Voices of Diversity: Quindell Williams
OSWEGO, N.Y. – Students and faculty gathered Monday to hear about the professional journalism experiences of Oswego State alumnus Quindell Williams (‘11) in the Marano Campus Center Auditorium.
Williams works for Syracuse based TV station CNYCentral as a photojournalist and video editor. During his five years at the station, he was part of the team that won a regional Emmy award for best Daytime Newscast. Williams also holds other awards from the Syracuse Press Club and New York State Associated Press.
“I love what I do, I love my job,” he said.
His motivation in life comes from his child. “Every time I look at my son I have to do better, doesn’t matter what it is,” he said.
Williams began his career in broadcasting at CNYCentral as a master control operator for one year, a job he got right out of college. A career fair at Oswego State presented him with the opportunity. He did work to get himself to the point of getting hired as master control.
“Things I did (in college) helped mold and shape me to what I am now,” Williams said.
He spoke to the audience about his time in college, at both Oswego State and Onondaga County Community College. He was involved with several clubs on campus at Oswego State such as the Black Student Union, African Latino Asian and Native Americans (ALANA), WNYO 88.9 FM, and WTOP-TV.
His advice for students, was simple. “Be prepared to seize the moment,” Williams said. “Try to surround yourself with people trying to reach the next level.”
The program was put on by Voices of Diversity, currently in their sixth year of holding events like this one to encourage diversity. -
Lakers Will Look to Move Over .500
By Eoin Gallagher
After a disappointing loss at Ithaca, the Oswego State men’s lacrosse team will look to bounce back when they hit the road to face the Morrisville Mustangs. The Lakers are 1-1 on the season. Sophomore Kyle Bacon leads the team offensively with 6 points, while fellow attackman Bobby Emerson is off to a good start as well, posting 4 goals in two games. Freshman goalie Kevin O’Donnell has recorded 32 saves on 54 shots on goal in two games – including a 21 save performance against Ithaca – the most by any Laker goalie in the past five seasons.
Morrisville has struggled early on this year going 0-3 with losses against Geneseo and Oneonta, two teams Oswego will meet later when SUNYAC play picks up.
The game is scheduled for a noon start on Saturday.

Hard Work is Paying Off in the Studio
Boxes galore is what you will see when you walk into the Al Roker Television Studio these days. Our installers are hard at work in the control room and the rack room installing new our new high definition equipment.
“What’s in these boxes right here is almost everything we need to complete the upgrade” – Justin Dobrow ’17, General Manager
The first thing that was installed in the studio were some cables.
Additional cables were installed in different parts of the studio
Take a look at the list of wires installers are using to figure out where each go in the studio (crazy confusing huh?).
List of wires the installers are using to connect everything together
After the cables are installed new equipment like the Ross Carbonite switcher, Xpression Graphics system, new Ikegami HD cameras will be installed and setup. New mounts for the monitors and wireless technology for the IFB and headsets will be installed as well.
Ross Carbonite switcher- “This lets us do green screens (called chroma keying), split screens, picture in picture, and lets us switch between video sources like cameras or videos like packages or show intros” – Nick Costanzo, V.P. of EngineeringMoving onto our new and improved rack room, better known as the “brains” of the new studio. In the rack room we have; Ross Xpression, Grass Valley playback system and a Tightrope media server that lets us schedule shows to play during the day or play reruns.
The rack room is coming together slowly
Stay tuned next week and keep up with our progress right here until the end of October!
