SUNY Oswego policy requires student operators of the college-owned 12-passenger vans to be at least 18 years of age, possess a valid U.S. driver’s license and complete a driver training session. This includes students who have the responsibility of transporting persons in the vans for departmental purposes such as academic field trips, residence life programs, athletic contests and community service.

It is recommended, but not required, that faculty and staff complete the driver training prior to operating a 12-passenger van.

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.

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

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.
