The Alumni-In-Residence (AIR) Program brings accomplished Oswego alumni back to campus to share their knowledge and career experiences with current students. Alumni speak in classes, meet directly with students and faculty and hold special presentations open to the entire college community. Students can receive information on what it's like in the "real world," how to become successful after leaving Oswego and what to do while still in school to help ensure success. The AIR Program benefits both students and alumni.
Benefits to Students
*Exposure to, and opportunity to network with, successful Oswego alumni
*Broadens career interests and ideas
*Reinforcement of academic coursework from an alum in their field of study
*Internship and career opportunities
*Increased awareness of the Oswego Alumni Association
Benefits to Alumni
*Honor of being asked back to their alma mater to share their career accomplishments
*Interaction with students for possible interns or entry level positions
*Ability to see their past professors as they return as accomplished alumni
