The Oswego Alumni Association is now accepting nominations for the 2019 Outstanding Senior Award. This honor recognizes a senior student who has excelled in involvement on campus and academic excellence during his or her time at SUNY Oswego.

The award recipient will be recognized at the Commencement Eve Dinner on Friday, May 17. 

All students graduating in 2019 -- including this May, August and December -- are eligible to be nominated for this year’s award.

The Writing Center will be temporarily located in 168 Marano Campus Center for the spring 2019 semester.

Part of the Office of Learning Services, the center provides writing assistance for students across the disciplines. Tutors are committed to help students throughout the various stages of the writing process, including understanding writing assignments, getting started on papers by brainstorming and outlining, and revising drafts. 

The Employee Assistance Program at SUNY Oswego announces a webinar for those employees considering retirement in the next couple of years, and who would like to plan ahead for things other than whether there will be enough money to live on.

The webinar on the psychological and social aspects of retirement, free to all employees, will take place Tuesday, Feb. 5, from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. in 114 Marano Campus Center.

Members of the campus community can start their New Year with a commitment to health and exercise -- as during winter break, Cooper Fitness Center will be free for all students, faculty and staff. 

Over the past year, SUNY Oswego has moved forward on a number of initiatives to improve the college’s stance on digital accessibility and inclusion.  

The first project was to revamp the oswego.edu website to ensure all webpages comply with current accessibility legislation, as well as improve the experience for individuals with disabilities. Overall, the goals of the projects are to recognize that digital accessibility is essential to ensuring equity and inclusion, both on the web and in the classroom.

Health Services will offer a CPR class at 9 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 19, at the Mary Walker Health Center.

There will be 12 spots available for this class. The cost is $3 for a CPR card and $20 for a card and book.
