  • President Harvey Stenger invites members of the University community to nominate individuals to be considered for honorary degrees for the 2023-2024 academic year. To begin the process on campus, submit nominations to your dean (or directly to the president if you are not affiliated with one of the schools) by Friday, March 31.

    Our campus nominations are considered sequentially by the President’s Honorary Degree Advisory Committee, the SUNY Chancellor, the SUNY Honorary Degree Committee and the SUNY Board of Trustees.

    In choosing your nominees, keep in mind the criteria of the Board of Trustees that honorary degrees are awarded "(a) to recognize excellence and extraordinary achievement in the fields of public affairs, the sciences, humanities and the arts, scholarship and education, business and philanthropy, and social services, which exemplify the mission and purpose of the University; (b) to honor meritorious and outstanding service to the University, the State of New York, the United States or to humanity at large; (c) to recognize individuals whose lives and significant achievements should serve as examples of the University's aspirations for its students." Furthermore, the person's achievements must be both relevant and appropriate to the nominating campus. Therefore, nominees with a connection to the campus or a member of the University community are preferred.

    Follow these guidelines in making your recommendations:

    1. Submit a letter of nomination to the president through your dean (or directly to the president if you are not associated with a school). Describe why the nominee's distinction or eminence in his or her field of endeavor justifies the awarding of an honorary degree and state how the nominee's achievements are relevant to our campus. If you have detailed information about the nominee's accomplishments (vitae or Who's Who entry), forward this as well. Again, the deadline for submission is Friday, March 31.

    2. Maintain complete confidentiality regarding the nomination. The nominee especially should not know that his or her name has been submitted.

    3. According to Board of Trustee policies, no one already holding an honorary degree from any SUNY institution is eligible to receive another one. If you would like to check in advance regarding an individual's eligibility or have other questions concerning criteria and process, contact Pamela Mischen, faculty advisor to the president.

  • Each year, the University Award for Excellence in International Education recognizes a member of Binghamton University's faculty or staff for outstanding efforts in support of the university's longstanding commitment to internationalization.

    Eligibility

    Both faculty and staff from Binghamton University are eligible to be nominated for this award. However, previous recipients of Chancellor's or University Awards whose outstanding contributions to international education were cited as grounds for their selection should not be nominated for this award.

    Selection Process

    A Selection Committee shall be appointed, comprised of faculty, staff, and students. The selection criteria for the University Award for Excellence in International Education will consist of measures of the quality, quantity, and impact of an individual's efforts in bringing an international perspective to the university's curricular, co-curricular, and research activities. These criteria will include an evaluation of the nominee's contribution in some or all of the following categories, and other contributions will also be considered on a case-by-case basis.

    Contributions

    Development of international partnerships: Examples of contributions in this category may include the identification, initiation, growth, and development of sustainable academic collaborations with new international partners, actively participating in the growth of existing academic (international) partnerships, fostering the exchange of scholars, development of research collaborations, or obtaining external funding for projects.

    International learning: Examples of contributions in this category may include teaching highly successful courses with an international focus; injecting significant and effective international perspectives into courses that might otherwise lack international content; creating or enhancing successful internationally-related academic programs (e.g., area studies, international concentration within a major); designing a successful new academic program with an international focus, or infusing international research into an academic program.
    Education abroad activities: Examples of contributions in this category may include administering a successful existing education-abroad program; designing a successful new education-abroad program; or providing effective preparation or follow-through for students participating in education-abroad programs.

    Co-curricular international activities: Examples of contributions in this category may include designing a successful new mechanism for extracurricular internationalization (events, programs, services, etc.) or providing exemplary service to international students or scholars, whether or not such service is the focus of the nominee's responsibilities.

    Nomination Procedures

    The dossier must include a letter of nomination (which may be individually or jointly written) detailing the nominee's contribution to international education as outlined above, plus any other efforts the nominator(s) believe(s) have contributed to Binghamton's goal of becoming a fully internationalized institution. This letter must be accompanied by the nominee's resume or curriculum vitae and at least four additional letters of support written by people personally knowledgeable about the nominee's internationalizing efforts. These letters may be individually or jointly written. Nominators are urged to obtain letters documenting the full range and impact of the nominee's contributions. Additional materials (program descriptions, publications, reports, statistics, etc.) are not required but should be submitted as appropriate to support the nomination.

    Submission

    Nomination dossiers should be submitted electronically to the Vice Provost of International Education and Global Affairs Madhusudhan Govindaraju, no later than Monday, April 17, 2023.

  • To the Campus Community,

    Ramadan marks the Islamic month of fasting and the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar. The month is 29 or 30 days, depending on the sighting of the moon. During this month, Muslims around the world abstain from eating and drinking (including water) from dawn until sunset. This is a time marked by worship, spiritual reflection and community.

    Ramadan 2023 is commenced on the evening of Wednesday, March 22, and ends on the evening of Friday, April 21 (exact dates may vary by one or two days depending on the sighting of the moon).

