Interested in taking a class that is completed in just three weeks time? Or try a class online through George Fox this summer? These opportunities can help you lighten your load during the regular school year or “catch up” to maintain pace for graduation. Both May Term and summer online classes offer a great opportunity to complete course credit without the distraction of other classes at the same time. In addition, the tuition for these classes is half the normal per credit rate during fall and spring. There are still many classes with available space. Check out class.georgefox.edu for a list of classes offered each term (choose May Term 2010 or Summer Term 2010).
 Since May Term classes are offered at the discretion of instructors, it is important that you register for May Term by Friday, April 16, so instructors can determine if enough students are enrolled; otherwise, a class may be cancelled due to low enrollment. If you have questions about the applicability of a class to your degree requirements, feel free to contact your enrollment counselor for more information.

The theatre’s spring production of Eurydice opens this week in Wood-Mar Auditorium, with shows scheduled at 7:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, April 8-10. Additional performances are scheduled April 15-17 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, April 18, at 2 p.m.
Written by Sarah Ruhl and directed by Megan Weaver, Eurydice is a fantastical retelling of the myth of Orpheus. The play follows the story of Orpheus’ lover as she falls in love, only to die on her wedding day. A visually dynamic and inventive story, Ruhl’s world features raining elevators, a room made of string, talking stones and letters sent through the earth via worms.
All George Fox University employees receive one complimentary ticket. Students will be admitted free on both Thursdays. Your complimentary ticket is only available at the Box Office in the Bruin Bookstore. Additional tickets are $10 for adults, $8 for alumni and seniors, and $6 for students and children under 12.
