Bearcat Dining community,
We want to begin by acknowledging that we fell short in several areas at the start of the semester. We heard concerns from students and the campus community regarding pricing communication, consistency, kosher variety and availability, portion standards, and overall service experience. We take this feedback seriously and recognize the frustration these issues have caused.
Thank you to everyone who has shared their experiences with us. Your feedback has helped us identify where improvements are needed, and we are committed to taking meaningful action to address these concerns and improve the dining experience for all students.
You spoke. We're listening. Making improvements.
- NEW value at the dining halls: Strengthening your meal plan value by providing all meal plan holders with a 15% Dining Dollar discount at all our dining halls. (Excluding retail items)
- Defined pricing: Updating digital menu screens to ensure pricing is accurate, current, and clearly communicated to students.
- Standardized portions: Right-sizing portion standards across dining halls to meet student expectations.
- Revamping menu at Kosher Kitchen and adding comfort food to C4 Dinner: Increasing food production at the Kosher Kitchen station and adding another comfort food station to expand C4’s dinner offerings.
- Grubhub service times: Improving speed of service to reduce student waiting times and create a more efficient and consistent ordering experience.
- Ongoing feedback and continuous improvement: We will continue to leverage student and campus feedback throughout the semester to identify opportunities, respond quickly, and continuously enhance the dining experience.

"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.

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.For More Information:
