Harper Lee Laid to Rest
OSWEGO, N.Y. — Beloved “To Kill a Mockingbird” author Harper Lee was laid to rest Saturday afternoon. Lee’s ceremony was small and private, with just her family and close friends present.
Lee’s longtime friend Wayne Flynt gave the eulogy at the ceremony. The eulogy Flynt gave was from the speech he wrote in 2006 when Lee won the Birmingham Pledge Foundation Award for her work with racial justice. Lee requested to Flynt that he read the speech as her eulogy.
Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird”, published in 1960, was an American classic dealing with race in a small southern town. A part of Lee’s book was pulled from her childhood. Her book won the Pulitzer Prize.
Many people have been moved by the loss of Lee, including author John Green and Apple’s CEO Tim Cook. Harper Lee was 89-years-old.

Study Abroad May See an Increase in Support
by Eoin Gallagher
Oswego, NY- Oswego State’s faculty led study abroad courses will have the opportunity to expand. The school has announced they will be accepting new proposals from faculty who wish to expand the program. Oswego State is already considered to have one of the top study abroad programs in the country.
Director of Global and International Studies Lisa Glidden has taught multiple study abroad courses including “Sustainable Cuba,” a program where students were able to travel to Cuba over winter break. She says she enjoys teaching these courses and that they can even lead to potential internships.
“I teach another course that goes to Ecuador… I actually have a student going and doing an internship in the fall semester,” Glidden said.
With the efforts of Oswego State’s faculty and administrators, more courses may be available in the future. -
Enactus Club
OSWEGO, NY – If you’re a Business Management major and you’re looking to take the next stop to follow your dreams, then the Enactus program is the club for you. Enactus is an international organization with 1600 universities across 37 countries totaling around 60,000 plus students. I asked Spencer Wieland, senior vice-president of the Enactus Club to determine how do you prepare for the business world.
You can get a lot of real world experience joining Enactus or other organization (Weiland said). Enactus gives you the opportunity to do various projects in the community. Not only help the community but to actually get the real world experience of marketing and accounting.
The Enactus team will be traveling to Washington D.C. on the starting on March 28th and ending the 29th. Weiland claimed that they’re going to present a digitized project where we install new technology in the business such as a (POS System). If the team is successful enough, then they will be traveling to St. Louis later. (Date will be announced at a later date.)
To those that want to be successful in the business world in the future. Weiland states that a high GPA means a lot but doesn’t mean too much if you don’t have any real world experience. “Get involved!”
