Community July 7, 2014 THE ASIAN REPORTER n Page 11 Dr. Roy Hirofumi Saigo currently serving as interim president at SOU Dr. Roy Hirofumi Saigo has been appointed interim president of Southern Oregon University (SOU). A respected leader in higher education who is also president emeritus of Saint Cloud State University, Dr. Saigo’s duties started July 1. He replaces Dr. Mary Cullinan, who was recently named president of Eastern Washington University. Well known in higher education circles as a “turnaround” leader, Dr. Saigo is being brought to SOU just as the campus is implementing its retrenchment plan to address budget issues, and is beginning the process of forming its own institutional governing board. “Dr. Saigo is the right leader to guide Southern through a period of both challenges and opportunities for the campus,” said Dr. Melody Rose, chancellor of the Oregon University System. “He will be able to build dialogue and understanding among the campus community and the region through his transparent approach to information sharing and collaboration.” Prior to joining SOU, Dr. Saigo worked as a consultant, speaker, and writer on societal and leadership players. Belgium lost Ste- ven Defour to a red card early in the first half, and then proved anything but complacent. After Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois turned back a flurry of Taeguk shots, Jan Vertonghen turned a weak defensive clearance into a pass to Divock Origi, and Vertonghen scored on the rebound from Origi’s sharp shot. Similar to South Korea, Japan could not take ad- vantage of a team assured of advancement in its final match of group play, ultimately surrendering four goals to a dominant Colombian squad. Colom- bia cashed in on a penalty kick in the 17th minute, and Okazaki answered late in the half with a header into the Colombian net, scoring Japan’s first ever World Cup goal in stoppage time. Japan’s glimmer of hope was extinguished when substitute Jackson Rodriguez drove in the go-ahead goal 10 minutes into the second half. Still resilient, the Blue Samurai threatened several times, but their shots found the post or flew wide, while Jackson Rodriguez scored a second goal, and James Rodriguez delivered Co- lombia’s fourth tally in the game’s waning minutes. The Blue Samurai’s disappointing outcome led to Zaccheroni’s resigna- tion, while South Korea’s 1331 N. Killingsworth Street (at N. Maryland), Portland INTERIM PRESIDENT.

From 2000 to 2007, he was president of St. Cloud State University in Minnesota, which had grown under his leadership to a campus of 16,000 students with 175 majors and minors. During his tenure, he brought the university to fiscal stability, built academic programs, increased student enrollment, engaged the campus community in internal university affairs, and initiated renovation and expansion of academic and residential facilities for students, among other accomplishments. His impact at the university was recognized when he was named president emeritus in 2007. Dr. Saigo is known for “being entrepreneurial and for building on the academic strengths of institutions,” Rose said, adding that he “can unite the campus, address enrollment and affordability issues, build on the great retention work already underway, and reach out to SOU’s many communities.” Excited about the opportunity to join the faculty, students, and staff at SOU, Dr. Saigo said he hopes everyone on campus becomes transformational agents to expand access and success for students.

It was a long day for Lucy Li, and part of her was glad it was over. She also was looking forward to another chance on Friday. And what would she do in the meantime? “Eat some more ice cream,” she said. Editor’s note: Li shot a 78 in the second round. She missed the cut, but said she “had a lot of fun. I learned a lot and, yeah, I guess it has exceeded my expectations.” Li also credited her playing partners, Jessica Wallace and Catherine O’Donnell, with making her experience all that more special.
