TIER stands for Talks that Inspire, Educate and Resonate. Our alumni and faculty are
the University’s greatest assets. This speaker series – with events in person and
online – leverages the intellectual prowess of our alumni and faculty so you can deepen
your understanding of topics that are front of mind in today's world.
At 5:30 p.m. EDT, Thursday, June 11, we will present "At the Top of Their Game." Although Binghamton may not readily come to mind as being a sports school, we have
a number of alumni making their mark in big-time sports. In this interactive online
event, three alumni will discuss their journeys from campus to their current roles
in professional sports, sharing their accomplishments and the impacts they are making
on their respective sports. Our speakers will be: Scott Krug '96, chief financial
officer, New York Yankees; Caitlin Nelson '13, MS '14, senior manager - team finance,
National Basketball Association; and Nick Pizzutello '10, chief operating officer,
New York Islanders. Registration will open in May.
At Homecoming 2025, we presented the program "Changing Minds About Stress: Stress Mindset, Resilience and Well-Being." Our featured speaker was Jennifer Wegmann '94, MA '01, PhD '18, lecturer of health and wellness studies and faculty-in-residence of Dickinson Community.
This presentation explored the science behind stress mindset, offering practical strategies
to reframe stress as a catalyst for growth and productivity. See the video of this TIER Talk.
