SUNY Oswego, moving to increase already substantial opportunities for student research and creative projects, has established an office to provide support and pique student interest in hands-on, faculty-mentored work.

The National Science Foundation recently awarded SUNY Oswego a five-year, $872,523 grant to boost the retention of freshmen and sophomores in STEM majors.

The Chronicle of Higher Education has recognized SUNY Oswego as one of this year’s Fulbright Scholarship “top producers.” Two Oswego faculty members are studying and teaching overseas on Fulbright awards, one in India and the other in Kenya.

SUNY Oswego is launching the SUNY system’s first multiple-major co-op program, which can place students into full-time paying jobs in their areas of interest for up to six months.

“Not everybody gets to say that they worked with a Nobel Prize winner,” said SUNY Oswego master’s graduate Michael Plante. He is one of over a dozen chemistry students of Dr. Augustine Silveira at Oswego from the 1970s to 1990s who can, as of this month, say just that.

The summer months offer SUNY Oswego students both a break from the classroom setting and an opportunity to take what they have learned and put it to practical use with grant-funded research projects.

Applications to attend SUNY Oswego set a 21st century high again this year, but the college held to its quality standards and largely kept the numbers of undergraduate admissions in line with those of recent years.
