OSWEGO, N.Y. – Students and faculty on SUNY Oswego’s campus took time to talk to Veterans in honor of Veterans Day over a bite to eat. There were a wide-variety of foods to choose from including pasta salad and wraps. Soft beverages and water were also served. The purpose of this luncheon was so that members on campus had the chance to show their appreciation.
Dean’s Office for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences’ Adrienne McCormick who works in said the luncheon was an important event for the campus.
“It’s very important to learn the sacrifices that people have made for our country. So i’m at the luncheon to show my support to those who served,” McCormick said.

Linda Cohn Earns a Sub at the Oswego Sub Shop
OSWEGO, N.Y. – Linda Cohn, the Oswego alumnus and sportscaster celebrated her 5,000 episode on ESPN’s SportsCenter on Sunday. Cohn became the first SportsCenter anchor to reach such a mark. Cohn has been a trailblazer for women in sports, but there was still one goal she longed for. Getting a sub named after her at the famed Oswego Sub Shop.
The staple in downtown Oswego is one of the most exclusive clubs for Oswego alumni like Cohn. From Al Roker to Steve Levy, the Oswego Sub Shop is where SUNY Oswego graduates come to be enshrined, in a sandwich.
When skimming the menu, Cohn’s name was nowhere to be seen, but one fan and fellow alumnus is looking to change that.
“She was like, actually I haven’t reached that celebrity status yet because I don’t have a sub at the Oswego sub shop,” said Paul Esden.
Esden, a producer at ESPN radio in Syracuse, N.Y. spoke to Cohn and started the trending topic.
Paul said, “I made the hash tag, I made the meme, and I was like let’s just see what happens. Cohn’s hash tag #GetCohnASub, has Oswego alumni rallying around her and the sub shop making plans.
“We’d definitely get her input and design it accordingly,” said William Green, the once owner of the Oswego Sub Shop. He sold the family restaurant to his son just a few years back.
Green said, “I had no idea that she was that popular or did that many shows.”
He remembers when Al Roker and Steve Levy got their subs and hopes Cohn will be the same kind of ambassador, they’ve been.
“They never come in here asking for anything, they’re doing it just out of the gratitude and respect of the sub shop,” said Green.
Odds are Cohn shouldn’t have to wait long. Green added, “I wouldn’t be surprised if we had a sub named after her, within the week.”
Cohn’s much-deserved sub is waiting. The Sub Shop even has a spot reserved. -
Resident Mentor Plans Never Before Attempted Overnight Trip
OSWEGO, NY — Students from Johnson Residence Hall at SUNY Oswego have recently embarked on an overnight trip to New York City. Johnson Hall resident mentor Jerimiah Butler says that this is the first time a member of campus residence life has organized an overnight trip with students.
“It’s an action-packed-like trip. We have no time for, you know, shenanigans here,” Butler said. “But we’re very excited, you know, it’s been a long planning process.”
The journey to New York had consisted of a concert from contemporary worship band, “Elevation Worship,” at the Playstation Theater in Times Square. The group had also made stops at Ellis Island, as well as the Statue of Liberty.
“It’s crazy how, like, it happened, because I wanted to see Elevation Worship for a long time,” student Amber Saint Joi said. “I was like, ‘I don’t know how I’m going to get here.’ And then this trip happened, so it’s like, ‘oh my god,’ so then we’re going to go see the Statue of Liberty, so definitely doing stuff for the residents, especially for all freshmen as well, it’s a new experience since people have never been to New York City.”
Resident mentor Butler hopes for this type of program to be held on an annual basis, with Niagara Falls possibly being the designated location for the next semester.
“We’re just dreaming big,” Butler said. “That’s one thing that my hall director here, Olive, really presses on us, it’s ‘think big.’ She’s been a huge help, as well as Linda, our FYRE coordinator. You know, a lot of meeting across this past month and a half or so, but this trip would not happen without their support.”
With a successful trip like this one, there’s no telling what amazing memories the RMs of SUNY Oswego will help make for students.
