The music department offers classes in learning how to play the piano! If this is something you’ve wanted to do but didn’t have the time, consider enrolling in MUSI 135 section A or B.
Section A is for beginners (no previous experience necessary); section B is for students who may have taken lessons but it’s been some time ago and you’d like to brush up. These two sections are meant for non-music majors.
The class is offered at one credit (good for an elective, too). There are still a few openings in both sections, so enroll today!
Questions? Contact Kenn Willson at kwillson@georgefox.edu.

Great news, commuters! The commuter-only lot on 99W is now open for your use! Even better, it is only two blocks from the quad and the Stevens Center, and is much closer than the Le Shana lot. For your safety, please cross 99W only in a marked crosswalk either at Meridian Street or River Street.
There is only one entry point, and it is on the northeast corner of the lot. If coming from Dundee, you will need to turn left from 99W right before the giant flagpole and then make a quick left turn into the lot. For those coming from Sherwood, as soon as you pass the flagpole where the road splits, watch for the left-hand turn into the lot.
The university pastors will be hosting a service of remembrance honoring Daniel Mellers, beloved friend and classmate who died on April 23, 2017. The service will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 5, at 4 p.m. in Canyon Commons 101. All are welcome.
