Heads up Olivet University Students: Free Live Webcast of Exponential 2013 with Rick Warren, Francis Chan, Craig Groeschel, and More

The Exponential 2013: DiscipleShift has announced to offer free high-quality live webcast, allowing those who are not able to attend the conference in Orlando, Fla. during April 22-25 to join the big-name speakers including Rick Warren, Francis Chan, and Craig Groeshcel completely online.

This conference on discipleship will focus on five key “shifts” for the church to make and release disciples, which are reaching to making, teaching to modeling, attending to participating, connecting to transforming, and attracting to deploying.

According to its website, the conference in Orland is already sold out with 5,000 registered to attend. While they are still taking names in the waiting list, an alternative solution is to attend what they call the “next best thing to being on-site at Exponential”.

“Jesus gave the Great Commission to everyone,” says Exponential Director Geoff Surratt in a statement on March 20. “These early registration numbers indicate that churches see this webcast as an important equipping tool to challenge and inspire everyone in the church.”

The statement also added that they believe more than 30,000 viewers around the world could be reached through webcast.

Jubilee College of Music Expands Non-Major Opportunities

Olivet University's Jubilee College of Music is expanding learning opportunities for non-music majors.

JCM opened private lessons for piano, voice, composition, and orchestral instruments, and voice performance seminars for non-music major students in 2013 Spring quarter. Instructed by faculty members and graduate assistants, the lessons and seminars are available for credit or non-credit.

"This program will give opportunities for non-majors who wish to pursue their love for music while studying at Olivet University," said Emily Ko, JCM violin instructor.

Originally, only student majors enrolled in the program are allowed to take any music related courses.  Due to the interest and demand for educational experiences in other fields, JCM has taken steps to make it possible through its new offerings.   Applications are available now at the student service center. 

It is a great news for non-music people like me but also am fond of music and wish to learn !
