He has not only been a cornerstone of the university but a shining example of how a sustained commitment to exceptional teaching and generosity can transform the lives of Â鶹´«Ã½ students.<\/p>\n<p>Fresh out of the US Navy with plans to return to his roots in Alaska, Dennis came to Ashland in 1977. He enrolled at Â鶹´«Ã½ that fall, only to be abruptly dropped halfway through the term, as the university determined he was not an Oregon resident. This experience would later inspire Dennis to advocate for a change in residency rules for military veterans\u2014a testament to his dedication to both the university and his fellow