    Here are a few things to keep in mind:

    • Practicing Muslims will fast from dawn until dusk.
    • Fasting means no food and no water.
    • Ramadan celebration often involves prayers late into the night and it is not unusual to be up past midnight and get up around 5 a.m. to eat and pray before dawn.
    • Muslim students may be hungry, tired and dehydrated by the afternoon, which may impact their academic performance.
    • Consider giving students options or accommodations for exams that take place or are due in the afternoon or at dusk.
    • If an evening class falls during the time of iftar (breaking of fast at sunset), please consider providing a short break for Muslim students to be able to eat and drink at that time.
    • Recognize that Muslims are a very heterogeneous group and therefore not all Muslims observe Ramadan the same way. There is no one-size-fits-all response to supporting Muslim students and staff. When unsure, just ask.
    • At the end of the month of Ramadan, Muslims celebrate Eid Al Fitr and are entitled to a holiday. Please accommodate requests for missing classes or time off from work.

    We take pride in supporting all members of our community. Please take this opportunity to continue to uphold our mission of inclusion by supporting and respecting the Muslim members of our community.

    You can find additional information regarding Ramadan at the link below.

    Let’s wish the Binghamton University community, friends and family Ramadan Mubarak.

    Sincerely,
    Donald Hall
    Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost

    Karen Jones
    Vice President for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

  • The Lois B. DeFleur Academic Prize is given to a faculty member or a group of faculty for an achievement that increases Binghamton University’s reputation for excellence, innovation and collaborative endeavors.

Nominations should include a description of the achievement and its demonstrable recognition.

    These flexible funds are intended to enhance the awardees’ teaching, research and/or service activities and, thereby, further the University’s mission.

  • Since its inception in 2018, the Professional Staff Senate’s Evaluation Coordinating Committee has solicited feedback and recommendations from staff in our surveys. More than once we’ve heard the suggestion for 360 evaluations, so now we are answering. The goal here is not to think of assessment as have or have-not, or something that comes around once a year. We all have strengths and areas for growth, and this evaluation is about authentic feedback, growth and continuous improvement.

    The process includes:
    • an initial evaluation
    • a formal debrief from a leadership fellow (May 17, 2023)
    • six cohort meetings for professional development during the 2023-2024 academic year
    • a follow-up evaluation in approximately 18 months

    New in 2023, we are opening the 360 evaluation process up in two ways: applicants do not need to be supervisors to participate (just need some leadership role or aspirations) and we now offer the ability to nominate someone else for the process.

    Applications are now open and will be open until April 5. Visit the link below to apply.

  • As warmer weather approaches, motorists should take extra care by watching for pedestrians and bicyclists. Bicyclists should always ride with traffic and obey all traffic control devices (stop signs, traffic lights) . Pedestrians should walk against traffic and use crosswalks and sidewalks if possible.

    Drivers should also remember these tips:

    • Yield to bicyclists as you would motorists and do not underestimate their speed. This will help avoid turning in front of a bicyclist traveling on the road or sidewalk, often at an intersection or driveway.
    • In parking lots or at stop signs, search your surroundings for other vehicles, including bicycles.
    • Drivers turning right on red should look to the right and behind to avoid hitting a bicyclist approaching from the right rear. Stop completely and look left-right-left and behind before turning.
    • Obey the speed limit, reduce speed for road conditions and drive defensively to avoid a crash with a cyclist or pedestrian.
    • Give cyclists room. Do not pass too closely. Pass bicyclists as you would any other vehicle — when it’s safe to move over into an adjacent lane.

  • Visiting Film/Video Artist & Speakers Series Spring 2023 presents
    Larry Gottheim: Selected Works in person at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 28, in LH-6. TRT is 84 minutes. Note the starting time is different from the usual starting time.

    Program: Natural Selection (16mm, color, sound, 35 min., 1983) / Knot/not (video, color, sound, 22 min., 2019) / Entanglement (video, color, sound, 27 min., 2022). TRT 84 min.

    Gottheim is a key figure in the history and development of American avant-garde cinema through the 1970s and 1980s. From his late-1960s series of sublime ‘single-shot’ films to the dense sound/image constructs of the mid-1970s and after, his
    cinema is the cinema of presence, of observation, and of deep conscious engagement. While addressing genres of landscape, diary, and assemblage filmmaking, Gottheim’s work properly stands alone in its intensive investigations of the paradoxes between direct, sensual experience in collision with complex structures of repetition, anticipation, and memory. Gottheim founded the Department of Cinema at Binghamton University
    and taught there until 1998. In the 1990s Gottheim also served for a brief time as director of the Filmmaker’s Co-op in New York. Gottheim’s films are in the collections of museums and archives throughout the world, and a program of his restored early films
    premiered at the 2005 New York Film Festival.

