SUNY Oswego Athletics is proud to announce the 2021 SUNY Oswego Coaches Corner, a series of virtual seminars starting Monday, March 22.

The campus community is invited to join Laker Athletics coaches at their many seminars throughout the final weeks in March. Topics will include March Madness, coaching basics, practice planning, goal setting and other topics, with seminars providing participants an inside look into many parts of the athletics experience. Seminars are open to students, faculty and staff. 

Four candidates for the position of Assistant Chief of Police will visit our campus remotely beginning this week through next week. View the candidates schedule online. Resumes and electronic evaluation forms will be posted online prior to each candidate's visit. A valid LakerNet ID and password are required to view this material. Any change in the schedule will be communicated via an all-campus announcement.

Best practice for the use of recordings for campus lectures, meetings and events suggest that they be culled on a regular basis, Campus Technology Services noted. These recordings are generally only relevant in the semester in which they are created and utilized. 

Sign-ups are open for a set of three make-and-take events that are among the many offerings for the college's second Wellness Day on Tuesday, March 23.

Positive Plants: Pot Your Own Succulent will take place from 4 to 4:20 p.m. Live on Zoom, participants will follow the step-by-step assembly of their very own succulent, and discuss the benefits of greenery in indoor spaces.
