SUNY Oswego has two annual award categories recognizing outstanding and exemplary service: The President’s Award for Excellence in Faculty Service and the President’s Award for Excellence in Professional Service, with an Oct. 31 deadline. To be eligible for this award, individuals must have been full-time faculty or staff at SUNY Oswego for at least five consecutive years. 

Next week, join fellow faculty and staff in supporting Oswego students during The 1861 Giving Challenge, from 8 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 23, through 3:01 p.m. Friday, Oct. 24.

If 861 donors make a gift in 1,861 minutes, Steve Levy ’87, ESPN SportsCenter anchor, will give an additional $100,000 to SUNY Oswego.

Every gift — no matter the size — helps reach the goal and shows the strength of the campus community in creating opportunities for every student to succeed.
