Phase II viewing is today in Macy basement

May 3rd, 2018

Plant Services is hosting its annual Phase II event this week. At the end of every school year many students have good reusable items that they do not want to take home over the summer. These items often include blankets, clothing, kitchen supplies, small appliances, radios, room decorations, furniture, etc.

Items are open for viewing in the Macy basement today (Friday) from 8 a.m. to noon. After students and staff view these items, the remaining items will be donated to other local charities.

In an effort to keep the dumpsters from overflowing and to be better stewards of our resources, Phase II was initiated. Many students have benefited from these items. For example, summer work-study students often find items they need for apartment living.

Questions? Contact Dwayne Astleford (dastlefo@georgefox.edu).

Email Usage for Student Employees

April 29th, 2018

As we gear up for the summer employment season, Institutional Technology wants to ensure that you have the tools in place to allow your student employees to work as effectively as possible. Because many positions work with FERPA-protected and other sensitive data, it is not appropriate to have students use their George Fox-issued student email address.

There are several options available to departments to accomplish this. If your department needs assistance setting up an email for students to use, please email servicedesk@georgefox.edu with the department that needs the account and how it will be used.
