BY KYLE KOCAN -- (ONEONTA, NY)

Debbie Sperano has worked on the SUNY Oneonta campus in the Netzer Administration Building since 1996 which in total is roughly twenty years.  In the past Debbie attended SUNY Oneonta  as a student receiving an Early Childhood Education degree and was a resident hall director.  She started to work in the admissions department and stayed there until graduating.  Debbie who grew up in the area of Oneonta has felt always a close connection to Oneonta. After finishing Oneonta she briefly went to West Virginia University in order to obtain her masters degree but realized she wanted to stay close to home.  After deciding to come back to Oneonta and obtain her masters degree she started to work in the registrars office where she quickly got hooked.  In her own words she said that her job would be described as "we service two communities, one faculty and staff and the other students...my position services mostly to students here on campus." Debbie decided that she wanted to continue her career working in the registrars office helping students with scheduling classes and any problems with scheduling.

If you ever call the registrar's office Debbie is the one who will assist you in your problems with scheduling classes, adding or dropping classes, and even applying for graduation.  She or one of her staff are the ones who will overlook your transcript to make sure you have earned enough credits and taken enough credits in your major.  She stated that "I love to work with the students because they keep me up to date with what's going on around campus."

Debbie went on to explain that her schedule is based off the academic schedule here at the school.  "Last Monday started pre-enrollment, so last week and this week will be really busy for us" Sperano said.  She also talked about how she loves interacting with the students and helping them with any of their scheduling problems.  If you have any problems with your schedule, I would recommended setting up a meeting with Debbie in order to find a solution to your problems.  She is very flexible but by a slim chance she is not free than some of her staff are there to assist you with your problems.
