This policy applies to the entire University community and is applicable 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

    The University is committed to supporting all students and employees who wish to stop using tobacco products.

  • Pocket Opera Project: May 9

    University composers will premiere pocket-sized operas, transforming stories written by local students into new works for the stage and performed by Tri-Cities Opera's resident artists.

    The Pocket Opera Project is telling stories with a distinct new voice! Local elementary and middle school students have been selected to have their story submissions transformed into mini-operas in collaboration with composers at Binghamton University. These incredible “pocket operas” come with big theatrical moments and tell deeply human stories filled with adventure, tragedy, and magic!

    K-12 students who would like a chance to see their story transformed into a “pocket opera” in 2027 are encouraged to enter the WSKG Student Writing Competition by May 1, 2026.

    This event will take place from 3-4:30 p.m. Saturday, May 9, in the Tri-Cities Opera Center. Ticketing is available at: https://www.tricitiesopera.com/pop/

Career Development

  • Over $300,000 in internship funding available now

    The Fleishman Career Center is committed to removing financial barriers that may prevent students from pursuing valuable internship opportunities. If you have financial needs and have secured an internship, you may be eligible for internship funding.

    Applications for internship funding opened on Monday, March 16. They are reviewed on a rolling basis. Learn more about each of the internship funding opportunities at the link below.

    During the summer of 2025, the Fleishman Career Center distributed $203,324 in internship funding, enabling 129 students to complete meaningful, high-impact internship experiences. This year, over $300,000 in funding will be available across multiple internship funding opportunities.

    To apply for internship funding, students must be currently matriculated at Binghamton University, have a SSN or ITIN, complete the FAFSA demonstrating financial need, and have received an internship offer. Some funds may include additional requirements such as major restrictions, class year preferences, or GPA considerations. Each fund has a slightly different application process, but most applications require an "Internship Expense Budget Worksheet" and may request additional materials. Funding is competitive, and not all applicants will receive an award.

    Note that this is a competitive application process, and not all applicants will receive funding, even if they meet all eligibility criteria for that fund. Preference will be given to students who have not received funding before.

    Looking for an internship? The Fleishman Career Center is here to help. Schedule an appointment with a career consultant for support with your search strategy, applications, and outreach. You can also stop by for a drop-in from noon to 4 p.m. Monday-Friday for quick questions and guidance.

Sustainability

  • Donate to the Binghamton Move Out Project (MOP)

    If you’re moving when the semester ends, don’t throw away the stuff you can’t take with you — The Binghamton Move Out Project (MOP) makes donating your items easy!

    MOP is a volunteer-run initiative aimed at diverting waste from the landfill and giving back to the community during Spring move-out. MOP collects and donates items from students moving out of their college housing to local community charities. Last year, the team was able to divert over 34,000 pounds of waste from the landfill, including clothes, non-perishable food, books, electronics, and more!

    How to donate:
    - Drop off at a bin: From May 4-19, there will be bins located at the following locations: C4 Upstairs Hallway, CIW Iroquois Commons, Appalachian Dining Hall, Hinman Dining Hall, Hillside Commons, Susquehanna Coffee House, and the University Union. Students can drop their items in a bin at any time when the buildings are open.

    - Drop off at an outdoor collection site: From 2-5 p.m. May 13-14, and from 8-10 a.m. Friday, May 15, there will be six outdoor collection stations on campus: outside of the CIW and Hinman dining halls, one on the Dickinson quad, one in Old Dickinson in the grass between the building entrance and Lot B, one in front of Windham, and one in Newing between Delaware and Broome, in the Southeast corner of Broome.

    - Sign up for a pick-up or drop-off appointment from May 11-31 (off-campus students only). Once MOP receives your submission, the team will assign one of the volunteers to pick up your items or arrange for you to drop the items off at the sorting room. The form can be found at: tinyurl.com/DonateMOP2026

    NOTE: You must sign up at least three days in advance to guarantee a pick-up.

    Don’t forget to review the accepted items list. While MOP accepts most everything, the team can only accept what can be donated to donation partners, so it's important to review this closely before donating: moveoutproject.org/donate/accepted-items

    Connect with MOP at moveoutproject.org, by phone at 607-252-6671, or via email at binghamtonmoveout@gmail.com. Follow MOP on Instagram at instagram.com/bingmoveoutproject, or on Facebook at facebook.com/binghamtonmoveout
