The processional will begin at 9:45 a.m. with the ceremony following immediately thereafter.

This year’s commencement address will be given by Dr. Harry “Doc” Kloor. Dr. Kloor is the first — and only — person to have earned two Ph.D. degrees simultaneously, having earned them in Physics and Chemistry at the same time from Purdue University. He is also an alumnus of SOU. Dr. Kloor is a writer, scientist, educator, researcher, inventor, editor, producer, national technology policy advisor, and chief technology officer. Associated Students of Southern Oregon University President Torii Uyehara, who is graduating with a Bachelor of Science in business administration, has been selected as the student speaker. SOU students Adriana Alexander and Benjamin Comer will receive the Dankook Award for Outstanding Undergraduate Students. This award commemorates more than 30 years of friendship between SOU and Dankook University in Seoul, South Korea. Each year at commencement, SOU honors its outstanding female and male graduates with this award. The criteria used to select the Dankook Award recipients are demonstration of scholarship, contributions to campus life by playing a leadership role, and evidence of citizenship and character. Alexander will graduate with a bachelor’s degree in biology and a 4.0 GPA. Comer will graduate with a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and a 4.0 GPA. Nicole Doran will be honored during the ceremony with the Universidad de Guanajuato Award for Outstanding Graduate Student. Doran graduates with a master in management and a 4.0 GPA.
