Students Adjust to Snow at SUNY Oswego
OSWEGO, NY— Last week, SUNY Oswego students were ambushed with mountains worth of snow! Many would be surprised by the outcome of this week, being that there is little to no snow at all.
Instead of going out with friends, students like Breanna Walker preferred to stay inside and keep warm. She also gave us some advice on how to dress if students do decide to out for the weekend.
“The key to it is, I stay inside, and if I do go outside I bundle up. I wear two pairs of pants, my sweater and coat, and my snow boots.”
Despite their being such a drastic weather change, the wind chills were still very high. If students feel that they are getting sick, then they have the opportunity to go to Hewitt Union, where Mary Walker Health Center is located. They can also go to the Artville Store where they have medicine, along with cough syrup and cough drops.
“Drink tea and stay warm.” Breanna Walker said. “Make sure not to get other people sick.”
Some are excited to see the snow being that we’re a few weeks closer to Christmas break! Others are not looking forward to the continuous amounts of snow, due to transportation reasons.

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.
