Stevenson Union Administration Overview

The Stevenson Union is a social and extracurricular center of the campus community, and a focal point for campus activities for all members of the University community. The Union serves as a unifying force in the life of the University, presenting opportunities for the exchange of ideas and opinions between students, faculty and staff. The Stevenson Union houses student services and resources and provides space for the university community to meet, hold events, and informally connect to one another.

The Southern Oregon University President is authorized to determine the appropriate use of the Stevenson Union, and may delegate this authority as the President deems appropriate.

The chief administrative officer of the Stevenson Union is the Assistant Director of the Stevenson Union. The function of management of the Stevenson Union is vested in the Assistant Director of the Stevenson Union, who is appointed by the President of Southern Oregon University, and who is responsible to the Southern Oregon University administration. The Assistant Director of the Stevenson Union shall make decisions relating to the use of the building.

The Student Union Advisory Committee (SUAC) is the primary advisory body to the Director of Student Life in regards to the Stevenson Union.

The SUAC provides input and advisement to the Assistant Director on matters of Stevenson Union policy, procedure, planning, budgetary matters and designated space allocation.

Lost and Found

Lost & Found

Location - Information Desk or Room 312 - Stevenson Union

Phone number: 541-552-6461
E-mail: su_scheduling@sou.edu 

To report a lost item stop by and see us in the Stevenson Union or e-mail us and we will document it in our database.

We keep a database of all items that are reported lost and everything that comes in that was found. 

When something has a name on it, we will send an email to the student account. All items are kept until the end of fall term and spring term. Then a notice is sent out to students telling them that in two weeks we will clean out the Lost & Found and give everything away. Oregon State rules do not allow us to just give things to students, staff, or faculty so everything goes to local charities or Goodwill.

Other departments do keep their own lost and found, however, eventually almost everything comes to the SU. 

We would like to return everything to the rightful owner so here are some tips:

  • Write your name in your notebooks.
  • Put contact information on your USB drives.
  • Add a contact named Owner on your cell phone.
  • Keep an image with your contact information on your digital camera.
  • Provide a way to contact you on your calculator, school books, backpacks, or anything else you don't want to lose.

 

Print and Copy

Print and Copy Services

At Print and Copy Services, we strive to provide a wide range of university-related high quality printing, copying and bindery services to students, faculty, staff and affiliates. Our department goal is to achieve this in a more convenient, efficient, timely and cost effective manner than can be obtained from off-campus vendors.

And, ordering is easy with our online work order system. However, sometimes filling out your first work order, or complex work orders can be overwhelming. Please feel free to call us at 541-552-6134 if you have any questions and we’d be happy to walk you through the process.
