Campus Technology Services (CTS) offers the following updates for the start of the fall 2021 semester:

New service offerings 

SpectrumU TV IS NOW AVAILABLE TO ALL RESIDENTIAL STUDENTS FOR NO CHARGE

For today’s digitally native students, streaming TV is more than just entertainment -- it’s a must-have. SpectrumU TV enables colleges and universities to meet this expectation and provide more on-campus value by enabling students to watch TV anytime and anywhere.

Writing Center staff will be available to visit classrooms and share information about writing tutoring services.

If you would like to schedule a classroom visit, contact Steven Smith at steven.smith@oswego.edu. Visits are approximately 10 to 15 minutes.

Smith will need to know the course, section number, where and when the course meets and how many students are in it.

Dear Faculty,

I am pleased to announce an opportunity available to support your scholarship. The Research and Individualized Student Experiences (RISE) office in partnership with the Financial Aid Office supports 12 Undergraduate Research Assistantships (URA) through the federally funded Work-Study program. This program allows faculty from across the university to request an eligible student as a research assistant to advance their research/scholarship.

With a first week of fall 2021 classes in the books, students are invited to come and play for the annual LakerFest, 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 28, on Onondaga Field.

The west campus location will feature a variety of food, games, activities and more for the event, which is free and open to the campus community and sponsored by the Office of Residence Life and Housing.

Expected activities include:

Did you know that most ink and toner cartridges can be recycled and reused? If you have an expired cartridge, you can send them by campus mail or drop them off to the Environmental Health and Safety Office, 110 Lee Hall, or call 315-312-3157 to arrange pickup.

EHS recommends not waiting for a large stack to develop for everybody's convenience. If sending, not a lot of taping is recommended since EHS has to unpack them to send them out for recycling.
