Binghamton Road Map

Road Map to Premier A strategic plan for our future

In 2013, Binghamton University published its Road Map to Premier strategic plan. We chose a combination of methods developed and used by other universities, government agencies, corporations and small community groups to build our Road Map with the assistance of more than 400 volunteers from the campus and community. Beginning with a broad goal in mind — making Binghamton University the premier public university of the 21st century — we established a timeline and a general process that would involve people from across campus and from the community. The plan was updated in 2017, through the Road Map Renewal, which again included input from all stakeholders. This year we are once again calling for new ideas and new proposals.

Strategic Priorities

Call for new proposals

Over the years we have used the Road Map Strategic Plan to guide investments, decisions, and priorities. In prior years we have asked for investment ideas from members of the Road Map Steering Committee as well as the campus community at large.  This year, the Road Map Steering Committee is soliciting proposals from faculty, staff and students. Proposals are due on February 15.

Proposed projects must be related to one goal and at least one metric. Proposals will be reviewed by the Strategic Priority subcommittees. Proposal writers are not expected to be the implementers of the proposed projects. We look forward to hearing your ideas for any part of the university community. Student proposals, when kept to a maximum of $10,000, will be evaluated separately from other proposals. Proposals are limited to $200,000 in one-time money (to be spent within the first two years) and $75,000 in base funds.

In addition to identifying the SP, goal, and metric(s) related to your proposal, you will be asked for a maximum 300-word project description, the short-, medium- and long-term outcomes of the proposed activity and how they relate to the goal identified, and the total number of people who are expected to benefit directly from the proposed activity. Before you submit using the below Google Form, please make sure that you review the Road Map website.

If you have any questions about the proposal process, please contact Pam Mischen (pmischen@binghamton.edu). You may also reach out to the SP co-chairs to discuss your ideas in advance.
