Commencement isn't possible without a great event staff team! Over 50 individuals are needed to greet guests, assist with student line-up, drive a golf cart, and countless other ways at both the morning (approx. 7-11 a.m.) and afternoon (approx. 11:30-3:30 p.m.) ceremonies on Saturday, May 17. Sign up to work a four- or eight-hour shift and earn floating holiday hours (salary/exempt employees only) or hourly staff are paid for hours worked but please make arrangements with your supervisor first. Also, enjoy snacks, beverages, and pizza in the event staff lounge.

Staff members, this is the time of year when you can self-nominate or nominate a colleague to serve on a university standing committee and Staff Senate. Consider getting involved in ½ðɳÓéÀÖ’s shared governance as a staff representative on either the Diversity, Finance, or Honors & Awards Committees or as a Staff Senator. The deadline to nominate yourself or a colleague for the Staff Senate is tomorrow, Friday, March 14.

½ðɳÓéÀÖ University staff are invited to join their staff colleagues at the 2025 Boxer Field Day, formerly known as the All-Staff Conference, on Tuesday, June 3 on the Forest Grove Campus. The Staff Senate truly appreciates all that you invest in our students and we want to take this day to thank you for your service, intentionality, and care. More to come in the spring with registration and schedule information.

The Staff Senate Welcome Committee is recruiting employee volunteers for the Boxer Buddy program. Any employee who has worked at the university for at least a year is eligible to serve. The Welcome Committee has identified a specific need for bilingual Boxer Buddy volunteers to help welcome new employees whose primary language is Spanish.

The Boxer Alerts System sends emails and text messages when there's any kind of emergency on our campuses, or an unplanned campus closure (e.g. inclement weather).
