Baldwinsville resident Tyler Edic has future plans after SUNY Oswego

2013 May 10

Tyler Edic of Baldwinsville, who is set to receive his bachelor's degree in broadcasting and mass communication from SUNY Oswego on May 18, will transition into a full-time position supporting his alma mater after graduation.

Edic's new job will keep him on the SUNY Oswego campus as associate director of communication for alumni and development. He will put his degree to work creating video and multimedia content, while maintaining and expanding the operation's social media and web presence.

"I learned so much in classes about video production and public speaking, through getting involved with the college TV station WTOP and the Lewis B. O'Donnell Media Summit, and interning at 'The Late Show with David Letterman,'" Edic said.

He advises current and future students to "do as much as you can, as fast as you can. Find something that interests you."

He had so many great things to say about Oswego that he convinced his sister Rachel, a technology education major, and brother Charles, a technology management major, to also attend the college on the shores of Lake Ontario.
