From the Office of Human Resources:

We have been advised by the Governor’s Office of Employee Relations that another day will not be designated to be observed as a holiday by State employees in lieu of July 4, 2020.

Full-time employees who are entitled to observe holidays, and are not scheduled to work on Saturday, July 4, will be credited with holiday compensatory time after July 4, 2020. 

The Alumni and Development Office can offer faculty teaching courses during the Summer Sessions or staff overseeing summer programming opportunities to connect alumni with students virtually in your online classroom, in webconference small-group meetings or during online events.

The college's network of over 88,000 alumni from a diverse array of industries and backgrounds is eager to network and share knowledge with Oswego students now more than ever.

Cadets Zoe Garrison and Joseph Farr of the Army Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) at SUNY Oswego recently earned national recognition for their academics, character and leadership.

Cadet Garrison, of Oswego, and Cadet Farr, of Watertown, earned the ROTC Americanism Award for 2020 from the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite, Northern Masonic Jurisdiction. 

They are both junior wellness management majors at SUNY Oswego.

The NYS & CSEA Partnership for Education and Training is pleased to announce the 2020 Summer Webinar Series. Webinars allow CSEA-represented New York State employees the opportunity to learn from the convenience of their office or home.

To participate in a webinar, employees need access to a phone, computer, and an internet connection. Participants access a website to see the instructor's computer screen and participate by using a telephone. Classes begin in early July.

Summer office hours, whether virtual or on campus, for office employees will be effective Monday, May 18, 2020, the Office of Human Resources announced. 

Summer hours will be 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. with a half-hour lunch break.  Summer hours will remain in effect through Friday, Aug. 14. Regular office hours will resume on Monday, Aug. 17.

While the world shifted during the spring semester, the Institute for Global Engagement (IGE) at SUNY Oswego moved quickly to organize an opportunity to discuss the unfolding pandemic, with a series of talks now available as podcasts.

Soon-to-be graduates and other interested students are encouraged to apply for the very needed positions of New York State contact tracers as part of the ongoing efforts to combat transmission of the COVID-19 virus.

The Student Association at SUNY Oswego is looking for dedicated and student leaders to join the SA Cabinet for 2020-21. There are different positions available. This is a great way to get involved and represent the voice of the students on campus.
