On March 9, Campus Technology Services (CTS) announced the campus will add a second layer of authentication to certain campus services including Blackboard, Zoom, Office 365, Adobe, Library databases, Administrative Banner and Spectrum U. This second layer of authentication is called multi-factor authentication (MFA) and requires the use of your normal password along with a code sent to an app or phone.

Dear Members of the Campus Community,

I am pleased to announce that Magdalena "Maggie" Rivera, has been appointed Student Outreach and Support Coordinator in the Office of the Dean of Students (ODS) effective April 1, 2022.

Penfield Library is hosting a Research Party for faculty and staff over spring break in Room 215 of the library from noon to 2 p.m. on Tuesday, March 15.

Organizers said these have been very popular with students, so they decided to extend the opportunity to campus faculty and staff members.

This is an informal, unstructured opportunity to ask questions, get help, and otherwise get some work done. All faculty and staff are encouraged to come talk with us and get answers to their library questions (research and otherwise).

Spectrum will be partnering with Campus Technology Services (CTS) to perform maintenance on the SUNY Oswego Syracuse campus network on the following dates/times:

• March 28, 12:01 a.m. through 6 a.m. 
• March 29, 12:01 a.m. through 6 a.m. 

During these times phone, wired, and wireless network services will be unavailable.

The Hubert B. Smith Diversity Scholarship will be awarded to four students for the next academic year, 2022-23, with a nomination deadline recently extended to April 11.

Each recipient will receive between $1,000 and $1250.

This award honors Hubert B. Smith, retired assistant provost and director of the Office of Learning Support (now the Office of Learning Services), for his many years of service in the promotion of human diversity and academic excellence at SUNY Oswego.

Applications are now open for the college's Student Involvement Awards, with a ceremony scheduled for Wednesday, April 20.

On behalf of the Division of Student Affairs, I want to update the campus community about some imminent staffing changes that will be occurring in SUNY Oswego’s Residence Life and Housing (RLH) department.
