Last week, all employees received an e-mail from Missy Terry (President’s Office) with important information regarding the upcoming Presidential Inauguration, March 6-7. This e-mail contained a schedule of events, class cancellation specifics, office closure information, and procedures for the academic processional occurring at the installation ceremony.

As a reminder, we ask that all employees register for the events that they plan to attend by this Friday, Feb. 29. The registration form is available at georgefox.edu/inauguration/registration-form3.html.

We hope that you will choose to take part in this historic celebration. The entire series of events has been crafted to highlight the entire university and what makes this such a special place.

To clarify one item from the e-mail, faculty should register for the installation ceremony (even though their involvement is expected) so that the proper number of chairs can be reserved in Bauman Auditorium.

The full schedule of events is available at georgefox.edu/inauguration.

If you would like another copy of Missy’s e-mail sent to you, please e-mail Robby Larson, inauguration co-chair, at rlarson@georgefox.edu.
