The Daily Bruin

Looking for a challenging but rewarding summer job? There is nothing quite like serving for a summer at camp.

Today (Wednesday), Black Lake Bible Camp of Olympia, Washington, will be on campus recruiting and talking to people about working at camp for the summer of 2022. We will have a table set up in Canyon Commons from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., when you can come get info, ask questions, and grab a donut.

Then, at 1 p.m. in the Roberts Center (Room 177), we’ll have free pizza while we show a short recruiting video and have a few George Fox students share their own experiences of serving at Black Lake Bible Camp.

We hope you can stop by and say hi to us. Email tdekoning20@georgefox.edu if you have any questions.

Come to the apartments/housing/commuters Christmas worship night from 7 to 8 p.m. tonight (Wednesday)! All are welcome. Let us gather together in a space to rest during the busy end of the semester with a time of worship, shared messages, and prayer.

There will be ornaments for the first 25 people! We will break bread together, and at the very end we’ll write Christmas cards for our friends at Friendsview. We are meeting in the Bauman Greenroom (if you’re not sure where that is, come to the auditorium). Chapel credit is offered.

Looking forward to seeing you there! If you have any questions, email Gracie Carlsen at gcarlsen18@georgefox.edu.

Please note the accelerated payroll deadline in December. Due to Christmas break, we will have fewer days to process the December payroll. Please have all check requests submitted and approved by Friday, Dec. 10. Temporary part-time employee time sheets also should be forecasted and locked and approved by Dec. 10.

Regular employee time sheets and student time sheets can be locked at the end of the month as usual. The student payday will be on Wednesday, Dec. 15, and the regular employee payday will be on Thursday, Dec. 23.
