The New Way To Meet With Fellow Students: Oz Spots
With the spread of the Coronavirus now under control on campus, SUNY Oswego has opened up 16 Oz-Spots for students to use for their convenience.
SUNY Oswego’s Chief Communication Officer Wayne Westervelt describes the purpose of Oz-Spots. “As we move from the nice weather at the beginning of the semester, although it’s beautiful today, to the end of fall weather, our desire was to create something that we had created with the outdoor tents, indoors for our students.”
The Oz-Spots were created so students could study, eat, or meet with their peers in a safe and clean environment.
There are curtains sectioning off the Oz-Spots from the rest of the building, and desks and tables are socially distanced. However, these spaces are not to be used by student organizations to hold meetings.
Westervelt stated, “We wanted to really make sure this is not seen as an opportunity to socially gather.”
There are many COVID preventative measures put in place at these Oz-Spots including a limit to 6 kids at a time, a 90-minute time period, sanitizer to be used before and after, and the requirement of masks.
Westervelt hopes these spots will be up and running for the rest of the semester, and even into the spring. The availability of these spots all depends on local and state health guidelines and the state of COVID cases on campus.
Westervelt added, “A lot of the credit for even just having Oz-Spots is a result of the hard work our students have exhibited over the entire semester.”
“We really want to open up opportunities for our students because they’ve done so well.” said Wayne Westervelt
The Oz-Spots are open Monday through Thursday from 7 am to 9 pm and Fridays from 7 am to 5 pm. Reservations can be made by scanning the QR code located outside each space.
