Captioning makes audio and video content more accessible. As SUNY Oswego has shifted to alternative modes of teaching in recent weeks, more students than ever stand to benefit from the captioning of video content. To support faculty in the first weeks of their transition to online teaching, Campus Technology Services offered captioning services for some newly generated videos.

The college’s Office of Career Services remains connected with students and employers to provide services including virtual job fairs, interviewing advice, career exploration workshops and more.

To protect the health of employees, the Office of Human Resources is currently forgoing any face-to-face meetings and training sessions with employees' retirement plan investment providers.

You can request a virtual meeting or phone consolation with your provider. Below is information on how to contact each retirement system and set up a meeting. If you already had a meeting scheduled, the provider should have reached out to you directly to make accommodations to meet virtually.
