The Compass
by Reggie Debrah
Oswego, NY- Summer vacation is not too far away, and with the 3 month break comes large plans. For those who are looking to gain experience from an internship or simply looking for a job after graduation, the Compass is a place to start your summer plans.
The Compass is located on the first floor of the Marano Campus Center, under the Chu Atrium. The Compass is open from Monday through Friday from 10 AM until 4 PM. It provides resources for students such as resume and cover letter building. There are also student interns at the Compass who assist with everything from writing an e-mail to internship searches.
For those graduating and need preparation for the real world, the Compass can also help with that. The Compass offers mock interviews and help to learn about the process of applying for jobs outside of college.
The Compass is a great resource for students at Oswego State to utilize. There are many great opportunities such as internship searches and help to create or update a resume or cover letter. There is always someone there able to help with anything that a student may need. For any students looking to get ahead in their professional career, the Compass is step one.

Walgreens Buys Rite-Aid in Merger
Local Rite Aids may be changing their names soon after Walgreens announced today they are buying Rite Aid in a $17.2 billion deal.
If the deal gets approval from the antitrust review, the second and third largest pharmacy companies will combine and surpass the current number one, CVS.
Rite Aid stores will keep their names for right now, but they eventually will change. The consolidation of the two stores is just another change that the health care industry is changing due to Obama Care.
If approved that would mean Walgreens will have more than 13,000 stores in the U.S alone. In recent years, Walgreens has been buying up other chains, such as Duane Reade in 2010 and the European pharmacy chain Boots Alliance, last year. Walgreens currently is in 11 different countries.
