AROUND CAMPUS
Community Day slated for Aug. 15
All employees are warmly invited to attend Community Day on Tuesday, Aug. 15 from 9-10:30 a.m. in the Calvin and Janet High Center for Worship and Performing Arts. This annual Messiah tradition serves as the ceremonial launch of the new academic year for employees with opportunities for corporate worship and fellowship, as well as President Phipps’ presentation of the State of the University address. Light refreshments and 2023 Community Day t-shirts will be available from 10:30-11:30 a.m. in front of the High Center. All offices and departments (with the exception of Dispatch) will close from 8:45-11:30 a.m. to allow employees to enjoy the Community Day experience. If you have any questions, please contact Karin Bisbee, executive coordinator for the president’s office and board of trustees, at kbisbee@messiah.edu.
Adjunct/work-study computers
As the summer comes to an end, ETS – Technology Support would ask you to power on all work-study and adjunct computers. Since these computers have not been in use during the summer, they will be slower than usual as updates are installed that were sent out during that time. If you turn these PCs on in advance, these updates will install automatically and they should be ready for use when the semester begins. If there are any issues, please contact Technology Support at techsupport@messiah.edu or ext. 4444.
Laying a Prayerful Foundation – Thursday, Aug. 17
Please consider participating in this prayer vigil as we pray for new and returning students, new and returning employees, our Board of Trustees, and our overall campus physical and spiritual well-being.
All are invited to sign up for a 15-minute prayer time between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 17. You may intercede in prayer at any location during your 15-minute slot. There are three openings per time slot and our hope is to have the entire 12-hour vigil covered. Please sign up using this link: https://signup.com/go/LxeDWgh. If you have further questions, please reach out to our employee community pastor, Stephen Gallaher (sgallahe@messiah.edu) or for questions regarding the sign-up, Staci Davis (sdavis@messiah.edu).

Rehearsal will be the Monday prior to the event – Mon., August 14, Noon-1. Location and exact musical piece TBD as of this writing! Please join us!