  • IASH Fellow Carl Gelderloos, associate professor of German and Russian studies, will speak on “Modernism, Modernization, and Science Fiction in Bernhard Kellermann's The Tunnel (1913)” at noon Wednesday, March 29, in LN-1106.

    This paper builds on recent research in literary studies that places science fiction and modernism in closer dialogue with each other. In particular, this paper identifies Bernhard Kellermann’s 1913 novel, which narrates the engineer Mac Allen’s endeavor to build a railway tunnel under the Atlantic Ocean between Europe and America, as an ambiguous fantasy of modernization. The protagonist and his Herculean task are paradigmatic of the genre of the Ingenieurroman (“engineers’ novel” or “novel of engineering”): the tunnel is a symbol of technological verve and of the utopian aspirations of modernity, and Mac Allen himself represents the heroic engineer whose willpower is able to deal with any obstacle, from a restive labor force, to the devious machinations of global capital, to technical setbacks. Yet from another perspective, Der Tunnel depicts modernity as a utopian projection and aspiration that can never be realized. In the novel’s play of temporalities, of acceleration, delay, and missed connections, the future always comes too late or too early. Thus while the novel centers (indeed, insists upon) Mac Allen’s driving will, it also complicates the path between this will and its object — through clashing temporalities, various kinds of alienation, the novel’s persistent attention to the mediality of the heroic narrative, its probing interest in the broadly global context of the tunnel project, and its portrayal of the future-oriented desire of the masses. This paper will read the various strategies through which Der Tunnel simultaneously both realizes and undermines its utopian technological vision of the future, in order to consider what this early science fiction novel might have to tell us about the relationship between modernity, modernism, and modernization.

  • The Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies invites you to join us at 3 p.m. Wednesday, March 29, in the IASH Conference Room, LN-1106, for the lecture “Early Medieval Monasticism: An Archaeology of Emotions” with guest speaker Albrecht Diem, professor of history at Syracuse University.

    This lecture will take Barbara Rosenwein’s concept of Emotional Communities as point of departure for analyzing how early medieval Latin monastic rules regulated, fostered and repressed emotions, and which role the control of emotions played in providing communities with an agency for collectively pursuing eternal salvation. The paper will focus on four closely intertextually connected monastic rules written in southern Gaul around the middle of the sixth century. These rules show that monastic life and its institutional form were by no means fully established, but still a matter of experimentation and discussion. Studying each rule’s concept of “emotional discipline” appears to be particularly fruitful for understanding the different monastic ideals developed in these texts. The diverse responses to the challenge of creating functioning communities, stable institutions, and coherent theological frameworks developed their own dynamics and impacted the further development of medieval monastic life.

  • A Statistics Seminar hosted by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics will feature Ruoqi Yu, assistant professor of statistics at the University of California, Davis, speaking on "Balancing weights in observational factorial studies," via Zoom at https://binghamton.zoom.us/j/94116525845 from 1:15-2:15 p.m. Thursday, March 30.

    Many scientific questions in biomedical research, environmental sciences, and psychology require an understanding how multiple factors affect the outcome of interest. Factorial design is a common and easy-to-use tool to evaluate the causal effects of multiple treatments and their interactions simultaneously. However, how to draw reliable causal inferences for multiple treatments in observational studies remains unclear. In particular, as the number of treatment combinations grows exponentially as the number of treatments, some treatment combinations can be rare or unobserved, raising new challenges in estimating factorial effects and the downstream inference. Motivated by this need, we develop a novel and practical weighting approach tailored for observational studies with multiple treatments. The main idea is to use the weighted observational data to approximate a randomized factorial experiment so that the same set of weights can be used to estimate the effects of multiple treatments and their interactions simultaneously. Our investigations suggest that the weights must be designed to balance the observed covariates and the treatments for each contrast in order to provide unbiased estimates of the factorial effects of interest. We discuss how to generalize the proposed weighting method when some treatment combination groups are empty. We study the asymptotic behavior of the new weighting estimators and propose a consistent variance estimator, allowing conducting inference for the factorial effects.

  • The Division of Physical Therapy welcomes William Cutrer, associate dean of undergraduate education and associate professor in the Department of Pediatrics and Critical Care at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine and the lead author of the book The Master Adaptive Learner.

    He will present from noon-1 p.m. Tuesday, April 4, in HSB-301. The presentation is free and open to the campus community.

    Clinicians are routinely faced with complex patient care scenarios. Many of these challenges can be addressed through the application of known solutions. Others however, require the clinician to solve a new or novel challenge. Adaptive expertise allows the clinician to effectively learn and innovate when needed to address these novel scenarios. The session will explore concepts surrounding routine and adaptive expertise as well as implications for both trainee development and practicing clinician lifelong learning. Attendees will leave with practical strategies for implementation within their clinical contexts.

    Anyone interested in a Zoom option can contact Akemi Grab at agrab@binghamton.edu or complete the form at the link below.
