Office of Student Creative Activity and Research (OSCAR)
The mission of the Office of Student Creative Activity and Research (OSCAR) is to promote and support student scholarly activity and creative work across the SUNY Fredonia campus.
Welcome to the Office of Student Creative Activity and Research (OSCAR) webpage. The links listed on the left contain information about opportunities for student research and creative activity at Fredonia, as well as information relevant to students and faculty mentors.
The mission of the Office of Student Creative Activity and Research is to promote and support student scholarly activity, applied learning, and creative work across disciplines.
These opportunities are integral to the high-impact teaching and learning experiences promoted at SUNY Fredonia. During these experiences, students partner with faculty mentors and develop skills, knowledge, and dispositions that will benefit them in the future. Such interactions are valuable and, for that reason, Fredonia makes a concerted effort to promote such collaborations.
Activities coordinated by the office include the annual Student Research and Creativity Exposition (OSCAR Expo) and support for travel for students’ participation at professional events including conferences, exhibits seminars, and workshops. The Office of Student Creative Activity and Research office is part of Academic Affairs and its mission is to promote and provide students with a variety of research, scholarly, and creative opportunities across all academic disciplines. The office was established in 2006 by the founding director, Dr. Jack Croxton.
