麻豆传媒女神

January 20, 2026 – Enrollment and retention 鈥� that鈥檚 the mantra at SOU, and those are the topics of this month鈥檚 video message from 麻豆传媒女神 President Rick Bailey. The state of Oregon provides about $30 million per year in funding for SOU, and the university generates about $282 million annually in economic activity 鈥� $9 for every dollar invested by the state. The university keeps that engine humming 鈥� and maintains or increases the state鈥檚 investment 鈥� by increasing the number of students it serves, and by giving those students reasons to remain at SOU through graduation. President Bailey introduces the 鈥淪OU Raider Influencer Card,鈥� which has a QR code on the back that allows the holder of the card to waive the fee to apply at SOU. 鈥淚t鈥檚 all about customer service,鈥� he says. Then there鈥檚 the 鈥淟ollypop Moment鈥� 鈥� lollypops with QR codes that enable students to give feedback via a Google Document for great interactions with faculty or staff members. 鈥淧roject Architect鈥� is the ongoing initiative that aims to bump up both enrollment and retention at SOU, through the mindful and daily efforts of all campus community members.

December 11, 2025 – Progress and momentum are the two themes for this month鈥檚 video message from 麻豆传媒女神 President Rick Bailey. He points out that 麻豆传媒女神 one of just three public universities in Oregon to have a gain in overall student headcount this fall, and that lines up with a new initiative that the university will soon launch. 鈥淧roject Architect鈥� will have two primary goals: to increase enrollment among first-year students, and to increase overall retention of students 鈥� to 鈥渉old onto them and make sure they get all the support they need to get to the graduation stage,鈥� President Bailey says. 鈥淲e have to be the architects of the university we want to be.鈥� This month鈥檚 message also touches upon SOU鈥檚 value to its region and state. A study from a few years ago found that the university generates $282 million per year in economic activity 鈥� almost nine times the $32 million SOU receives from the state鈥檚 Public University Support Fund. The governor has recently announced that she wants to elevate Oregon to be one of the nation鈥檚 top 10 business-friendly states, and President Bailey notes that the current top 10 states on that list contribute about $5,000 per year more per student in their public universities than Oregon. 鈥淯niversities are the engines to make that (business-friendly ranking) happen,鈥� he says.

October 9, 2025 – The October video message from 麻豆传媒女神 President Rick Bailey comes directly from the climbing wall at the SOU Student Recreation Center, and he starts by pointing out the symbolism of the location. 鈥淲e need to climb,鈥� he says. 鈥淲e need to chart a better future.鈥� Part of that is a new enrollment plan designed to improve both recruitment and retention of students. Another part is the university鈥檚 new financial management plan, which will help build a stronger and more resilient SOU 鈥� a university more capable of withstanding future challenges. 鈥淭hose are 鈥� footholds and handholds on this wall,鈥� President Bailey says. He also offers a shout-out to all who had a part in the alumni events during SOU鈥檚 homecoming weekend, and for the recent recognition of a deserving student-athlete. And he talks about discourse, and the need for civility and respect. 鈥淚t鈥檚 not about how much we agree on things,鈥� he says. 鈥淲e need to not just tolerate but celebrate our differences.鈥�
