  • Lithium-ion batteries are found in many consumer e-transportation devices due to their small size, power output and versatility. Binghamton University is heavily invested in researching emerging energy storage technology related to Li-ion batteries. While our researchers are busy creating future energy solutions, consumer-grade lithium batteries are plentiful and present hazards that must be managed for the safety of all campus community members.

    All e-transportation devices powered by a lithium-ion battery such as e-bikes, e-scooters and e-hoverboards brought to, stored or charged on campus must be registered. There is no fee to do so, and the process is simple. Note that you will need to provide photos of each device and battery. You can access the registration form via phone or computer at the link below. This registration does not apply to battery-operated devices such as — but not limited to — laptops, desktop computers, iPads, tablets, cell phones, ADA Mobility Devices, etc.

    Binghamton University has established several safety guidelines for e-transportation users. To learn more about the policy, go to: https://www.binghamton.edu/operations/policies/policy-422.html

Through this grant, SUNY offers free access to "Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR) Suicide Prevention Gatekeeper" training to students, faculty, staff and other SUNY community members.

    QPR is an evidence-based emergency mental health intervention for people at risk of suicide. The goal of QPR is to recognize a suicide crisis, interrupt it and direct the person to appropriate care.

    Like CPR, QPR works to increase an at-risk individual's chance of survival. People trained in QPR are taught to recognize the warning signs of suicide, which include depression, expressions of hopelessness and talk of suicide. Participants are then taught how to respond.

    The training course only takes an hour and could help save a life. If you are interested in becoming certified in QPR, follow the below instructions:

    1. Follow the link below,
    2. Type in "SUNY" for the organization code;
    3. Click "Create Training Account";
    4. Log in to the QPR Gatekeeper website at: http://www.qprtraining.com

  • SUNY will offer five undergraduate research summer grants through the Dr. L. Eudora Pettigrew Women’s History Summer Research Excellence Grants 2024-25 program.

    In celebration of Women’s History Month, State University of New York Chancellor John B. King, Jr. announced the Dr. L. Eudora Pettigrew Women’s History Summer Research Excellence Grants. Through this initiative, students will have the opportunity to research the significant role women have played in the development of New York State and to recognize the contributions women leaders have played in the state and the region.

    Named in honor of the first Black college president in the SUNY system, the Dr. L. Eudora Pettigrew Women’s History Summer Research Excellence Grants will provide five SUNY undergraduate students with the opportunity to pursue an innovative community-based applied-learning experience in women’s history. Working under the advisement of campus faculty members, and each receiving a stipend and other financial support, those selected will conduct original research at New York historical sites, libraries, historical societies, museums and other institutions. Participating students will be expected to document their studies and share the results of their research on their campus and through a SUNY system administration social media spotlight in the fall.

    The fellowship will provide a student stipend of $5,000 for 8-10 weeks of research and up to $3,000 for travel and living expenses (computers not allowed).

    Applications are due Monday, April 29. Click the link below to learn more.

The Indian healthcare system faces several challenges, such as poor mental health among students, due to the abrupt shift to online learning and social isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic.
