Today’s the day many celebrate the season of giving by supporting their favorite charitable organization, which can include giving to support a SUNY Oswego education and our students to open the door to a world of possibilities.

From scholarships to Oswego's SHOP food and clothing pantry to funds for student organizations to areas of greatest need, campus community members can give the gift of opportunity on #GivingTuesday.

"Professors, Poems and Prose" is a creative reading at 6 p.m. this evening in the Sheldon Hall historic classroom (Room 222) featuring faculty and staff from across disciplines at SUNY Oswego.

The campus community is invited to hear what their teachers and colleagues are writing. Refreshments will be provided.

Featured readers include:

SUNY Oswego will conduct a simultaneous test of the college's emergency communication systems on Thursday, November 29.

At approximately 11:10 a.m. on Thursday, the college will send messages via NY-Alert, the college website, campus phones including classroom and conference phones, teaching station computers, emergency broadcast system outdoor speakers, and digital signage. The test will not involve radio, television and other mass media, as a real emergency likely would.

The Oswego County Children's Fund, Inc. is looking for volunteers to help with their annual holiday toy giveaway. This year’s giveaway will be held on Sunday, Dec. 16 in SUNY Oswego’s Swetman gymnasium. The event begins at 8 a.m., and will run until all attendees have been served.
