Hearing is about to get a little clearer in Oswego.
SUNY Oswego is upgrading some of its major venues on campus to be more hearing aid friendly. The college is installing hearing loops, which will minimize reverberations and ambient noise. The hearing loops will be compatible with newer models of cochlear implants as well as most digital hearing aids.
Although SUNY Oswego is only upgrading a few locations at the moment, the college hopes to install the system at other locations on campus in the future.
A few of the locations getting the upgrade are the Marano Campus Center, Sheldon Ball Room and the new Waterman Theatre.

Relay For Life
Oswego, NY – SUNY Oswego is putting on their 10th annual Relay for Life event on April 6th from 6pm to 2am. Coordinator, Tina Cooper, tells us all about the event.
“Historically it has been a event that goes from an evening to a morning. It is representing the change over from dusk to dawn. Talking about throughout the night, relating it back to a person enduring cancer throughout their journey and throughout their fight.” Relay for Life Coordinator Tina Cooper said.
Senior, Riley Synan, has been involved in Relay for Life for 12 years, she shares with us her inspiration to why she continues to help this organization.
“Both my grandparents died of different types of cancer and my mom also got diagnosed with cancer when I was in high school so, we made a team for her after that.” Synan said.
Coordinator Tina Cooper encourages students to come out and get involved in SUNY Oswego’s Relay for Life event.
“Come to this and see what your campus is about and see what it is like to actually be involved on campus with a whole ton of people your age that care about the same thing.” Cooper said.

The college offers three ways for students to travel home for breaks; shuttle bus, college express bus, and zip cars.
The Greyhound and Trailways shuttle buses travel from the Regional Transportation Center (RTC) and Syracuse’s Hancock International Airport. The College Express is a bus shuttle service from SUNY Oswego to downstate, including stops in New York City, New Jersey, Rockland and Orange Counties, Queens and Long Island. The prices for the College Express service varies between one way, round trip, walk on and reservations.
If you would like to buy a ticket, you can visit Lesley Wallace in the Compass to make your reservation, and she will handle your payments and any other information a student may have.
SUNY Oswego offers Zipcars for students who do not wish to ride a bus, train, or plane. Zipcars are a rental car service where members of the service can reserve a car for as little as 1 hour or as long as 7 days. The prices vary, depending on the car and hour long you wish to borrow the car, but gas and insurance are included. Student memberships are $15.To purchase tickets for the Greyhound shuttle, go to the Compass located at 145 Marano Campus Center.
