Carol Bradlinski-Watros has been appointed to SUNY Oswego’s College Council by New York State 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 of Mexico received her master’s in counseling services from SUNY Oswego in 1988.
Her career was spent in Oswego County schools: at CITI as well as in the Hannibal and Central Square districts. She also spent several years in roles at Madison-Oneida BOCES, Jefferson-Lewis BOCES and Syracuse University.
Now in her retirement, Bradlinski-Watros has committed her time to serving the 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.
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 in psychology and developmental disabilities from SUNY Brockport.
“Carol brings to the college council a wealth of experience and expertise,” said SUNY Oswego College Council President James McMahon. “We look forward to having her as a member of the college council. Our main mission is to add value to this great organization.”
