Each year we are faced with more opportunities, journeys, goals, and dreams. We as students are able to create these visions of hope and success through the Student Association. Those that are returning students share the memories of performances, clubs and various social activities that are able to bring the campus community together. Students, who have just begun their journey, do not feel as though you are on this journey alone. Here at SUNY Oswego you have much to look forward to in your future years. While transitioning into the new college environment, talk with new friends, professors and staff about your new surroundings. Every student has questions; do not be afraid to voice them. Having the knowledge about the SUNY Oswego campus will help you to grow as a student, a leader and an individual. This institution will offer you the chance to succeed by challenging yourself at your own pace. These challenges will help you to be successful and achieve wonderful things that you never thought would happen to you away from home! The Student Association is here for the students, we are here to help you succeed, complete those journeys and make your dreams become reality. My goal is to help guide you through these times that may seem difficult, lend you a hand, and create a better vision of tomorrow as you grow away from the fears of yesterday. Every student that visits this website shares something unique. Whether it be culture, history, or future outlooks we must open our minds to the diversity our campus explores because as we grow into tomorrow we inevitably share all that is with it. Welcome to the Student Association, where your voice is heard, your dreams are lived, where your adventure begins.

How do you get involved? Good Question!

The Student Association is the student governmental organization on the SUNY Oswego campus. We work with the administration of the college to support what the students feel is the right direction to take for our institution. The Student Association is comprised of the Executive Branch, headed by the SA President, the Senate (Legislative) Branch, headed by the SA Vice President, and comprised of student senators, the Finance Department, headed by the Director of Finance, and the Supreme Court headed by the Chief Justice. Come to “The Point” located in the Campus Center and use your voice!

Do ever feel like you would like to represent your students? Are you interested about influencing the policies of our campus? Do you want to take part in discussions about tuition or the Go Green initiative? If any of these sound interesting to you, contact the Student Association or email me at balleste@oswego.edu and I will help you to voice your ideas/concerns about our campus!

I look forward to working with you to creating a brighter future for the Student Association. I am determined to enrich your college experience through student involvement and effective communication.

Please stop by and see me in 114 "The Point" located in the Campus Center! We offer a variety of student positions within the Student Association that help to build a better future for our campus.
