Dear SUNY Oswego colleagues, students, and University Council members,

Each year, SUNY Oswego nominates between one and five exemplary individuals to SUNY for consideration of receiving a SUNY honorary doctorate degree. SUNY Oswego typically presents SUNY honorary degree awards to recipients at SUNY Oswego commencement ceremonies and asks the recipients to serve as the ceremony's commencement speaker.

Those looking for a space to stay on track with coursework, connect with classmates or get quick answers to their questions can explore this and more with the Virtual Study Hall from 7 to 9 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 8.

Cameras can be on or off, depending on what makes a student most comfortable.

The gathering provides an opportunity to meet other students and build connections.

Student organization Oswego Blasters announced that their weekly Nerf games will kick off this Saturday from 4 to 6 p.m. in Marano Campus Center's Swetman Gym.

Students are invited to participate in this free activity. Oswego Blasters is a community-driven organization that hosts semi-casual/competitiveish organized Nerf games. The organization will provide blasters and darts to participants.
