Caitlyn Carlson, director of the Binghamton Fund, adds tags to works of art in the University Art Museum for Binghamton University’s first Tag Day, designed to engage and educate students, faculty and staff about the importance of giving back.

The University’s first Tag Day was held Feb. 27, to engage and educate students, faculty and staff about the impact of donor support across campus. The event was held to coincide with Student Engagement and Philanthropy Day, which is celebrated by more than 100 student advancement organizations around the world.

About 500 tags were placed across the Binghamton campus to visibly identify items and places that have been supported by donor gifts. Buttons indicating “I Give Back or “I Benefit” were also offered at various locations on campus.

The Binghamton Fund, Binghamton University Alumni Association, Division of Student Affairs and Student Philanthropy Committee organized the event.
