DEVELOPING LEADERS
Binghamton University is charting a path to becoming the premier public university of the 21st century, and it will take leadership to achieve its goals. The Division of Administration is launching a pilot program to develop the next level of leaders. Read about the pilot and other administration initiatives here.
ON THE ROAD TO PREMIER
The Division of Academic Affairs has a lot on its plate as the University prepares to launch its Road Map strategic plan. In this quarter’s report, you will read about the division’s ambitious goals for the future, a few of its active and successful faculty and students, and some of the reasons we can be proud of our contributions to Binghamton University.
MOVING AT TOP SPEED
Slowing down is not an option for the Division of External Affairs, even in the dead of winter. Whether it’s hosting Winter Madness, re-launching alumni chapters, strategizing with the Foundation Board or improving Binghamton University’s Web presence, everyone in the division was working at full speed.
SUCCESS IS CONTAGIOUS
A new Binghamton University study has found that academic success is infectious. News of this finding by faculty researcher Hiroki Sayama and some high school-aged collaborators has spread around the world. This spring, the University hopes to spread something a little different: Excitement about research. Binghamton Research Days will be celebrated in April, with a national speaker, laboratory tours and student poster sessions headlining the lineup.
WE'RE HERE FOR STUDENTS
What we do improves the quality of life for our students and helps them achieve their goals. Read here about how we work to help students prepare for their careers, how we are improving our Binghamton Enrichment Program, how popular Late Nite has become and how we have been recognized for our community service. And that’s just the start.
ATHLETICS MAKE AN IMPACT
Whether it’s on the fields, courts or mats; in the classroom; or out in the community, Binghamton University’s student-athletes are making a difference. Read here about the many ways they excel and give back – and about new fight song!
We’re tops on Facebook
Binghamton University’s social media presence has grown rapidly over the past two months. The University’s Facebook page is averaging 100 new likes per day, with 200,000 to 300,000 Facebook users per week, and recently broke the 20,000 Likes mark – the first SUNY institution to do so. The universities at Albany, Stony Brook and Buffalo currently trail Binghamton by 1,000, 2,000 and 7,000 Likes, respectively. In addition, to help social media administrators across campus take advantage of social media tools, the Office of Communications and Marketing has assembled a user group of social media administrators who will meet monthly to discuss best practices.
