  • Parking on campus during snowfall

    TAPS reminds the campus community that, even during snowfall, vehicles are prohibited from parking in commuter lots between midnight and 5 a.m. In addition, the Visitor's Paid Lot and Lot LT must be empty between 5-7 a.m. if the green light is on. These rules are in place for snow removal purposes.

    Vehicles parked in commuter lots during these times will be ticketed and towed at the owner's expense. If you need to leave your car on campus overnight, there are 24-hour “R” lots available for parking. See the parking map for 24-hour “R” lot locations.

  • Incident reporting

    We want to inform and remind you of a principle that serves as an essential element of our community.

    Every member of the campus community has a unique perspective on their place in the world and must be allowed the space and freedom to express that perspective safely and respectfully. Our community thrives when we treat and respond to one another’s ideas with civility.

    Our community condemns racism, hatred or bigotry. This includes Islamophobia, antisemitism and threats or insults directed at individuals or groups based on race, color, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, ability status, political affiliation or other traits.

    Anyone who has experienced or witnessed an act of hate, bias or discrimination should submit a bias incident report at the link below. The University takes all incident reports seriously and investigates them thoroughly. The University Counseling Center (UCC), the Dean of Students Office, the CARE Team and the University Ombudsman, at ombudsman@binghamton.edu, can also offer support. Anyone who needs immediate assistance should contact University Police at (607) 777-2222.

  • FRI's Summer 2025 research opportunities

    Are you interested in getting involved in research and maybe even doing research this summer at Binghamton? If so, the First-year Research Immersion (FRI) program has summer research opportunities that might be right for you!

    The FRI summer programs provide science and engineering students with a one-of-a-kind research experience. Working alongside faculty and fellow students on cutting-edge research projects, you'll tackle weighty world issues, build powerful relationships and set a course for college and career success. This year, the FRI program will be running its signature summer program, the Summer Research Immersion (SRI) program, along with the Fast-Track Research Immersion (FtRI) program.


    For Summer 2025, SRI will be running research in our Clean Energy (chemistry and physics) stream. Participants will spend the summer researching clean energy technologies and gain valuable experience and knowledge. SRI will run for ten weeks (Summer Sessions I & III, May 27-Aug. 1), and consist of two courses (Research Stream I CHEM 211 and II courses CHEM 311/PHYS 335, eight credits total).

    Additionally, FtRI will be running research in our Environmental Visualization research stream. Participants will spend summer session 1 conducting collaborative research in this discipline. FtRI will run for 5 weeks during Summer Session 1 (May 30-June 30) and consist of one course (Research Stream I course, four credits). Following successful completion of FtRI, student researchers will be enrolled in the Fall 2025 FRI course (Research Stream II course, four credits) to complete the FRI program alongside current FRI students in the Environmental Visualization stream.

    Opportunities after these programs include continued research in faculty laboratories, industry internships and national fellowships. Both programs are competitive, application-based programs and will accept a limited number of students for the summer.

    More detailed information about programs, including a video explanation for these courses and the process of applying or registering, can be found at: https://www.binghamton.edu/first-year-research-immersion/sri/index.html

    Applications for SRI will open on Wednesday, Jan. 15, and will operate on a rolling admission with initial application review beginning March 3. The application deadline for SRI is April 6.
