Student Wellbeing and Care

At SUNY Oswego, we are committed to helping students overcome challenges and advocate for what they need to be successful. We define basic needs as the essential resources needed for physical and mental wellbeing, allowing our students to successfully complete their academic degree program. These include food, housing, clothing, transportation, and more.

Students Helping Oz Peers —or SHOP for short— provides students, faculty, and staff with FREE non-perishable food, toiletries, sexual and reproductive health products, and professional and winter apparel.

The health and wellbeing of our students is extremely important. We are dedicated to helping students make informed, healthy choices. 

The AOD (Alcohol and Other Drug) Program supports students through education, counseling, and implementing prevention programs on campus.

The Office of the Dean of Students offers various student leadership positions. These are great opportunities to develop skills, gain new knowledge and experience, make connections, and give back to the campus community.
