2nd Annual Business Symposium Panel Discussion
Official flyer for the event
On October 14, 2016 the Oswego Alumni Association, Inc. of State University of New York at Oswego had its second Annual Business Symposium Panel Discussion.
Questions were based off of topics like diversity, equity, and inclusion in business. Panelists discussed how diversity benefits a work environment, how to enhance inclusion in the workplace, and ways in which the panelists have faced diversity throughout their own careers.
According to recent academic research, diversity in the workplace makes a business stronger and more adaptable than organizations with employees of a single background.
“Programs set platforms for your organization’s brand but you still need to do your part to make it part of the business your diversity brand is just as important,” said Dennis Shuler, executive chairman of Kinetic Consulting and a 1978 Oswego graduate.
“Having a diverse management team within your business will benefit and enhance inclusion in the workplace,” said Melanie Littlejohn, regional executive director of National Grid.
Of 321 large global enterprises—companies with at least $500 million in annual revenue—surveyed in a Forbes study in 2011, 85 percent agreed or strongly agreed that diversity is crucial to improving innovation in the workplace.
“A business can benefit by the creativity aspects that the employees when they work together bring to the table,” said Jennifer Shropshire.
When it came to inclusion Harry Bronson said to take affirmative action should be recognized.

A recap of the hockey teams big weekend
By Brittany Cairns, WTOP10-TV
This past weekend was filled with both Oswego State Men’s and Women’s ice hockey.
On Friday night, the men’s team was led by the seniors at Morrisville State with Shawn Hulshof, Alex Botten and Matt Galati all contributing goals in the 4-1 win. Playing on their home ice last night, Matt Galati was back at it again as he scored the first goal of the game. That goal led up to the first teddy bear toss in Oswego history and was the first of many for the team as they went on to win 8-1. With the wins, the number one ranked team in the country is now 9-0 overall and 7-0 in the SUNYAC. Their next game will be played in Fredonia on Friday.
On the women’s side, the Lakers played a two game series at home against Canton. Powered by a five goal second period and goals from seven different players, the team rolled to a 10-0 victory Friday night. On Saturday, the women continued their winning streak as senior Alexa Aramburu and junior Olivia Ellis each had a goal and two assists. With the 6-1 victory, the seventh nationally ranked team improves to 11-1 and will take on Hamilton at home on Friday.
