SUNY to launch SUNY Research Connect — your database to collaboration
SUNY to launch SUNY Research Connect — your database to collaboration
Later this month, the State University of New York is launching SUNY Research Connect, a portal that empowers discovery, collaboration and innovation among researchers within SUNY and beyond. SUNY Research Connect will provide a single portal with information about more than 6,500 active SUNY researchers. The portal automatically aggregates references to researchers' publications, projects and funding. It will also collect equipment profiles and enable departments to create tailored reports related to research data.
Binghamton researchers will automatically be included. In addition to automatically populated data, you (or a trusted designee) will be able to add to or update the information in the profile. You can also use the portal to find collaborators in your research area across the SUNY system.
An email directly from SUNY about how to sign in and view your profile will be delivered directly to your email in the coming days. In anticipation of questions about the project and how to best take advantage of it, the Division of Research will host office hours to provide support for this initial phase of the portal.
These will take place:
- At 9 a.m. Jan. 30, via Zoom, at: https://binghamton.zoom.us/j/98069200709?pwd=Cf62bST7Y7O6CqDOl154Td30UzfRci.1

BUAM Spring 2026 exhibitions opening Thursday
BUAM Spring 2026 exhibitions opening Thursday
Join the Binghamton University Art Museum (BUAM) for the opening of "Line, Color, Contrast: Japanese Prints", "New York Arts and Crafts" and "Drawing Connections: Frank Lloyd Wright" from 5-7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 29. The exhibitions will be on view through May 16, 2026.
Japanese woodblock prints transformed American design at the turn of the century. Nowhere is this more evident than in the Arts and Crafts Movement, which coincided with Japonisme — the widespread craze for all things Japanese. New York-based artist and art-educator Arthur Wesley Dow developed a new curriculum based on Japanese prints that emphasized line, color and contrast as the essential principles of good design. He instilled these principles in a generation of American designers who went on to define the Arts and Crafts Movement in New York and across the country. This exhibition is curated by Joseph Leach, curator of collections and exhibitions.
Also opening is "Drawing Connections: Frank Lloyd Wright". The thirty-eight original drawings displayed in this exhibition illustrate the varied range of the architect's prolific career, during which he designed over 1500 buildings and completed over 500. The drawings' beauty and technical proficiency are the result not only of Wright’s own artistic vision, but also show the contributions of many talented draftsmen and -women who worked in his office. Within these intricate surfaces, viewers can discern how Wright, his employees and his apprentices struggled to define an architecture as rich and complex as modern America itself. This exhibition is curated by Julia Walker, associate professor of art history, and students in “Rewriting Wright” (ARTH 480A). Support for this project is provided by Art Bridges.
Finally, opening in the Museum’s Lower Galleries are three exhibitions curated by students: "Why So Blue? The Influence of Chinese Blue-and-White Porcelain" curated by Sarah Lin '27, "Figures and Fragments: Collage and the Human Form" curated by Nicole Quintanilla '26, and "Japanese Card Games and the Significance of Flora" curated by Paxton “PJ” Wells '26.

Emily Culver exhibition ‘Rupture’ at Rosefsky Gallery: Jan. 22-Feb. 19
Emily Culver exhibition ‘Rupture’ at Rosefsky Gallery: Jan. 22-Feb. 19
The Department of Art and Design will host an exhibition in the Rosefsky Gallery by Emily Culver, assistant professor of jewelry and metalsmithing at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, from Jan. 22-Feb. 19.
"Rupture" presents metalsmith Emily Culver’s sculptural study of how bodies and their meanings are shaped by medical history, myth and evolving technologies. Blending anatomical suggestion with altered instruments and hybrid relics, Culver's objects blur boundaries between the mechanical and the organic. Culver re-contextualizes the body as a shifting system — one continually rewritten, destabilized and reimagined — revealing new possibilities in the moments where familiar structures begin to break apart.
All events are free and open to the public.For More Information:

