Starting on April 3, SUNY Oswego students should have begun receiving the triennial SUNY Satisfaction Survey (SSS), a key tool in evaluating various aspects of campus.

SUNY institutions survey undergraduate students every third year during the spring semesters, with the goal of determining how well campuses serve their undergraduate students and their level of satisfaction. This survey is a prime opportunity for students to use their voices by taking a few minutes to complete.

April is National Deaf History Month. Introduced in 1997 by the National Association of the Deaf (NAD), National Deaf History Month is dedicated to increasing public understanding of the history, language, and culture specific to the deaf and hard-of-hearing people in American communities.
