School psychology

It was SUNY Oswego graduate student Jared Cucinotta’s own experience with a school psychologist in middle school that inspired him to pursue a career where he can help kids who are struggling like he did. For fellow Oswego student Marcus Lombardo, he knew he enjoyed working with kids, and wanted a career that would allow him to work with kids while using data to improve student outcomes. A new program is helping them both help others.

A five-year grant of more than $3.5 million to SUNY Oswego from the U.S. Department of Education aims to fill pressing needs in the field of school psychology while helping diversify the profession.

A series of mindfulness programs has begun at the Children’s Museum of Oswego, hosted by a SUNY Oswego graduate student and supported by a college grant.
