Would you please take a few minutes to submit your February time sheet (support staff) or time-off report (administrators) to your supervisor right away? As always, please be sure it is complete (including your ID number), accurate and signed by both you and your supervisor before sending it to HR at Box 6108. (If your supervisor is not available to sign it, please send a copy to HR and keep the original until it has been signed.)
Click this link for staff time sheets and download this page for administrator time-off reports.
A tip to help you remember to do this each month: Set a recurring appointment on your Outlook or Google calendar for the first business day of each month with a brief notation: “Turn in time sheet.” That gives you one less thing to have to remember.
A word about the late campus opening of Feb. 24: If you were scheduled to work, record the hours that you would have worked had the campus opened as usual. This includes temporary employees and student employees. If you were not able to get to campus by 10 a.m. or at all, you should use vacation for the time you missed after 10 a.m.
If you were on vacation or took a sick day on Feb. 24, you should record the full day off as vacation or sick leave.

Mark McMinn (PsyD) will present a faculty lecture, “Toward a Healthy View of Food,” at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 1, in Hoover 105.
Mark’s presentation will encourage a new conversation about food – one that emphasizes health and celebration. According to Mark, “Today’s positive psychology movement, the material nature of Christianity, and contemporary social movements emphasizing local, just, sustainable food production all converge to make conversations about food replete with hope.”

Due to the weather situation, there have been a number of changes to the Bruin sports schedules for the rest of the weekend. Here is the schedule as of 10:45 a.m. Thursday morning:
Thursday, Feb. 24, 7 p.m. – Women’s basketball vs. Puget Sound, Wheeler Sports Center/Miller Gym (NWC Tournament)
Friday, Feb. 25, noon – Women’s tennis vs. Pacific Lutheran, Tualatin Hills Tennis Center, Beaverton, Ore.

Saturday, Feb. 26, 7 p.m. – Women’s basketball vs. TBA (tentative)
Friday’s women’s tennis match was originally scheduled for 3:30 at the GFU campus courts but has been moved. The women’s tennis team was also supposed to host Linfield on Saturday, but the Linfield series has been swapped; the Bruins will go to Linfield this Saturday (since they have indoor courts), and the Wildcats will now come to George Fox on March 26.
If the women’s basketball team wins its Thursday game in the NWC Tournament, the location of Saturday’s championship game will be determined by the other semifinal game, Whitman at Lewis & Clark. If Whitman wins, George Fox will host on Saturday; if Lewis & Clark wins, the Saturday game will be in Portland.
George Fox’s baseball games this weekend (three games against various opponents at the University of Portland) and the softball games at PLU and UPS are still pending.
