This weekend, the SUNY Oswego StoryTellers' Guild will host their 22nd annual gaming convention known as Arcon.

Held in the school's Marano Campus Center, Arcon Vol. 22 is a multi-day event in which people gather to participate in roleplaying games, card games, video games, board games, miniature games, LARPs (live-action role playing) and all sorts of other types of gaming.

As the campus prepares to celebrate many graduates during three ceremonies on Saturday, May 17, the Public Ceremonies Committee again seeks volunteer ushers to help ensure a happy day for families and friends in attendance.

Ushers help with overall crowd management and seating people with special needs at the ceremonies in the Marano Campus Center's Deborah F. Stanley Arena and Convocation Hall, but moreover, they help make this joyous day run smoother for the many guests celebrating this important milestone.

Volunteers can work one, two or three ceremonies:
