Welcome
I am honored to be Southern Oregon University's President. Since I arrived in Ashland in August 2006, I become more impressed every day with the quality of education and the quality of life on this campus. We are truly here to make a difference for students and for our region. This is an extraordinary university in a spectacular setting.
Our faculty and staff create a dynamic environment that engages students in the process of learning. Our strong commitment to each student provides a personalized approach that is both academically challenging and personally supportive.
I hope you will navigate through this site and learn about the many qualities that make SOU so special. And I hope you will visit our beautiful campus to see for yourself why Southern Oregon University is such an extraordinary institution.
