The SUNY Oswego Skate Shop will kick off its recreational Open Skate sessions for the fall 2018 semester on Tuesday, Sept. 4.

The regular sessions, which take place at the Marano Campus Center arena, are scheduled as follows:

- Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m;
- Tuesdays from 6:30 to 8 p.m.;
- Sundays from 6 to 7:30 p.m.

We hope the new semester is treating you well.

With the academic year starting, we wanted to remind you that the parking lots south of Hart and Funnelle halls are separated between student and employee parking. Since the start of classes, the campus has experienced an overflow problem due to employees parking in Resident Lot 9 -- the half closest to the residence hall -- which is reserved for students. Employee Lot 18 (the back half of that lot) is reserved for faculty and staff, except for the back two rows which are needed for commuter students.

The process by which SUNY Oswego recommends nominees for SUNY Awards and the promotion to Distinguished Professorships involves the actions of a selection committee.  

The selection committee is responsible for soliciting campus nominations, reviewing nomination files, evaluating all nominees, and ranking nominations as a recommendation for action by the President.

If elected, Faculty Assembly policy calls for the members of the committee to consider nominations for the following categories:

SUNY Oswego has created a new information and registration form designed for use by employees who are engaged in or planning to conduct non-profit donation or fundraiser activities that are not sanctioned by the College. Currently, the only campus-sanctioned fundraising event is the State Employees Federated Appeal (SEFA).

Dear Members of the Campus Community,

I am pleased to announce the appointment of Mary Toale as SUNY Oswego’s executive assistant to the president, effective September 1, 2018.  Toale, who has served the college as a member of the faculty, department chair, interim dean of graduate studies, and most recently as a faculty fellow to the president, will succeed Howard Gordon '74 M'78, who will retire at the end of this week after more than four decades of service at his alma mater.

Students can join or learn more about SUNY Oswego's more than 200 student clubs and organizations during the annual Student Involvement Fair, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 29, in the Marano Campus Center arena.

In addition to exploring the many ways to get involved on campus, students can meet representatives of campus departments and community businesses. Auxiliary Services will provide carnival-style treats as well.

In an effort to consolidate and enhance internal communication with the entire SUNY Oswego campus community, the Office of Communications and Marketing is proud to unveil its debut edition of Oswego Today.

You may have noticed that the flags, which have been visibly displayed in the Marano Campus Center since its opening in 2007, are no longer hanging in their familiar location. After years of proudly displaying them, we recognize our flags need attention and, as a result, we are giving them a close review and refresh.

While the flags are being updated, a dedicated group of campus stakeholders convened by the President will continue to review and make recommendations to the President on the proper display and inclusion of flags on campus.

Over the last couple of months, Campus Technology Services has been reminding all employees to update their antivirus software as the campus transitions from Sophos to Cylance. The Sophos license expired July 31. If you have not updated, you may now start seeing notices on your SUNY-owned devices that Sophos has expired, leaving your device susceptible to malware.
