“Election 2024: SUNY Oswego Students React

OSWEGO, N.Y. — It’s election season, and students on the SUNY Oswego campus are having mixed reactions. James Strain Gagnon takes a look at how students are feeling.

With the 2024 election upon us, tensions are rising between both parties. SUNY Oswego students have mixed feelings about the election this time around.

Skylar Koscinski, a junior on campus, says she will be upset if her party does not win.

  “I would be kind of upset because I feel as if we would be going backwards if not forward on what we are trying to achieve in the United States.”

Although our last election led to violence and the storming of our Capitol, junior Victoria Evanshick hopes there is no violence.

  “I hope our government does not allow it to happen. I think after the accusations put up against the candidate, I don’t think it will happen again. I am trying to go into this with high hopes, so I would hope not, but I cannot be too sure.”

No matter what party you are and the result of the election, students will be patiently awaiting the result.
