The university’s theatre department invites the community to the show Living Out, playing at the Chehalem Cultural Center’s Black Box Theater (415 E. Sheridan St.) on Friday and Saturday, April 20-21, at 7:30 p.m. both evenings.

Living Out tells the story of a Salvadoran nanny and the Anglo lawyer she works for. The play explores what is the shared humanity between them and the differences wrought by race, class and Ana’s immigration status. The play also looks at the prejudices and misconceptions between Anglos and Latinos. How do we make someone “the other”? What is the cost of doing so? The play is both outrageously funny and ultimately tragic.

Tickets are “pay what you want” at the door (no reservations). Contact JeanneAnn Faris (jfaris15@georgefox.edu) for more information.

After 40 years of service to George Fox, Clyde Thomas, the director of Plant Services, will be retiring in June. However, we didn’t want him to leave without giving people a chance to celebrate his accomplishments.

A time of honoring his service to the campus will follow the all-employee meeting on Thursday, April 19, at 4:30 p.m. in Canyon Commons. Don’t miss this special time as we say “thank you” to Clyde.

Here is the policy for leaving cars on campus during Juniors Abroad and summer serve trips:

1. Due to construction all summer long around campus, it is recommended to leave your car off-campus with a friend who can drive it and watch it, as George Fox is not responsible for any theft or damage to your vehicle while left unattended on campus.
2. Cars must be left in one of two places only: the side of the Le Shana lot closest to Wheeler and the North Street parking lot in between Brandt Hall and Canyon Commons.
3. The key must be left with Security Services before departure.
4. Security has a form to be signed, and name and number of emergency contact is needed on the form in addition to your license plate number, make and model of vehicle, and where it was parked.
5. Upon return from the trip, call security at 503-554-2090 to arrange a time with the officer on duty to pick up your key if it is after office hours. Bring photo ID to claim your key.
6. Any vehicle left on campus without the key being left with security is subject to tow at your expense due to Plant Services/construction activity all around campus during the summer.
7. Do not abandon your car on city streets, as the city of Newberg will tow it as an “abandoned vehicle” after 72 hours.
8. Enjoy your time abroad!
