The performing arts department is working on assessing and improving the accessibility of Bauman Auditorium, Wood-Mar Auditorium and the amphitheater, as well as the overall viewing experience of performances.
To find the most beneficial adjustments, we have created this brief survey that asks about the current accessibility and possible things to add in the future.
If you would like to participate in our research or have any ideas or questions, please take a few minutes to take the survey and provide your feedback. Or, you may email our accessibility coordinator, Atalia Fisher, at afisher23@georgefox.edu.

Lewis, deepening your understanding of Christian love and forging new friendships at this unforgettable “Seminar by the Sea.” George Fox employees can receive a 10% discount for registration using the code GFU_Staff_24.
