SUNY Oswego's MLK Day Committee is proud to share the details for this year’s commemorative events, focusing on celebration, reflection and community action.

The 2025 "Tithe My Shoes" effort is underway on campus to collect 1,247 pairs of boots, sneakers and shoes throughout Oswego County through Dec. 10.

This includes collection boxes in the Marano Campus Center and Hewitt Hall at this time.

The footwear will be repaired and reconditioned before being delivered to the Rescue Mission in Syracuse. The shoes will then be distributed to various charities throughout New York state.

A professional video crew will be on campus today, Friday, Nov. 14, from noon to 6 p.m., capturing footage of campus life for SUNY Oswego’s upcoming recruitment marketing campaigns. Filming will take place at various locations throughout the afternoon.

Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to wear green and gold to show their Laker pride and help create a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere.

If you prefer not to appear in video footage, we recommend avoiding areas where filming is actively taking place.

For this creative fundraiser, employees within a unit or area come up with a theme and fill baskets with fun items related to that theme. People vote for their favorite baskets by buying chances to win them for $1 each, with all proceeds supporting the United Way of Greater Oswego County.
