Education<\/span><br \/>\nDennis Slattery\u2019s connection to SOU spans over four decades. He has not only been a cornerstone of the university but a shining example of how a sustained commitment to exceptional teaching and generosity can transform the lives of SOU students.<\/p>\n<p>Fresh out of the US Navy with plans to return to his roots in Alaska, Dennis came to Ashland in 1977. He enrolled at SOU that fall, only to be abruptly dropped halfway through the term, as the university determined he was not an Oregon resident. This experience would later inspire Dennis to advocate for a change in residency rules for military veterans\u2014a testament to his dedication to both the university and his fellow veterans.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap av-lonlu5vf-1b0af19497658bd80b6b837f8f3faa01-wrap avia-button-left  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_hr
