For the fourth year, SUNY Oswego faculty members Peter Cardone and Doug Guerra, the Office of Workforce Innovation and External Relations, and the Office of Experiential Learning collaborated to produce the 2026 photojournalism series. The series’ portraits were taken by SUNY Oswego Visiting Assistant Professor Peter Cardone’s spring 2026 intermediate photo class and the essays were written by spring 2026 student members of the SUNY Oswego chapter of the International English Honor Society, advised by Associate Professor of English Douglas Guerra.
To showcase this year’s nine sites, SUNY Oswego photography students visited the sites to take portraits of SUNY Oswego students and recent graduates at their internship or work sites. Members of the Sigma Tau Delta International English Honor Society met with each intern or recent graduate to interview them about their internship/employment at the site and then wrote essays that tell the stories of SUNY Oswego interns and graduates working in our local community.
Special thanks to the members of the Campus-Community Relations Committee, including CCRC Chair Kendra Cadogan, SUNY Oswego’s chief diversity and inclusion officer and Kristi Eck, SUNY Oswego’s assistant vice president for workforce innovation and external relations and Tina Phillips (Office of Experiential Learning); as well as the SUNY Oswego Marketing and Communications team for their collective leadership of and commitment to this community project.
Our added thanks to City of Oswego Mayor Robert Corradino and SUNY Oswego President Peter O. Nwosu for their support of this initiative.
