OSWEGO — Carol Bradlinski-Watros, of nearby Mexico, has been appointed to SUNY Oswego’s College Council by New York Gov. Kathy Hochul for a seven-year term. The College Council is mandated by New York State Education Law, which provides for the establishment of a local council to supervise the operations and affairs of each state-operated institution of the state university. Bradlinski-Watros, who received her master’s degree in counseling services from SUNY Oswego in 1988, has dedicated many years to serving students and her fellow educators as a school counselor, career-development specialist, community-services coordinator, and transition specialist. She has spent most of her career in Oswego County schools: at CITI, as well as in the Hannibal and Central Square school districts. Bradlinski-Watros also worked for several years in roles at Madison-Oneida BOCES, Jefferson-Lewis BOCES, and Syracuse University. Now retired, Bradlinski-Watros has committed her time to serving the town of Mexico community, where she moved 30 years ago. She serves on the board of directors for the Mexico Public Library, coordinates the outreach committee for her church, and volunteers at a local thrift shop, which supports the community’s food pantry. She is also the office manager for Mexico’s Kellogg Memorials, where she lends her compassion to grieving families. In addition to her degree from SUNY Oswego, Bradlinski-Watros also holds a certificate in advanced studies in educational leadership from SUNY Cortland and a bachelor’s degree in psychology and developmental disabilities from SUNY Brockport. Bradlinski-Watros, who had a one-on-one meeting with SUNY Oswego President Nwosu, participated in her first College Council meeting on July 29. Each state-operated campus of the SUNY system has a College Council, appointed by the governor. These councils function subject to the general management, supervision, and control of, and in accordance with rules established by the State University Trustees.
