Students who spent their summer doing high-level research at four-year institutions, and in one case a national laboratory, had the opportunity to share their experiences during Onondaga Community College's Science Symposium. The day-long event was held September 24 at Storer Auditorium. It featured a keynote address from SUNY Binghamton's Dr. Lisa Savage and Dr. Patricia DiLorenzo, student research talks, and poster presentations which gave attendees the opportunity to visit with students individually and learn about their research.

Baseball introduced Jake Humes to Onondaga Community College. Spending time on campus sold him on beginning his college education at OCC. During 9th and 10th grades at Batavia High School he traveled to the OCC campus twice for baseball clinics. On his second visit, he started thinking seriously about becoming a Lazer. "They showed me buildings, athletic weight rooms, and I was like 'wow this is a nice place to go.' It was just two hours from home which was a good distance. Everything worked out."

When Professor Ryan Beckley dreamed up a plan to host a classic car show on the OCC campus, his goal was to increase awareness about the College’s Automotive Technology degree program. His dream came true Saturday, September 25. Hundreds of classic cars and spectators came to campus on a spectacular, sunny day for OCC’s inaugural Cruise & Views Classic Car Show presented by Bank of America. “We’re so grateful to the Central New York car community for spending part of a beautiful fall day with us on campus.
