Resources for Prospective Employees
If you are planning to join the University community or are making a decision about doing so, you may have questions about the Potsdam or other campus areas. Quality of life is about far more than jobs or careers.
Therefore, we encourage you to learn about Potsdam housing, schools, and much more by viewing the information in the relocation section. If you are coming to the University community from outside the United States, our resources for international families provide additional details as you consider the Potsdam area.
We look forward to welcoming you to our community! To make your transition as smooth as possible, please review these resources and discuss any questions with your Talent Acquisition Manager - Patrick Smalling (psmallin@os-tw.com) or Erica Beekman (ebeekman@os-tw.com).
