This year, University Recreation is assessing our intramural sports program, and we’re looking to hear from you! Whether or not you play already, your input matters to us.

Your feedback on the fitness center was invaluable to us last year and resulted in the purchase of a multi-station cable machine and development of the exercise coaching program, among other things. We’re looking forward to hearing from you how we can continue to improve your experience with intramural sports!

Take the survey here. Everyone who takes it by Thursday, April 20, will receive a $5 Rental Center voucher and will be entered in a raffle to win a $50 Amazon gift card.

We are privileged to welcome guitarist Doyle Dykes in concert at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 22, in Wood-Mar Auditorium. The event is free and open to the public.

Dykes is arguably the most gifted fingerstyle guitarist alive today, and he has dedicated himself and his gift to the Lord wholeheartedly. When he plays, he blends Scripture and inspirational stories into his music that are fully engaging to the listener. You can catch him on his Sunday String-Along program on YouTube.

Doyle is a godly treasure, both as a person and as a musician, and you won’t want to miss this rare opportunity to spend an evening with him.

In addition to his Saturday night performance, Dykes will be hosting a guitar clinic that afternoon from 1 to 3 p.m. in Ross 208. To reserve a spot, contact Emma Rieth at erieth@georgefox.edu.
