SUNY Oswego - Inspiring Horizons - The Campaign for SUNY Oswego

Inspiring Horizons: The Campaign for Oswego has shown us in dramatic ways just how powerful it is when many people - faculty, staff, employees, students and friends of the college - all come together to benefit the institution.

This autumn, several events showed me just how special this synergy is. We opened the final portion of our Campus Center with a symbolic "breakthrough" ceremony and honored those leading donors who made this unifying structure possible. This year's installment of our annual media summit, founded in 2005 thanks to a generous donation from Louis A. Borrelli Jr. '77, was a huge success and was renamed in honor of belived professor Lewis B. O'Donnell by grateful graduates of his, pooling their resources and talents. We welcomed Al Roker '76 and his "Today" show national audience to our campus with a tremendous outpouring of support from students, faculty, staff and community members. And our third Return to Oz reunion was a great and uniting success.

Much of this was made possible by Inspring Horizons: The Campaign for Oswego. We kicked off our campaign in September 2005 and in October 2006 we met our $17 million goal, eight months ahead of schedule. Now we have just six months left in our campaign, which ends June 30. We are at more than $21 million and have nearly $2 million left to raise.

Our success so far has been due to the Oswego tradition of working together. Donors giving $5, $1,000, $25,000 or more have made our success possible, and they will put us over the top. Every gift counts.

As the sunsets on Inspiring Horizons you can make a difference. Please consider being part of this historic campaign while there is still time. And experience the magic that happens when we all--alumni, faculty, staff and students--work together for the future of Oswego.
