The State of New York has created a program that has the potential to provide a significant break on your New York State personal income tax for supporting higher education. The program is called the NYS Charitable Tax Credit Program, and it provides a non-refundable NYS income tax credit of up to 85 percent of your qualified contribution.

How it works:

• You make a charitable gift between $10,000 and $100,000 to the SUNY Impact Foundation that can be directed back to the program of your choice at SUNY Oswego.

A variety of free activities and food will mark the annual LakerFest from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 2, on Onondaga Field.

Activities will include build-a-buddies, a henna tattoo artist, photo booth, caricaturist, zipline, mechanical bull, home run derby, climbing wall and more.

Food trucks will include Skippy's ice cream truck, PB&J's Lunchbox and Oompa Loompyas.

The 2023 Fall Scholarly and Creative Activities (SCA) Poster Symposium will take place from 2 to 3:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 8, in the Sheldon Hall ballroom. Students looking to be part of the official 2023 program can print your poster for free by submitting all information via this link by 11:59 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 1.

A new health and wellness initiative, the Laker Thrive Series for Employees will offer a series of enriching activities aimed at promoting well-being and fostering community.

All of these activities are free to all employees, and serve as a complement to the many wellness offerings the university provides students. Some events might require registration due to a limited number of spots available due to activity space.

The university invites members of the campus community to an open forum with the first candidate for the Vice President for Communication and Marketing position on Thursday, Aug. 31, at 1:30 p.m. in 201 Marano Campus Center.

Are you a student who is ready to embark on an exciting journey that combines leadership, communication and an unparalleled passion for your campus? If so, an opportunity awaits with the Office of Admissions at SUNY Oswego. The office is looking for enthusiastic and motivated undergraduate students to join the team as tour guides.