On sale now: "Indigo Girls" coming in May 2026
On sale now: "Indigo Girls" coming in May 2026
On sale now! The Anderson Center for the Performing Arts presents the "Indigo Girls" at Binghamton University on May 3, 2026. The performance will be live with the Binghamton University Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Jingqi Zhu.
The power of unity, both in music and in life, has been an "Indigo Girls" calling card ever since they burst into the spotlight with their 1989 self-titled breakout album. Since then, the band has racked up a slew of Gold and Platinum records, taken home a coveted GRAMMY Award and earned the respect of high-profile peers, collaborating with artists ranging from Michael Stipe to Joan Baez. NPR’s Mountain Stage called the group “one of the finest folk duos of all time,” while Rolling Stone noted they “personify what happens when two distinct sensibilities, voices and worldviews come together to create something transcendentally its own.” The duo has balanced their long, successful musical career by supporting numerous social causes — the "Indigo Girls" don’t just talk the talk; they walk the walk.
Now, they bring their acclaimed orchestral collaboration to Binghamton, joining forces with the Binghamton University Symphony Orchestra for an evening of music that promises to be both powerful and profoundly moving.
Tickets for the general public range from $65-85, with a 10% discount for groups of 10 or more. On sale now (along with the entire 2025-26 season) through the Anderson Center Box Office, online at the link below or by calling 607-777-ARTS (2787). Upon assessment of the weather forecast 10 days out from this show, lawn seating may be made available for purchase in April 2026.For More Information:

Save time, park smarter: Quick tips to park faster and avoid delays
Save time, park smarter: Quick tips to park faster and avoid delays
Tired of circling lots? As you return to campus, Transportation and Parking Services reminds the campus community that parking on campus is busier during peak class times. There is always available space, but it is not always conveniently located near a destination. TAPS offers simple resources and options to help you park faster and avoid delays.
Park smarter with these tips:
- Check parking availability before you leave. Review the parking availability table to see which lots have open spaces and head directly to the best option. The table is updated every two hours.
- Use lots with consistent open spaces such as G1, H, M3/4, ZZ north and ZZ south.
- Take advantage of the Campus Shuttle. After parking, hop on the Campus Shuttle, which loops continuously around campus and stops at multiple locations — making it easy to get closer to your destination.
- Carpool and earn perks. Groups of three or more Bearcats with a valid permit can stop by the Info Booth or Welcome Center to receive a day pass for the Visitor Paid Lot. Commuter permit holders can also earn a one-time refund after 25 or more documented carpools.

Common scams and frauds at Binghamton University
Common scams and frauds at Binghamton University
Each semester, as members of the community return for the new term, the University Police see an increased number of fraud reports. As a proactive step, the University Police at Binghamton have compiled a list of the most common scams impacting students, faculty and staff in the community. Being properly informed is one of the most important steps in protecting yourself and those around you.
1. Sextortion Scams:
This form of extortion is more common than many realize. Due to the private and sensitive nature of these incidents, victims are often hesitant to report them to police or to disclose the occurrence to family and friends.
Sextortion involves the exploitation of sexually explicit material obtained from victims through social media platforms, group chats or online forums. Typically, it begins with a simple message that draws the victim into a seemingly casual conversation. As the conversation progresses, it may take a sexual turn, encouraging the victim to participate in sexually explicit activities during video chats or to share sexually explicit photos. Once the scammer has one or more compromising images, they begin the extortion process by threatening to send the content to the victim’s family and friends if payment is not received. It is important to note that complying with the demands does not stop the threat. In fact, the extortion is likely to continue regardless of whether payment is made. The most effective way to avoid this scam is by not sending sexually explicit content to anyone, especially if the recipient is an unknown individual.
2. Employment Scams:
The employment scam is a phishing scam encountered via the Binghamton email system. In this scam, the suspect initiates contact with potential victims via mass email. The email, which appears to have been sent from a university faculty member, poses as an advertisement for a university employment opportunity. Although the specific job advertised varies, it often revolves around a remote, part-time administrative or research assistant position offering several hundred dollars a week. When the victim responds to the job posting, the suspect proceeds to ask a series of interview questions, obtaining sensitive personal information in the process. The suspect inevitably “offers employment” and sends a fraudulent check to the victim as a proactive payment for services. The victim deposits the check into their own account and is then provided instructions, often involving the purchase of office supplies, gift cards or making payroll disbursements. The suspect then requests that the remaining funds, along with the security codes from the gift cards, be sent to them. The fraudulent check then bounces, leaving the victim responsible for the negative balance from the withdrawn funds.
There are multiple ways to protect yourself from this scam. First, treat all employment opportunities offered via email as highly suspicious. Second, if you receive a check, either digitally or physically, consult with one of the bank tellers at the Visions FCU located on the second floor of University Union West. These professionals are trained in recognizing financial scams and will be able to tell you if a check is valid.
3. Concert Ticket Scams:
University Police have seen several versions of the concert ticket scam over the past few years. While this scam is often less financially damaging than others, it can spread quickly and impact many people at once. In most cases, the scammer contacts potential victims through group messaging platforms such as GroupMe or Discord, advertising discounted concert tickets. To make the offer appear legitimate, they often share an illegally obtained Binghamton University student ID and falsely claim to be affiliated with the University.
Once a price is agreed upon, the victim is asked to send payment through Venmo and provide a copy of their own student ID to “confirm” their university affiliation. After payment is sent, the scammer keeps the money and either provides fake tickets or no tickets at all. The victim’s stolen ID is then used to continue the scam with others. It is important to understand that Venmo has a policy stating that all transactions involving concert tickets are final and non-refundable. Furthermore, never assume that an individual presenting a Binghamton ID online is affiliated with the University. This scam is effective because victims often believe they are buying tickets from other Binghamton University students.
In the unfortunate event that you fall victim to an online scam, report the incident to the University Police immediately at (607) 777-2393. Information can also be reported anonymously through the University Police website at: https://www.binghamton.edu/police/anonymous-tips.html
If you have any questions or concerns regarding these common frauds, inquiries may also be directed to Police@binghamton.edu. Educational programs covering a wide range of topics, including scams and fraud prevention, are available upon request and can be arranged using the same contact information listed above. On behalf of the University Police, have a great semester and stay safe.For More Information:

EAP and SLP Spring Hearing Clinic: Feb. 6
EAP and SLP Spring Hearing Clinic: Feb. 6
The Employee Assistance Program and the Department of Speech and Language Pathology would like to invite you to receive a complimentary hearing screening at the Spring Hearing Screening Clinic!
Do you experience challenges, such as hearing conversations but not understanding words, having trouble hearing in background noise, frequently asking others to repeat themselves, or turning the TV up louder than normal? A hearing screening is a helpful first step in taking care of your hearing and your overall health; hearing changes can be gradual and are often ignored.
Untreated hearing loss can impact overall health and lifestyle in many ways: cognitive decline, anxiety, falls and balance concerns, and tinnitus. These screenings will be conducted by interns of the Speech-Language Pathology Division, under the supervision of an audiologist.
Come to the Spring Hearing Screening Clinic from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Friday, Feb. 6, to get a free hearing screening in the C4 Multipurpose Room. You can check in at room A-F. You can also RSVP on BEngaged at the link below, but you will be asked to reserve specific time slots closer to the date of the event.For More Information:

Weekly expert alert
Weekly expert alert
New expert requests:
1. Pax Americana: The U.S. has been the world’s leading power throughout the post-World War II era. Its influence has been felt through international alliances and institutions such as NATO. Now, with President Trump pursuing foreign policy goals on a unilateral basis — notably his desire to control Greenland — traditional allies in Europe and elsewhere are concerned, with lots of speculation about their seeking some level of divorce from the U.S., to the benefit of China. Does this mean that the Pax Americana has reached its end? Or are such claims overblown?
2. Seabed mining: The Trump administration has moved to accelerate permits for deep seabed mining. The Conversation is looking for a professor or post-doc who studies seafloor minerals and can explain the volume and type of resources that are accessible, where mining is most likely to occur and whether the methods proposed today would be cost-effective.
3. Coraopolis police and federal immigration enforcement: With everything that has happened in the last week in the tiny borough of Coraopolis, people seem more confused than ever when it comes to how agreements with ICE are made with local police departments. Are small towns becoming frontline battlegrounds over trust, public safety and democratic transparency?
4. Philadelphia seniors and retirement savings: Mayor Cherelle Parker has signed a bill that will allow voters to decide whether workers should be automatically enrolled in a new city-sponsored IRA. The Conversation is looking for an expert on senior poverty and/or senior retirement savings to write about the state of retirement savings among Philly seniors, explain how this new program would work, including the pros/cons, and perhaps share existing evidence on the successes or failures of similar programs in other cities, countries, etc.
5. Pioneering Black women officials: The local team has a request from a Michigan Public Radio. They are putting together a series for Black History Month tied to the election of Mary Sheffield as mayor of Detroit, looking at pioneering Black women who served as elected officials in Michigan. One of the people they’d like to profile is Lucile Watts, the late Circuit Court judge. If you have a legal historian on record who can speak to Watts’ legacy on the bench, get in touch. Too specific? Send us your experts on the history of Black judges in Michigan.
6. Consumer protection and federal pre-emption: The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case in which the Bayer chemical company says that because federal regulators approved glyphosate (Roundup), the company shouldn’t be liable for lawsuits about the chemical’s effects. The Conversation is looking for a scholar who could explain that idea, as well as how it has played out in the past, such as with asbestos, lead pipes, DDT and perhaps even tobacco and alcohol.
7. Lüften, the art of “burping” your house: This is trending as a wellness/cleaning hack — but in Pittsburgh, it becomes a public-health and housing story: people who live in older homes, with basements, humidity, mold risk, gas appliances and winter "sealed up" living, may have more to gain from ventilation — but also more to lose on bad air days.
8. Legal sanctuary: Houses of worship have a long history of providing “sanctuary.” But to what extent, if any, is that protected by law? That question is especially timely now that the Trump administration has reversed guidelines that once restricted immigration enforcement actions in “sensitive” locations like churches. The Conversation is looking for a legal scholar who can explain the basics of what can and cannot be done in houses of worship.For More Information:

