The first step of this process is registering your group, which will be randomly selected for a spot in Tent City. This spot will determine the order in which you can sign up for the Junior’s Abroad Trip of your choice. Essentially, the lower your group’s number, the better chance you have of getting your top pick. You can only have 3-5 individuals in the group and each member can only be in one group.

George Fox, ranked No. 2 in the USA Today/ESPN/Women’s Basketball Coaches Association poll and No. 3 in the D3hoops.com poll, is one of two remaining undefeated teams in D-III women’s basketball. The Bruins will be making their third straight appearance in the national tournament, fourth in five years, and sixth in 10 seasons of NCAA eligibility. They have a 7-5 record in NCAA postseason play, reaching the “Sweet 16” in 2000, 2005, and 2008, and the “Elite 8” in 2005.

The Bruins earned the Northwest Conference’s automatic bid to the playoffs by winning the conference tournament with victories over Whitman College and the University of Puget Sound.

The university’s theatre department invites the community to its spring production, The Triumph of Love, March 5-7 and March 12-15 in Wood-Mar Auditorium. Performances take place at 7:30 p.m. March 5-7 and 12-14 and at 2 p.m. on March 15.

The play, directed by Rhett Luedtke (Performing Arts), is an 18th-century romantic comedy filled with all the confusions and complexities of love. Princess Leonide’s world turns upside down when she falls in love with a young man who can rightfully usurp her kingdom. Unfortunately, her love interest is being tutored by an over-rational philosopher who hates love and has taught the young man to hate women. So Leonide and her maid, Corine, dress up as men, invade the philosopher’s estate and try to prove to the men that love conquers all.

Employees receive one complimentary ticket, available for pick-up at the University Store. Students are welcome to see the show free of charge on Thursday, March 5, and Thursday, March 12, and may pick up those tickets at the University Store. The cost is $10 for general admission, $8 for seniors and alumni, and $6 for students and children under 12. To purchase tickets or find out more, visit theatre.georgefox.edu.
