The Daily Bruin

A group of doctor of physical therapy students is conducting a research study that looks at how the nervous system controls asymmetry while deadlifting. We are currently seeking participants for it.

During the study, scheduled in the Medical Sciences Building (448 Werth Blvd.) between 2:40 and 5:30 p.m. this Wednesday, April 13, you’ll just need to complete 10 deadlifts. We won’t take up more than 30 minutes of your time!

This is a great experience to get into and explore the university’s new biomechanics lab as well as understand a little bit about what research in the PT field looks like.

If interested in participating, please enter your name on this Google Sheet. If you have any questions, or are interested in participating on another day, please contact Cassie Allen at allenc20@georgefox.edu.

George Fox University Theatre welcomes the university community to its production of The Hijabis. Performances in Wood-Mar Auditorium are scheduled as follows:

• Friday, April 8, at 7:30 p.m.
• Saturday and Sunday, April 9-10, at 2 p.m.

Synopsis
Maya, Nadia and Leen, three best friends from college, are now living their mid-20s dreams in suburban Chicago. Leen is a fashion designer who owns a fashion boutique. Maya works as an office assistant in a dental office, and Nadia is a teacher at a local Montessori school.

Life after college isn’t what any of the women expected, but what unites them in their struggles is their love for ice cream, their penchant for laughter, and their commitment to wearing their hijabs as a reflection of their faithfulness to God. Unfortunately, their lives are upended when their mosque is desecrated by locals from the community. Their responses to this event change the course of their lives.

Special Ticket Options for Students, Faculty and Staff
Students may acquire free tickets for our 2 p.m. Saturday, April 9, performance in Wood-Mar Auditorium.
