A Thank You from Civic Engagement

Posted on October 17, 2013 by sunyoswegoce

I want to first thank the panel, for they were the ones taking time out of their day to educate the students, who I would also like to thank. Without student interest, this event would not have been possible. Your drive to learn more about our community and the governing bodies involved which keep us safe is an important part of building a positive environment for everyone.

Finally, I want to thank the organizations who play even a minor role in making this a successful event. The Political Science and Public Justice clubs, Student Association, The Oswegonian, WTOP, the Public Justice, Political Science, and Communication departments, The Compass, Phi Sigma Sigma, Students For Global Change, The Office of Business and Community Relations, The Public Relations Office, The Point and Student Involvement, and WRVO.

The event was everything we planned and more. We were happy to see students asking important questions during the event, voicing concerns. But, the best part was watching students interact with the panel members after the event was over.

For pictures from last night check back here or on our Facebook page (facebook.com/sunyoswegocivicengagement) in the next couple of days. We hope to keep the ball rolling with more events and collaborative efforts to educate everyone in the near future, so stay tuned!

Have an idea for an event or want to collaborate? Email us at Civic@oswego.edu. We would love to hear from you.

Learning About the Affordable Care Act:

Posted on October 2, 2013 by sunyoswegoce

Whether you’re for or against it, the Affordable Care Act is here. Wondering what is all means? Here’s some information and links we received in an email from our friends at Rock the Vote.

“We get it. The Affordable Care Act (aka “Obamacare”) is confusing, and it doesn’t help that everybody and their mother has a different opinion about it. So here are the important facts you need to know:

  • Are you under 26? You can stay on your parents’ health insurance. No sweat!
  • Do you have a job? Your employer might have healthcare benefits available. Check to see if this is an option.
  • Are you older than 26 and do not have healthcare through work? You can now enroll at www.healthcare.gov (and at a competitive price too!).
  • Opting out? Starting next year, you will have to pay a penalty for not having health insurance. The penalty starts small, but will increase gradually over the next few years.

Over 19 million Americans ages 18-34 do not have health coverage. Don’t be a statistic. Enroll today and #GetCovered.

If you have questions, our friends at Young Invincibles have your back: Read up on some Healthcare FAQs.

Sincerely,

Heather”
