Let’s Talk – program
by Jake Vanderbroek, WTOP10-TV
Students have a new program to turn to if they are stressed, anxious, feeling unorganized, or have relationship problems. ‘Let’s Talk’ is a Counseling Center Outreach Program designed to connect students by providing informal walk-in consultations with a counselor. This is considered different from counseling and is not a “clinical service.”
There is no formal intake, no appointments and no fees. People who have issues to talk about should take advantage of this new opportunity said Katherine Wolfe. “Students are encouraged to stop by and talk about what has been making an impact on their behavior. Once a connection is made and the process is exposed, it’s much easier to make a referral for formal counseling,” said Wolfe.
Sessions will be held every Wednesday from 3:30-5:00 PM in Johnson Hall Room 141 and from 6:00-7:30 pm in Oneida Hall (across the elevators on the first floor.) Additional sites, days, and hours may be added on other parts of campus.

Oswego successfully hosts 46th annual NAPA Super DIRT Week
By Renee Dunn
OSWEGO, N.Y.– The Oswego Speedway was packed with fans two weekends ago as the cars lapped around the track at what is also known as Racing’s Biggest Party. NAPA Super DIRT Week is a yearly race in which the speedway brings in more than 9,600 cubic yards of clay to convert the asphalt track to dirt for the Super DIRTcar Series.
The track has been hosting the annual racing event for the past two years instead of its original location at the Central New York Raceway Park in Hastings after construction stalled.
Now that the dust has settled, Oswego residents and city officials said they hope it will return – this time for good. Mayor Billy Barlow said in an interview with WRVO that Super DIRT Week has brought in roughly 70,000 fans, and has been a great way to bring tourism to the city.
“To get them in town and see all that we have, see that we’re a waterfront community with Lake Ontario and the Oswego River, some of the other assets we have here – I think – is a beneficial thing and perhaps encourages them to visit again, even if it’s not racing related,” Barlow said.
Super DIRT Week in Oswego has earned a great reaction from all sides. Super DIRT Week fan Bobby Sweeney said he thinks the location of this year’s race was really cool because the “small town” overlooks “a big lake like Lake Ontario.” Sweeney said that the racing has been awesome this past year and that he would love to see it stay in Oswego.
