Spring Break Self Portrait
No students on campus this past week since it was Spring Break. The only sign of life at SOU was my shadow.

Churchill Hall before renovation
Today’s photo is from the archives–March 2009 to be more exact. Currently, Churchill Hall on the SOU campus is under construction so there are fences and things making this view less pleasing. While the construction is mostly for the interior, one thing will change when things are completed. All those ancient swamp coolers in the windows of the above picture will certainly be gone.
SOU campus in the fall
Southern Oregon University in Autumn
College and university campuses just look “right” in the fall, when the leaves have changed colors and/or cover the ground. It’s too bad the landscape maintenance crew is so diligent in getting these natural works of art off the campus so quickly. Let us all walk through them for a week or two. Is that too much to ask?
Recycling on the SOU campus
When students came back to campus at Southern Oregon University this fall they noticed that garbage cans had multiplied from one at a location to at least three to allow for recycling. This new art exhibit on Raider Way, through the center of campus, has taken that one step further. The recycling of prosthetic limbs seems to be making some headway.
Fire in the Plunkett Center
Police tape surround Plunkett Center on SOU campus after fire
Yesterday there was an early morning fire in the Plunkett Center (Chappell-Swedenburg House built in 1904) on the corner of Mountain and Siskiyou. Luckily there were no injuries and the building wasn’t lost.
Raider Way
A couple weeks ago a new sign appeared on the SOU campus right about where I took this photo. The path that cuts through the middle of campus (what some university’s call “the quad”) has been dubbed “Raider Way.” Raider is the school mascot (SOU Raiders).
Upon closer inspection you can find out how far it is to the library, the dorms, the HEC in Medford, and a few other places.
SOU has partnerships with Dankook University in Korea and Guanajuato University in Mexico. I have taught in Guanajuato and hope to teach at Dankook next summer.
SOU campus in May
Churchill Hall on the Southern Oregon University campus looks best in early May I think. These ornamental cherry blossoms (I think?) literally weigh these trees down.
SOU in fall
There is nothing like walking around campus early on a crisp, autumn morning.
Same view, different season
The leaves are changing colors around the SOU campus. Here is the same, basic view in a much different season.
SOU Plunkett Center
Southern Oregon University’s Plunkett Center sits on the corner of Mountain and Siskiyou. The building serves as the home of the foundation and alumni relations. A beautiful building in any season, my favorite is April when one of the two trees in front of it is always in bloom. The tree on the right of the building (center of this photograph) had yet to bloom when I took this picture in early April.
