Calling all students! Hannon Library needs your help. We want to know what you need from your university library, so please… lend us your voices.

All SOU students will soon receive an email link to a 10-minute survey. By completing this survey, you’ll help set the future direction of Hannon Library—the services we provide, the collections we offer, and the improvements we make moving forward to provide you the best resources possible.

We want to hear what you have to say, so please take a moment to provide your feedback. Everyone that completes the survey will be entered in a drawing for a $50 Amazon gift card! (2 prizes available)

After 28 years of working as the Reference Services Coordinator, professor, and liaison to the Business program, Connie Anderson-Cohoon retires this week. She leaves behind her a history of dedicated service to the library and the students of Southern Oregon University.

“What I love most are the students and learning something new every single day. I will miss the ebb and flow of the academic year and my amazing colleagues” said Connie.

Every day here at Hannon, Connie has shown students and colleagues how much she cares with her tireless efforts, reliable commitment, and, best of all, her bright smiles. She has been a dear friend to many, and we’ll miss her.

So we wish you a happy retirement, Connie, and remember that your smile will always be welcome here at the library.
