It's nearly time for EBSCO's annual Adopt-A-Mile kickoff picnic and clean-up event. We need your help to bring it to a new level of success! Help EBSCO care for the mile-long stretch of Hwy. 280 adjacent to the main campus and the mile-long stretch of Hwy. 41 that runs alongside Mt Laurel. Each month, employees from a different department meet to pick up trash and keep the community clean and green.

Today is the last day to participate in the Mixed Paper Recycling Challenge. If your department has a large amount of paper ready for pickup, please call Johnny Williams in Administrative Services to have it picked up at the end of the day. If you have a large amount of recyclables that will not fit in the designated box in your area, please drop off your recyclables at the warehouse between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.

March Green Focus  ih_icon  

 

Your outdated suits may be just a waste of space for you, but your professional and business casual clothing can help Birmingham men and women build a brighter future for themselves and their families. Bring wearable professional and business casual attire to Corporate Communications in March for donation to the YWCA's My Sister's Closet program and the CCC.

Application Deadline for EBSCO's College Scholarship Program is Monday

Monday is the last day EBSCO will accept applications for the College Scholarship Program. Employees who have been employed full-time for two or more years at the time of application may submit the names of their dependent children for these scholarships (married children are not eligible). Children of retired and deceased employees also are eligible. The scholarship is for undergraduate studies only; graduate students are not eligible.

Be Cautious of the Canada Geese

For several years now, a pair of Canada Geese have been calling EBSCO their home during the winter/spring months. During their time here, they usually nest near the side entrance of the West building, across the pond from the main entrance to the building. (This is the entrance closest to Accounting, Administration, EIS-Division, etc.). As many employees enter and exit through this location, please be aware of the geese as they can become aggressive during the nesting period which is soon approaching. If you come in contact with the geese, please keep your distance and be respectful of their nesting area.
