington House or call the Box Office at 503-554-3844 if you have questions.
An all-employee meeting is scheduled for this afternoon (Thursday) at 3:30 p.m. in Hoover 105.
For those at the university’s regional sites, the meeting will be available at a stream site that you can access from MyGFU. Simply log into MyGFU and click the “Community Meeting Link†located under “Staff Resources/Faculty Resources.†It is the bottom link in that section. The link will take you to all the information relating to community meetings and include a live-stream link (the password changes each meeting) and a chat room link.
Videos from previously recorded meetings will be added to this page in the days following. Please bookmark the page for quick access each month.
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!

Faculty: In order to buy books from students during finals week (Dec. 10-14), all textbook orders need to be submitted by Monday, Dec. 3. Orders received after that date also run the risk of not arriving in time for classes in January. Your help is appreciated.
Contact Sandy Gidding (sgidding@georgefox.edu) if you have questions.
The listing of textbooks for spring courses will be posted online Monday, Dec. 3, at neebo.com/georgefox. Books begin arriving next week, so keep checking back. An “In Store” designation means we have them in stock at the bookstore.
Newberg students, check your mailbox later this week for a “Textbook FAQ” flier giving more information about buying/selling books and rental returns.
