After 4 years at The Oswegonian, thank you

This is the column where I take a moment to reflect and say, “Thank you.” After April 1 came and went, I quickly realized that my time at SUNY Oswego is coming to a close. During my first column of…

The Editor-in-Chief’s column: Back to my roots: hockey beat writing

For the second-straight issue, I am going to #StickToSports. From late September to March for the last three years, my weekends and newspaper coverage were swallowed up by Oswego State NCAA men’s and women’s hockey, as well as Oswego State…

The Editor-In-Chief’s Column: Sports are back; I cannot contain my joy

Typically, I have kept these columns generic to the SUNY Oswego community. Despite coming from a sports background, I had to adjust to news coverage this past year and most of my columns revolved around COVID-19 and how both SUNY…

The Editor-In-Chief’s Column: Welcome back; let us do the right thing

I would like to think that last semester, we, as the student body, learned our lesson. SUNY Oswego, just like a few other schools within the SUNY system, experienced an outbreak of COVID-19 at least once during the semester.  Sure,…

The Editor-in-Chief’s column: Expression of gratitude, when transparency has been crucial

A couple weeks ago, I decided to look into something interesting: where does SUNY’s testing of COVID-19 stand among the country? SUNY has administered more than 200,000 tests, which is no small feat.  SUNY’s number of administered tests has surpassed…

From my seat: The Editor-in-Chief’s column

Let me be honest, when I was a wide-eyed freshman in the fall of 2017, I had no idea what The Oswegonian would be like. If then Editor‑in‑Chief Cole Parzych, who is now a close friend, told me that I…

Misinformation in face of pandemic

With the novel coronavirus, which causes COVID-19, sweeping the planet and beginning to spread through the U.S., questions over the effectiveness of the federal government have again jumped into the limelight. President Donald Trump and his team have proven that…

Victims of crimes deserve closure

On Feb. 24, Harvey Weinstein became a convicted sex offender in New York State. After all of the long trials, the photos of him slowly walking into court with his cane, the “I’m innocent” pleas and the stressful stories that…
