Lakeside Commons offers SUNY Oswego students new luxury apartments
By Amada Caba
OSWEGO, N.Y.– Family and friends weekend gave a new luxury apartment community the chance to find future residents. Students, their families, and friends enjoyed activities, prizes and food at the Lakeside Commons first open house.
The open house included tours of the clubhouse which will be the 24 hour central hub of the community. The clubhouse includes a fireplace lounge and a fitness center on the first floor. On the second floor students can use the game room with a large screen TV, arcade games, table tennis, and shuffleboard. Directly across from the game room is the genius lab which is a study center with computers, free printing, and private study and conference rooms.
Although the 84 units are not completed, a model unit was available to look at. All apartments will have a fully furnished living room and modern kitchens. Unlike other housing options, students who live in the Lakeside Commons will have their own private bathroom. The apartments feature two, four or six rooms and range between $810-$855 per room depending on size and add-ons. For example, students would have to pay an additional ten dollars a month if they want a bathroom with a tub instead of a stand in shower.
“We should be done with construction by next June or July,” said leasing manager Caulin Price. “I’m very excited, it’s good to get things under way here.”
Their guaranteed move in date is August 25, 2018.
Anyone looking for tours, more information, or interested in leasing can contact their office at (315)-947-0095 or email lakeside@ndgliving.com. -

SUNY Oswego and CITI
by Sabina Longo, WTOP10- TV
High school students in Oswego County and SUNY Oswego have been teaming up to help young adults with special needs develop work skills. Thirty students are enrolled into the Center for Instruction, Technology, and Innovation (CITI) program. The CITI program has been a part of SUNY Oswego for the past twenty-five years, and is currently located in the basement of Hewitt.
Students in the program learn basic work skills through making ceramic products. Each student is responsible for a different job including, pouring clay into the molds, smoothing the clay product before going into the kiln, and painting the pottery when finished. Once the ceramic items are complete, they are then sold within the community. All profits are funneled back into the program to buy more supplies and materials.
“Students are all striving to get some kind of skills that they can use in the workforce,” said Vocational teacher, Lisa Carney
CITI has three half day classes that run Monday through Friday every week for two hours. Students can qualify for the state aided program until they are twenty-one years old.
