  • Lithium-ion batteries are found in many consumer e-transportation devices due to their small size, power output and versatility. Binghamton University is heavily invested in researching emerging energy storage technology related to Li-ion batteries. While our researchers are busy creating future energy solutions, consumer-grade lithium batteries are plentiful and present hazards that must be managed for the safety of all campus community members.

    All e-transportation devices powered by a lithium-ion battery such as e-bikes, e-scooters and e-hoverboards brought to, stored or charged on campus must be registered. There is no fee to do so, and the process is simple. Note that you will need to provide photos of each device and battery. You can access the registration form via phone or computer at the link below. This registration does not apply to battery-operated devices such as — but not limited to — laptops, desktop computers, iPads, tablets, cell phones, ADA Mobility Devices, etc.

    Binghamton University has established several safety guidelines for e-transportation users. To learn more about the policy, go to: https://www.binghamton.edu/operations/policies/policy-422.html

  • SUNY System Administration currently has a Garrett Lee Smith Suicide Prevention grant with the NYS Office of Mental Health. Through this grant, SUNY offers free access to "Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR) Suicide Prevention Gatekeeper" training to students, faculty, staff and other SUNY community members. The training is free until May 31.

    QPR is an evidence-based emergency mental health intervention for people at risk of suicide. The goal of QPR is to recognize a suicide crisis, interrupt it and direct the person to appropriate care.

    Like CPR, QPR works to increase an at-risk individual's chance of survival. People trained in QPR are taught to recognize the warning signs of suicide, which include depression, expressions of hopelessness and talk of suicide. Participants are then taught how to respond.

    The training course only takes an hour and could help save a life. If you are interested in becoming certified in QPR, follow the below instructions:

    1. Follow the link below,
    2. Type in "SUNY" for the organization code;
    3. Click "Create Training Account";

  • Binghamton University Acres Farm is looking for summer interns interested in sustainable agriculture. Students who participate in the internship will be given a broad introduction to plant-based agriculture. They will gain practical hands-on experience growing fruit and vegetables at the Farm on Bunn Hill Road. They will be introduced to the theories that have motivated the organic movement, and learn why sustainable agricultural businesses feel the need to differentiate themselves from modern traditional agricultural practices in the market. In addition to planning and managing Acres Farm, interns will also attend various working field trips to several farms in the area that exemplify a greater variety of crops and livestock. It will also offer a deeper understanding of the agricultural and financial context that producers of merit are working within. Interns will also host community groups on the farm. All the produce grown at Acres Farm is donated to the Binghamton University Food Pantry. Environmental studies students can receive academic credit through the Environmental Studies Department.

    Interns must provide their own transportation to and from the Farm. The internship requires 140 hours of work over 10 weeks. Interns should expect to average working 14 hours a week on the Farm or at farms we are visiting, including but not limited to:

    - Maintaining the Acres Garden: seeding, weeding, transplanting, harvesting, mulching, etc.
    - Attending field trips to other farms of merit in the area
    - Working at other farms of merit in the area
    - Turning and cycling compost
    - Working with other agriculturally based community groups

    This internship will take place in most weather conditions unless it is unsafe or soil conditions are impractical. Interns should be prepared to work in the heat and in the rain.

    In addition to the work outlined above, interns will be asked to complete a 15-page paper to tend to the academic component of the internship, due at the end of the summer. The time spent on the paper does not count towards the 140 hours. Learn more at the link below.

    To apply send your resume and cover letter to jfinkel4@binghamton.edu. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis.

    To donate, take a look at MOP's accepted items list, at: moveoutproject.org/donate/accepted-items

    • Volunteer

  • The Binghamton Move Out Project (MOP) is looking for volunteers to help with their annual Spring Move Out donation initiative. Volunteers are needed for collecting, sorting and distributing the items from May 6 until the end of May. Volunteer shifts are flexible.

    MOP is an official project of the Susquehanna Group of the Sierra Club and is entirely volunteer-run. Each spring, MOP collects items from students moving out of their college housing and donates them to various nonprofit organizations in the Greater Binghamton area with the goal of diverting waste from the landfill and giving back to the community.

    In 2023, the 18,795 pounds that MOP collected from Binghamton University students was donated to over 25 local nonprofits, schools and churches. This year, the team has a goal of collecting 25,000 pounds of items for donation.

    Those who are interested can fill out the volunteer form at the link below, or contact binghamtonmoveout@gmail.com for more information.
