As SUNY Oswego prepares to celebrate the Class of 2025, we want to ensure that everybody’s Commencement experience is safe, smooth and memorable. For those who are attending the ceremony, and for friends and family coming to support graduates, please review the following important updates before attending the ceremony:

The campus community is invited to celebrate Tyler Art Gallery's "BFA 2 Exhibition," running through May 16 and with an opening reception from 5 to 7 p.m. on Friday, May 9.

One of the university's longest-running traditions, Commencement Eve Torchlight, will return on Friday, May 16, starting at 8 p.m. in Lot E-31, between Marano Campus Center and Penfield Library. 

SUNY Oswego President Peter O. Nwosu will host faculty and staff drop-in hours today, Tuesday, May 6, from 11 a.m. to noon in the Marano Campus Center Chu Atrium. 

All faculty and staff are invited to stop by and meet with President Nwosu during these in-person drop-ins, which are planned to be held periodically throughout the semester.

In celebration of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month, the SUNY Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, in partnership with the Office of Executive Recruitment and Leadership Development, is proud to present a virtual panel, "Breaking Barriers, Building Futures: AANHPI Leadership Across Generations" from noon to 1:15 p.m. on Wednesday, May 14.

Residence Life and Housing

• Residence halls and Village Townhouses close at noon on May 17, 2025, for non-graduating students.

• Transition to summer housing for summer school students will occur on May 18 from 9 to 11 a.m.

• Graduates must vacate their residence halls two hours after their ceremony concludes.

Running from 4:30 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, May 8, "Magical Night – A Collaborative Screening and Conversation" will feature a screening of the feature film "The Princess and the Frog" followed by a discussion in 142 Marano Campus Center.

"Art in Motion" aims to provide a relaxing evening surrounding stress management through different art forms from 4 to 5:30 p.m. on Monday, May 5, in 220 Wilber Hall.

The first 12 participants to hand in their survey will receive a prize at the conclusion of the program.

The event is part of the HSC 448: "Health Promotion Programming" class taught by Jessica Harris, and is part of a final project to implement a program on campus that students work on all semester.

The City of Oswego will conduct its 9th annual Code Enforcement Blitz from May 5 to 19.

As the community transitions into summer, the city is making an effort to ensure that tenants do not leave behind garbage, debris or furniture. The community-campus partnership is one appreciated by both parties, so leaving Oswego in good condition for the upcoming summer season is welcomed by all.

Campus Technology Services (CTS) would like to inform the campus that Google Pixel smartphones operating on Android 15 cannot connect to the SUNY Oswego secure wireless network. A recent Google security update in Android 15 is preventing these phones from connecting to the SUNY Oswego secure wireless network.
