Welcome Lakers!
From move-in day through the start of classes, new students will participate in Laker Launch, a series of programs, workshops and experiences that will teach you everything you need to know about SUNY Oswego.
During Laker Launch you will:
- connect with faculty, staff and support services
- build friendships with fellow new students and returning students
- learn how to succeed in class, and get the most out of your Oswego experience
- participate in evening programs that will give you an idea of how much there is to do on campus
