The newest application to require MFA includes Handshake used for publicizing and applying for student jobs. MFA will be turned on for Handshake on Monday, Sept. 18 at 10 a.m. Please note, MFA for Handshake will work similar to services already using MFA including Brightspace and myOswego.

While archived content is still in Panopto, you must request that it be restored, which can take up to 48 hours.

Dear SUNY Oswego students, faculty, and staff,

Each year, SUNY Oswego nominates 1 to 5 exemplary individuals to SUNY for consideration of receiving a SUNY honorary doctorate degree. SUNY Oswego typically presentes SUNY honorary degree awards to recipients at its Commencement ceremonies and asks the recipients to serve as the ceremony's Commencement speaker.

On behalf of the search committee for the Affirmative Action Officer-Deputy Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer position, faculty, staff and students are invited to attend a campus presentation from the candidate at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 12, in 201 Marano Campus Center. You can also attend Tuesday's Open Forum via Zoom.
