SOU basketball – Taylor Roos

The Southern Oregon Men’s Basketball Team will play Madonna University of Michigan tomorrow (3/6/13) in a first-round match at the 2013 NAIA Division II Men’s Basketball Championships. The game will be televised in Ashland at RedZone beginning at 2 p.m. Unfortunately, I will be teaching a class at that time.

Robert Stout & Stephanie Jurs mosaic in the entrance rotunda of the Hannon Library – Southern Oregon University

I have taken quite a few photos of the Hannon Library on the SOU campus over the years, but somehow this is only the second one to make it on the blog. Grizzly Peak can be seen covered in snow in the distance of today’s photo. I took this picture a year ago, and Churchill Hall was undergoing renovations at the time.

Tomorrow Ellie has her second to last mOcean volleyball tournament of the season. Today’s photo is from the last tournament. Her 15U team went undefeated until losing to a 17U team.
