Let’s Talk – program
by Jake Vanderbroek, WTOP10-TV
Students have a new program to turn to if they are stressed, anxious, feeling unorganized, or have relationship problems. ‘Let’s Talk’ is a Counseling Center Outreach Program designed to connect students by providing informal walk-in consultations with a counselor. This is considered different from counseling and is not a “clinical service.”
There is no formal intake, no appointments and no fees. People who have issues to talk about should take advantage of this new opportunity said Katherine Wolfe. “Students are encouraged to stop by and talk about what has been making an impact on their behavior. Once a connection is made and the process is exposed, it’s much easier to make a referral for formal counseling,” said Wolfe.
Sessions will be held every Wednesday from 3:30-5:00 PM in Johnson Hall Room 141 and from 6:00-7:30 pm in Oneida Hall (across the elevators on the first floor.) Additional sites, days, and hours may be added on other parts of campus.

Taco Bell Grand Opening
OSWEGO, NY— The time has finally come. Oswego’s own Taco Bell has finally opened and with promotions to celebrate.
On Wednesday morning, locals attended the grand opening and ribbon cutting for the fast-food chains new location. The new addition to Oswego’s dining options has taken about 6 months to construct, and after numerous delays caused by weather conditions a gas pipe running through the property has finally opened on October 30. The marketing director, Jessica Woodburn has been waiting for this moment.
“So I think that everyone here in Oswego has known that this has been a long time coming we’ve been working diligently to find a location and due to situations out of our control,” said Woodburn. “We had a couple of locations fall through but then we were able to get this fantastic location on George Street. We’re excited we’re finally open people have been very patient and we think that today is just going to be a phenomenal opening day.”
A familiar face was seen at the grand opening, Oswego Mayor Billy Barlow.
“Well it’s great to finally have Taco Bell in Oswego. We had a many years ago and it left Oswego, but now it’s back and it’s finally here and we’re so excited. There’s a huge demand here in the city. Between people in the SUNY community and people who just overall love Taco Bell and are tired of driving to Fulton or North Syracuse to get it. I think they’ll do really well and we’re happy to have them,” said Barlow.
Some of their favorite Taco Bell orders?
“Chicken Quesadilla with a Mountain Dew,” said Woodburn.
As for Mayor Barlow, “I like the box of tacos, the cinnamon twists, and then the Baja Blast which I think you can only get at Taco Bell.”
