Posters and displays are generally intended to advertise a particular event or raise awareness about the activities of an officially recognized campus club or organization.

Please pay special attention to the following policies:

• Campus displays must be submitted for approval at least two weeks before the display is to be posted.
• Campus displays and posters are not considered “approved” until the final notification is received and display items have received a stamp from the Office of Student Life.
• Clubs and student activity teams must have their posters and displays approved by Kara Holcombe.
• You must take down your fliers when your event is over.
• Post only on bulletin boards, posting kiosks, or sandwich boards. Do not post on walls, windows, or doors. (Exception: Event location signs may be placed on building entrance doors on the day of the event and then removed at the conclusion of the event.)

Find all the details you need in the Student Handbook: Campus Display & Posting Policy section, which can be viewed at this link.

The university’s performing arts department will present The Potting Shed by Graham Greene this fall in Wood-Mar Auditorium. Check out our show times:

Synopsis: When estranged son James returns for his father’s funeral, the Callifer family finds their staunch unbelief turned upside down as secrets from the past disrupt the present. Unearthing lost childhood, James is confronted by the best and worst of his family history, leading him inexorably toward the startling truth. What happened in the potting shed all those years ago? And why has it led the Callifers to reject their youngest son? Is there room for belief in a family of skeptics?

Legendary novelist Graham Greene addresses these questions and more in a taut, engrossing drama, described by the New York Daily News as “an intellectual detective story.”

Students and staff can claim their free ticket by visiting our website at georgefox.edu/box-office. Student tickets are free for Wednesday or Thursday nights; staff tickets are free for any night.
