A new campus-based podcast mini-series recent launched called "Self-Care Sunday."

This podcast was co-created by mental health counseling graduate student Shannon France and Kyle Dzintars, a counselor from the Counseling Services Center.

Al Roker ’76, national weather anchor and co-host of the 3rd hour on NBC's TODAY, connected with the campus community from 1:30 to 2 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 1, for an informal conversation with students and campus members, moderated by President Deborah F. Stanley.

The Office of Human Resources will offer training sessions for each electronic form in Hirezon/Interview Exchange through the end of the semester to help assist with the transition of these paper form processes to electronic. Below are the training sessions available:

October training sessions:

 The Employee Assistance Program Committee will collaborate with the Discover Wellness worksite wellness program to offer SUNY Oswego employees a "Writing Away Stress" session from 1 to 1:50 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 6.

The program, presented over Zoom, is open to all employees via online registration.   

The college's Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) student organization will host "How to Stand Out to an Employer" at 7 pm tonight (Sept. 29).

Prior to the beginning of the semester, the campus migrated Blackboard to a new authentication method requiring the use of your full email address.

At that time, the previous authentication used within Blackboard was removed. On Sept. 23, the service behind the previous authentication was disabled. Unfortunately, this affected some users who were still using an alternative method of authenticating.  

Meet -- Google’s video-conferencing tool available in the SUNY Oswego LakerApps suite of applications -- will see some changes starting Oct. 1, including participant limits and changes to live streaming, although its recording feature will continue.

Children are invited to participate in STEM 4 Kids (grades 1 to 3) or Young Inventors (grades 4 to 6), which start this October.

The SUNY Oswego technology department and Oswego Technology Student Association host two different iSTEM (integrative Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) programs for elementary-aged children.

Those looking for a creative outlet can join a series of writing workshops for students to encourage positive mental health through self-expression.

These are not classes; there are no grades. Students can come for one session or for all six. The ultimate goal is to help students feel better through writing.

Student Writing Group schedule and activities, all beginning at 7 p.m.:
