The Tutoring Center is Open!
Library NewsWe made it to week 2, which means the Hannon Library’s Tutoring Center is now open to support our students with free peer-based tutoring!
Our peer tutors are current SOU students, specializing in Math, Science, and Writing general topics, with specific subject and class expertise varying by term and tutor.
Tutors cannot do your work for you, but can provide guidance to help you be successful: by answering questions and providing feedback, assisting with understanding concepts, sharing time-management and planning techniques, and offering tips to improve your writing abilities for any class.
Students can make an appointment for 30 or 60 minute sessions either in person or on Zoom (or drop-in per tutor availability). Tutoring sessions can be individual or in small groups when applicable.
To make an appointment, see weekly hours, tutor bios, and other tutoring resources visit the Tutoring Center website.
Our tutors look forward to empowering you with skills and encouragement!

His passion for bringing the hidden tales of Southern Oregon to life is infectious!

Discover How Scientific Information Shapes Our Lives
Library NewsThe library will be offering a course in Fall Term that is approved for both the general education capacity Inquiry & Analysis as well as for Strand F in University Studies. The course invites students to explore high-interest current topics in science and learn about how people encounter, evaluate, and use scientific information in their daily lives. Using a variety of media, including newspaper, magazine, and journal articles, nonfiction books, videos, websites, and a novel, students will consider how people engage with science outside of the laboratory or classroom—and how personal, political, economic, and other contexts shape our understanding of new, thorny, or contentious scientific issues. The course is also designated as a low-cost materials course.

Information, Science, and Society
CRN: 1147
Credits: 4
Day/Time: Mon, Wed 10:30-12:20
