Join us this Friday, March 7, at 7:30 p.m. in Wood-Mar Auditorium. Admission is free!

This year, the University Players explore stories of traveling down Highway 18 — who we are, where we go, and what we encounter along the way. Interwoven with music and masks, they tell stories from their own lives on their journeys toward identity.

Their stories are told in three acts.

Life. Death. Resurrection. Buckle up. It’s quite a ride.

This local food pantry has been proudly supporting the Newberg area for more than 40 years! Most of their food supplies come from local businesses, churches, schools and ordinary people. We are asking both students and staff members for packaged and preserved food donations such as canned foods, rice, beans, etc.
