SUNY Oswego would like to acknowledge the following sponsors for their support and partnership.

Auxiliary Services

Auxiliary Services believes that a business should be an integral part of the community it serves. In this spirit, they are graciously hosting the University Wide Celebration following the Inauguration Ceremony on Friday, September 27.

KeyBank

For over twenty years, KeyBank’s support for SUNY Oswego students through scholarships has steadily grown. They are generously engaged in every facet of the community. We are thankful for KeyBank’s support of the Inauguration Event to be held at the SUNY Oswego - Syracuse Campus on Tuesday, September 24.

A local institution just two years older than SUNY Oswego, PathFinder Bank has been a partner to the university for generations. They are donors, board members, and a valuable resource for our students, providing opportunities and experiences. We thank PathFinder Bank for supporting the special entertainment at the Inauguration's university wide celebration on Friday, September 27.

SRC

SRC is a valued partner with SUNY Oswego. They are generous supporters of an endowed engineering professorship as well as scholarships in business and engineering. SRC collaborated with our School of Business, creating a customized on-site MBA program for their employees. As an engaged partner several members of SRC serve on various university boards. We are grateful for SRC’s support of the inauguration on Friday, September 27.

Fulton Savings Bank

As an engaged partner, Fulton Savings Bank supports several scholarships on campus that impact many local students. They participate on boards and in classes, understanding the importance of these opportunities for our students. We are pleased to announce that Fulton Savings Bank will serve as the sponsor of the 2024 Scholars Brunch on Saturday, September 28.

The events of this week would not have been possible without the tremendous contributions of many individuals. We are profoundly appreciative of the support and dedication involved in making this celebration a success.
