OSWEGO, NY— Last week, SUNY Oswego students were ambushed with mountains worth of snow! Many would be surprised by the outcome of this week, being that there is little to no snow at all.

Instead of going out with friends, students like Breanna Walker preferred to stay inside and keep warm. She also gave us some advice on how to dress if students do decide to out for the weekend. 

“The key to it is, I stay inside, and if I do go outside I bundle up. I wear two pairs of pants, my sweater and coat, and my snow boots.” 

Despite their being such a drastic weather change, the wind chills were still very high. If students feel that they are getting sick, then they have the opportunity to go to Hewitt Union, where Mary Walker Health Center is located. They can also go to the Artville Store where they have medicine, along with cough syrup and cough drops. 

“Drink tea and stay warm.” Breanna Walker said. “Make sure not to get other people sick.” 

Some are excited to see the snow being that we’re a few weeks closer to Christmas break! Others are not looking forward to the continuous amounts of snow, due to transportation reasons. 

OSWEGO, NY— Earlier this week, students had the opportunity of meeting and speaking with Zully Ramirez. She is currently an investigative news reporter at Chicago Telemundo. The event was hosted by the PRSSA here at SUNY Oswego and was open to the general public.

Zully Ramirez originally hails from Guatemala, but she moved to Harlem, NY at a young age. Many students were intrigued by her success story and her honesty about being an investigative news reporter. 

After the event, I had the opportunity of interviewing Zully Ramirez and asked her what she would tell present and future students of SUNY Oswego. Her response was, “I would just say persevere. Persevere, listen to advice and put your heart and soul into everything that you do. Because when you persevere and listen to advice, and put your heart and soul into everything that you do, you can make it.”

OSWEGO, NY— This past weekend, SUNY Oswego students prepared for homecoming week from shopping at Marano’s Clothing Store to performances from a local band named Squonk Opera. The band hails from Pittsburgh, PA, and their name gives them a satirical feel because, well you guessed it…they’re not an actual opera group. 

Maggie Schmuhl, who is an Assistant Professor at SUNY Oswego said, “The Squonk Opera was super fun! It was very entertaining. They had lots of special effects and the kids loved dancing with it. It was a good time all around.”

Tickets were free, and the general public was also welcomed to watch their performance. 

Another well-known artist named Young MA performed Friday night at the Swetman Field. The event was hosted by SAPB at SUNY Oswego. She performed her popular songs such as “Petty Wap” and “BIG.”
