Five young finalists have been named in a scholarship competition offered by SUNY Oswego: Lucas Anzalone, from Oswego; Paige Blair, from Cazenovia; Mike Cuyler, from Oswego; Millie Wu, from Skaneateles; and Gabriella Warner, from Oswego.

“The winner will receive a $1,000 scholarship to enroll as an English or creative writing major, thanks to the generosity of the Shineman Endowed Fund @ SUNY Oswego,” said Soma Mei Sheng Frazier, who facilitates the competition alongside students in two of her classes, “and the finalists will receive substantial support.”

In 2023, Penfield Library was a busy place. Over 191,000 visitors came through the doors -- a 32 percent increase from 2022 -- and the library loaned out over 26,000 physical items for our users this year.

The SHOP (Students Helping Oz Peers) pantry will open for the semester at 1 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 5.

SHOP provides students, faculty and staff with free non-perishable food, toiletries, sexual and reproductive health products, and professional and winter apparel.

Located in the basement of Penfield Library to the right of the elevator, SHOP is a collaborative effort between on- and off-campus partners who recognize the need to address food insecurity within the campus community. 

A Financial Wellness Workshop, presented by health promotion and wellness professor Sandy Bargainnier, will take place at noon on Tuesday, Feb. 27. SUNY Oswego's Employee Assistance Program sponsors this free workshop.

On Wednesday, Feb. 7 and Thursday, Feb. 8, both starting at 12:01 a.m. to 6 a.m., a third-party provider will perform network maintenance affecting the SUNY Oswego Syracuse Campus.

Network connections will be unavailable for everyone at the Syracuse Campus during these times.

Each year the university recognizes the outstanding scholarly and creative activities that are conducted by SUNY Oswego faculty. The nomination window for these awards is now open.

The Scholarly and Creative Activity Committee recommends faculty members to the President and Provost who have been nominated for the following awards:

SUNY Oswego is committed to providing its students with a learning-centered environment in which the focus is squarely on providing excellent learning and growth opportunities for students. This commitment to educational excellence requires that truly exceptional teachers are recognized, celebrated and rewarded for their contributions to the learning environment.

Donations are welcome in bins around the campus through Friday, Feb. 9, and will be distributed through SHOP shortly after that.
