Ryan Dadey volunteers in SUNY Oswego's Alternative Winter Break program

2017 Feb 24

Ryan Dadey of East Syracuse, a graduate student business administration major at SUNY Oswego, volunteered with Project Lazarus - New Orleans as part of the college's Alternative Winter Break service program. He worked with Project Lazarus, a nonprofit organization located in New Orleans that provides transitional housing to people living with HIV/AIDS.

SUNY Oswego's Office of Community Services offers Oswego students many different opportunities to volunteer and travel during Alternative Breaks in winter and spring. Ranging from international to local trips, these breaks allow students to explore while volunteering at a variety of different sites.

Dozens of students volunteered in January for Habitat for Humanity of Omaha, Nebraska; Hardin County Habitat for Humanity, Elizabethtown, Kentucky; Project Lazarus - New Orleans; and Hope House, Memphis, Tennessee.

Admission to SUNY Oswego is competitive. U.S. News Media Group counts SUNY Oswego among the top public regional universities in the North for 2017, and the Princeton Review includes Oswego in its 2017 college guidebook "The Best Northeastern Colleges" and in its national list of "Green Colleges."

A 156-year-old comprehensive college in the State University of New York system, Oswego enrolls about 8,000 students in its College of Liberal Arts and Sciences; School of Business; School of Communication, Media and the Arts; and School of Education.
