In an effort to keep the community connected and showcase student performers, student peer educators are launching an interactive Instagram show called Talent Thursday at 7 p.m. tonight (April 2).

Student performers can request to join the @ozpeereds live feed on Instagram or submit their own performances as Instagram stories while tagging @ozpeereds to be added to the Talent Thursday stories. Student peer educator Hayley Rosario serves as host.

The college's Alumni and Development Office is offering Oswego students an opportunity to connect with the vast SUNY Oswego alumni network for advice and career information.

The office is here to support students and the campus community during this challenging and unprecedented time. All students, faculty and staff are encouraged to reach out to the Alumni and Development Office to make a virtual connection with one of our over 87,000 alumni, whether individually or in a classroom or group session.

The Empire Plan is doing all they can to support its enrollees through this unprecedented time and has introduced a new telehealth benefit to help them access health care services remotely. LiveHealth Online lets enrollees stay home and have a video visit with a board-certified doctor or licensed therapist on their smartphone, tablet or personal computer.

The Office of Learning Services (OLS) is now providing online tutoring services to help meet the needs of SUNY Oswego students. Our virtual center will provide one-on-one peer tutoring and writing assistance through the combined use of Tutortrac and GoBoard.com.

Student organizations are planning for the future, including the college's American Marketing Association. This Oswego Today submission from AMA invites all SUNY Oswego students to take part in their upcoming virtual executive board elections.

SUNY Oswego has moved the April 4 deadline for course withdrawals to the last day of classes on May 8 for the spring 2020 semester.

Students should discuss their status (in any course they are considering withdrawing from) with their academic advisor and, where appropriate, with the Financial Aid office. With this change, we want to make sure that students have ample time in making this critical decision.

The second class of Faculty Accessibility Fellows marks part of an ongoing faculty-led effort to promote an inclusive campus culture that supports all learners. 

“The Faculty Accessibility Fellows program is just one other way where Oswego is a real leader when it comes to faculty development,” said Fiona Coll, an English and creative writing faculty member who coordinates this year’s program.

This year’s class of Faculty Accessibility Fellows includes:

With the college moving to remote instruction and other changes during this time, staff of the Counseling Services Center are working remotely but still aiming to offer the critical services they provide in person. 

The office reached out to those with existing appointments to facilitate services, with additional information for those who need services as follows:

The English and creative writing department recently announced recipients of its annual Creative Writing Awards for top student submissions across genres.

The recognition normally takes place during Quest, but with the annual celebration of scholarly and creative activity heading online this year, the department announced the awards early and passed along praise to all participants. Organizers are working on creating a virtual award ceremony to take place sometime in April.
