Dear Members of the SUNY Oswego Campus Community,

I am very pleased to announce that Stephen McAfee has been appointed SUNY Oswego’s Executive Director of Auxiliary Services. Serving as the Interim General Manager since July 2020, he assumed this official role on August 25, 2021.

With September as National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, and in honor of late employee Mary Gosek, the SUNY Oswego SEFA (State Employees Federated Appeal) campaign will continue the Totally Teal campaign for fundraising and awareness. 

A gathering and walk of remembrance will take place at noon on Tuesday, Sept. 28. For this popular annual event, participants are asked to gather in front of Culkin Hall for a photo before a walk around campus, wearing teal and a mask.

Campus Technology Services (CTS) provided a start of the fall semester update which stated Office 365 would be installed on computer lab and classroom podium computers effective Monday, Aug. 30. Unfortunately, a technical issue prevented the installation from moving forward. That issue has now been resolved and CTS will update the labs over this coming weekend, Sept. 4 and 5.  

Undergraduate students who will be graduating as of May 2022 and who have not yet filed online to graduate should do so assoon as possible. Undergraduates who will complete requirements in the spring 2022 semester should file no later than Friday, Oct. 1, 2021, for their name to be listed in the commencement program. 

Note that if students have summer courses that are needed for graduation, they should apply as August graduates (also currently open) and are automatically included in the May ceremony. 

The RISE (Research and Individualized Student Experiences) Office, supported by the Provost's Office, provides funding support for student presentations at conferences, exhibits or performances.

An update to the 2021 Dependent Care Advantage Account (DCAA) will include two changes allowed by the 2021 Consolidated Appropriations Act and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021:
