  • "Mountains and Water: Traditions in East Asian Art": Sept. 3–Dec. 12

    Join the Binghamton University Art Museum (BUAM) for the opening of the fall 2026 exhibitions! "Mountains and Water: Traditions in East Asian Art" will be on view from Thursday, Sept. 3, to Saturday, Dec. 12, at the Binghamton University Art Museum.

    Mountains and water are at the heart of East Asian arts and culture. They form an essential framework for engaging with the natural world and understanding people’s place within it. This exhibition explores the wide-ranging significance, symbolism, and sacrality of mountains and water in China, Korea, and Japan. It considers landscapes and scholar’s stones as both scholastic objects of aesthetic consideration and supernatural sites of cosmic power. Generous support and donations for this exhibition were provided by John C. Copoulos ’73. The exhibition is curated by Joseph Leach, curator of collections and exhibitions.

    Also open are two exhibitions curated by students: "Capturing Music: Material Culture and Changing Notations in Medieval Music" and "Frames Within Frames: Intimacy through Visual Exchange." A final exhibition, "Hands ON! Experiencing Art through Touch," is curated by Amanda Jean Lynn, manager of education and visitor experience, and builds on the accessible programming begun in the 2025–26 academic year.

    All exhibitions are on view through Saturday, Dec. 12. For details on upcoming programs, see the events page and social media at the link below. All events are free and open to the public.

  • Health insurance waiver deadline: Sept. 29

    Binghamton University is committed to maintaining a healthy campus community. As part of that commitment, all international and domestic full-time students must have active health insurance coverage each academic year.

    Even if a student has submitted a waiver in a previous year, they must complete a new waiver request each academic year to avoid being automatically enrolled and billed for the University-sponsored plan. Waiver requests must be submitted by Tuesday, Sept. 29.
