faculty projects, student opportunities, faculty-student collaborations, faculty honors and books, members of the SUNY Oswego campus community are garnering recognition and making a difference.

Oswego professors recognized for excellence

SUNY Oswego's faculty members have a record of success inside and outside the classroom as excellent educators and dedicated researchers. These efforts have earned several professors awards in recent months.

At Oswego, undergraduate students enjoy opportunities for hands-on research that peers at other colleges may not see until
graduate school. Many students are making the most of this aspect of the learner-centered campus.

SUNY Oswego professors actively seek out and pursue research opportunites outside the classroom. They know that doing so not only benefits what they can teach their students, but can bring greater discoveries and understanding to the world as a whole.

SUNY Oswego professors don't just know their subjects ... many of them wrote the book. Literally.

The 2005-2006 Arts and Psycholology series was an interdisciplinary exploration of creativity and perception. A multitude of events, including lectures, workshops, films and performances, were brought to the SUNY Oswego campus in an effort to address the common theme of artistic expression and its relationship with the human brain.

Highlights included a lecture by "The Speed of Dark" author Elizabeth Moon, a student-led production of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play "Proof" and an exhibition of work by six autistic artists. Keynote Speaker Dr. Oliver Sacks, author of the novel "Awakenings," presented his theories on consciousness and creativity.

In addition, a number of films and workshops were held throughout the academic year, and presenters visited several SUNY Oswego classrooms to bring their perspectives into the college's academic life.

In an attempt to integrate the series with SUNY Oswego curriculum, many professors required students to attend certain events. For those students with scheduling conflicts, Penfield Library set up a reserve section for materials related to Arts and Psychology. These materials included scripts, books and videotaped recordings of lectures ... and are marked with an asterisk (*) below.

Patrick Willome

Patrick Willome

Patrick WillomeThe following interview with Patrick Willome, then a freshman marketing major, took place in February 2006.

Q. What made you want to come to Oswego?
A. I visited and just sort of fell in love with the place. I just kind of got a vibe from it when I visited.
Q. What is your favorite part of being at Oswego?
A. Living on my own and learning. It’s just been a huge learning experience: Learning about myself, meeting people, the whole atmosphere. Just handling things on my own, I like that. It’s a big test.
Q. What is your impression of other Oswego students?
A. They’re great. I get along with everybody. Very friendly people. That’s a favorite thing about college is meeting new people, making new friends.
Q. What achievement are you most proud of?
A. Just my adaptation to college in general. I’m happy that I’ve managed school, getting involved and having fun at the same time. I’m glad that everything is going well in general.
Q. Do you know what you are interested in doing after graduation?
A. I want to do something within the media. My dream would be to have my own television show. I want to do something that either influences the economy or the media.
Q. Do you have any hobbies?
A. I work the front desk here (in Johnson Hall). I do the underwriting at WTOP. I play ultimate Frisbee when the weather is nice. I play broomball. I play video games a lot. I just started working with a personal trainer, which is good because I also eat a lot of college food. I’m in Boys Down the Hall, the a cappella group. I’m currently learning how to play the piano. And I like taking pictures with my camera.
