Deadlines: Letter of Intent due Feb. 15, 2022/Invited Full Applications due March 15, 2022

Since Fall 2018, we have been offering “passion” courses (First-Year Signature Courses) each fall semester to incoming first-year students. The intent of these courses was to build student engagement and academic rigor in the very first semester here at Oswego. Studies show that engaged students are retained at a high level at most institutions (Barefoot, 1993; Tinto, 1997; Kuh, et. al, 2005).

We ran 13 such courses this past fall, which you can find described on this website. 

Members of the campus community can take advantage of more than 80 professional development workshops through the college's annual Winter Breakout running Jan. 10 to 21.

The servers associated with the LakerPrint student printing, myOswego, Banner, and Degreeworks services will have scheduled maintenance on the following dates/times:

On Jan. 17 at 8 a.m., Campus Technology Services (CTS) will remove Zoom recordings from the spring 2021 and summer 2021 semesters to free up file storage.

Full-time employees who are entitled to observe holidays, and are not scheduled to work on Saturday, Dec. 25, or Saturday, Jan. 1, will be credited with regular holiday compensatory time after each holiday.

Employees who are regularly scheduled to work on Saturday will observe Saturday, Dec. 25, and Saturday, Jan, 1, as a holiday unless required to work. Any employee required to work on either day will receive either paid holiday pay or granted holiday compensatory time off (holiday leave), as appropriate.