Listen to the second episode of "The Aha! Moment": "The science behind neverending movie sequels"
Take a listen to the latest episode of "The Aha! Moment", presented by Binghamton University!
You may think that the goal of movie studios is to churn out as many sequels as quickly as possible, but there's so much more strategy that goes into sequel production than what meets the eye.
In this episode, we sit down with Professor Subimal Chatterjee from the Binghamton University School of Management to explore the science behind movie sequels. Discover why studios strategically time their sequels, and learn the surprising truth about how sequels perform at the box office compared to critical reviews.

Research opportunity — "Fear of Falling in older adults and their caregivers"
Research opportunity — "Fear of Falling in older adults and their caregivers"
The purpose of this study is to understand the connection between the worry of falling and how much older adults feel they must limit their daily activities (like going out, exercising or visiting family). The goal is to use this information to develop more effective, personalized programs that help older adults stay active and independent.
The study is currently seeking subjects. The lab is recruiting older adults who meet the following criteria:
- Age: 65 years or older.
- Have fallen at least once in the last 12 months, and currently worry about falling again.
- Live in the community (not in a nursing facility).
The lab is also recruiting caregivers (age 18+) of these older adults, but our primary focus is on the older adults themselves.For More Information:

Provost Awards for Research Grants: "Artificial Intelligence and the Future of the Arts and Humanities"
Provost Awards for Research Grants: "Artificial Intelligence and the Future of the Arts and Humanities"
The Provost’s Office is accepting proposals for the 2026-27 cycle of the Provost Awards for Research Grants: Artificial Intelligence and the Future of the Arts and Humanities. The provost’s office will provide up to $100,000 annually in seed grants to support research addressing issues in a field of broad research interest. This program is designed to support individual investigators (or teams of investigators) who require seed funding ranging from $10,000 to $50,000 for travel, equipment, supplies, data acquisition, personnel or other enablers in the initiation or expansion of a research project. The 2026 topic is "Artificial Intelligence and the Future of the Arts and Humanities". The increasing use of AI tools has necessitated an understanding of how these emerging technologies shape human expression, creativity, culture and society. Binghamton University invites proposals for projects that explore AI’s potential as a tool and as a subject for critical analysis, illuminating ethical, cultural and philosophical issues while also pushing the limits of artistic practice and humanistic scholarship.
Completed packages must be submitted electronically to the Binghamton University Internal Opportunities Portal, at: https://binghamton.infoready4.com/#freeformCompetitionDetail/1996637
The proposal deadline for the program is 5 p.m. Monday, Feb. 2, 2026. If you have any questions, contact Michael Jacobson, director of the Office of Strategic Research Initiatives, at mjacobso@binghamton.edu.For More Information:

IASH Speaker Series presents "Girlfriends on the Move: Makeda Silvera and the Politics of Collaboration" Wednesday
IASH Speaker Series presents "Girlfriends on the Move: Makeda Silvera and the Politics of Collaboration" Wednesday
The IASH Speaker Series presents "Girlfriends on the Move: Makeda Silvera and the Politics of Collaboration", presented by Warren Harding of the English Department, at 11:45 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 28, in LN 1106.
How have girlfriends undergirded varying meanings for Black Caribbean women’s stories and lives in migration? In this presentation, Harding will engage Silvera’s collaborative approach to co-founding "Sister Vision: Black Women and Women of Colour Press" (1985) and editing a collection of Caribbean women domestic workers' narratives in "Silenced: Talks with Working Class Caribbean Women About Their Lives and Struggles as Domestic Workers in Canada" (1983 and 1989). Drawing upon oral interviews, archival analysis, documentary and non-fiction writing, Harding argues that these works interrupted the silencing of working-class, Caribbean, queer and women’s experiences by conjuring a collective attention to the political, imaginative and physical spaces of refuge through which these voices can be heard.For More Information:
