OSWEGO, NY (Jan. 14, 2022) – SUNY Oswego announced today that the appointment of Interim Executive Director of Enrollment Management Joel Wincowski is being extended through June 2023.

As Oswego’s chief enrollment officer, Wincowski will continue to be responsible for coordinating ongoing recruitment and retention strategies and initiatives across all facets of the university. He is also leading the college’s current search for a Director of Admissions. 

“SUNY Oswego has already benefited from Joel’s 20-year track record in growing student enrollment and implementing effective enrollment strategies,” said SUNY Oswego Officer-in-Charge Dr. Mary C. Toale. “He stepped in and immediately brought colleagues and offices together this fall to develop and implement a bold enrollment marketing campaign, which has resulted in broadened exposure for SUNY Oswego and a measurable increase in applications received over last year.  We are thrilled Joel will continue in this role and remain focused on Oswego‘s commitment to inclusive excellence.”
