The popular Sheldon Institute summer youth camp invites applications and course proposals for the 2023 program on the SUNY Oswego campus.

Individuals can teach for one and/or two of the weeks of the program, Monday through Friday: July 24 to July 28 and/or July 31 to Aug. 4. Instructors are asked to submit a curriculum proposal for each week of the camp they are interested in teaching. Multiple course proposals may be submitted.

Priority will be given to lessons that are adaptable for both younger and older student audiences.

As of this morning, May 8, SUNY Online made some improvements to the Brightspace digital learning environment. These changes were discussed and approved by the SUNY Campus Implementation Planning Work Group, which is made up of over 100 members of SUNY from across a wide variety of campuses.

EXCEL: Experiential Courses and Engaged Learning is seeking First-Year Experience instructors to teach an eight-week transition course (GST 104) in fall 2023. Both faculty and staff are encouraged to apply.

This program allows first-year students to earn credit for gaining academic skills, exploring the community and connecting with campus staff and resources.

On Friday, May 5, from 8:30 p.m. to 12 a.m, Student Orientation and Family Engagement (SOFE) and Auxiliary Services will host a special Late Night meal, a breakfast open to all students in Cooper Dining Center. 

The Late Night Breakfast is free to all students, thanks to a partnership with Auxiliary Services. 

This semester’s event takes place during OzFest, and provides a chance for students leaving the PartyNextDoor headlining concert a chance to have a hearty meal prepared by SUNY Oswego faculty, staff and administrators. 

The MUS 345 Music Theatre Workshop class will present the music revue "Standup Shakespeare" at 7:30 p.m. tonight (May 5) in the Tyler Hall lab theatre.

The 70-minute show by Ray Leslee sets the timeless language of the Bard to the exciting rhythms of jazz, baroque, samba and gospel-rock original music. The campus community is invited to enjoy the free show and de-stress before finals week.

This Friday, instead of wearing Oswego’s traditional green and gold, please consider wearing green and red in support of the Fulton and G. Ray Bodley High School communities as they mourn the loss of one of their students, Rylee Bartlett, who was killed in a tragic car crash this past Sunday; and hold Brady Niver, who was critically injured in the accident, in deep thought and care.

Our heartfelt condolences go out to Rylee’s family and friends, and our thoughts are with Brady and all members of the Fulton City School District during this difficult time.

Sincerely,

The annual Student Survey on Attitudes Towards Technology (SSATT), administered by a graduate student class, seeks to examine attitudes that SUNY Oswego freshman and seniors have toward technology.
