Park Hall, named for a pioneer in this field who helped build the Oswego program and influenced teaching internationally, houses twelve applied technology laboratories.
My coursework has not only given me knowledge that is required for my degree, but it has also taught me how to be a problem solver and life-long learner. My course work allows me to apply technical and design skills to solve complex, open-ended problems which will be useful my whole life. I am a much better student now due to the methods of problem solving and content that I have been taught over the past three years.
The faculty here at SUNY Oswego has provided me, not only with the tools and resources I need to graduate, but have also acted as mentors to me as I continue my journey here on campus. I have had a very positive experience with every faculty member I have come into contact with; they take the time to get to know their students and will do their best to adapt their teaching methods to the types of learners they have in their classes.
