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.

Improvised comedy club Shawn Cassidy Fan Club Looks Forward To An Exciting Year
SUNY Oswego’s improvised comedy club, the Shawn Cassidy Fan Club, hosts weekly shows every Saturday night at the Marano Campus Center Auditorium at 8 PM.
Kayla Bonasera is the club president.
“Every Saturday night we do live improve comedy performances where we have sketch-based comedy that revolves around the suggestions that we take from our audience,” said Kayla.
In the darkness of this room not only the bracelets glow, but some of the worst humor also comes to surface, which is why they must censor some parts of the show.
“It does get crazy. During the parents weekend show we censor it. We actually allow one swear word,” said Carl Neff, who is treasurer of the club.
But not only the local students and their parents come to the shows. One example is Spanish exchange student Andrea Rodriguez.
“I think the most exciting thing about this performance is that they all act natural,” said Andrea.
If you are looking for something fun to do on the weekends here on campus, the troop practices every Sunday night and performs the skits on Saturdays.
