Jackson Joins Development Staff
Dan Jackson
Dan Jackson ’75
Dan Jackson ’75 has joined the Office of University Development as a major gifts officer.

As part of the development team, he will be working to develop and maintain the college’s base of philanthropic donors.

Jackson served as the assistant area industrial director of Operation Oswego County, the area’s community development agency, and for 23 years owned and operated an Oswego business, Fred’s News. He said he is looking forward to meeting Oswego alumni and hearing their fond stories of their time on campus.

He’ll have a few memories to share as well. Not only is Jackson an Oswego graduate, so is his wife, Connie Plata Jackson ’75. Oswego is a real family tradition, with graduates including Dan’s brother Tom Jackson ’70, sisters-in-law Linda Calver Jackson ’69 and Deborah Deady Jackson ’71, brothers-in-law Frank Plata ’72 and Dan Plata ’81; and nephew Grant Jackson ’99.

Dan’s mother, Yvonne Jackson, and mother-in-law, Helen Plata, are both retired from jobs on campus.

“The college has given us a lot and now I want to give back,” said Dan. He added that college community members supported his business for many years and he appreciated their loyalty.

“I have always felt the college is one of this community’s biggest assets,” he said. “I feel fortunate to have been given this opportunity to represent it.”
