Built Upon a Legacy of Impact
SUNY Oswego is proud of the responsibility it upholds to make positive economic, civic, and social impacts:
- SUNY Oswego is the largest public employer in Oswego County. In Spring 2024, we have over 3,200 full-time, part-time, and student employees. There are more than 6,300 students enrolled, including 270 international students representing 35 countries.
- Oswego and the surrounding communities are home to many of our employees and students. Our campus community members enrich and strengthen our present and provide great optimism for our future. For example, in 2022-2023, over 4,500 SUNY Oswego students participated in internships, co-ops, student teaching, research, civic engagement and other applied learning experiences.
- Annually, the vast majority of SUNY Oswego graduates remain in New York State after graduation and continue to make a positive impact. In 2022, 99% of the graduates were either employed or pursuing further education within a year of graduating, with 87% working within New York State. See the 2022 Graduate Report.
In addition to employees, students, and graduates all making an impact on the community we share, SUNY Oswego’s capital plan projects also transform our environment: Over the last five years, SUNY Oswego construction projects exceeded $117 million and over $83 million was injected back into the New York State economy through the purchase of supplies, labor, and other directly related costs (2018-2023).
