SOU President Rick Bailey welcomes viewers to graduation season – “always the best time of year” on the SOU campus. He says that nearly everything happening on campus this month has “one common ingredient,” which is love. That comes in the form of faculty members offering caring mentorship, staff members bending over backward to guide students, and students themselves helping, congratulating and celebrating their peers. President Bailey invites all members of the community to become a part of the family at SOU. Some may wish to attend performances at the Oregon Center for the Arts, while others support SOU’s athletic teams. Still others may choose to participate in lectures at the Hannon Library or take classes through the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at SOU. Many members of the SOU family will be on campus throughout the summer to welcome those who choose to become involved in campus activities.
