An update on CCPA from President Stenger and Dean Bronstein
CCPA has been a leader in educating individuals who are passionate about improving our community and society at large. With a deep commitment to community-centered learning, including student volunteer work, internships, field placements, and service learning with community organizations, CCPA provides an unparalleled learning.
In addition to attracting talented young people who want to make a difference in their communities, CCPA has been integral in fostering partnerships that make our communities vital, equitable.
This year, COVID has had a terrible impact—not only on members of our community, but also on New York state’s ability to fund the colleges and universities that train our future first-line responders. We ask that you please consider a gift to one of the important funds below. Your support will help every community where CCPA graduates live and work.
Contact us in the Dean's Office at 607-777-9176 if you have questions about giving or if we can be of assistance.
Binghamton University Community Schools (BUCS)
BUCS is the first county-wide, university-assisted community schools model in the nation. This comprehensive approach to equitable school improvement helps break the intergenerational cycle of poverty by increasing the odds that youth will succeed in school and go on to lead productive lives. Initiatives include efforts to provide systems support, enrichment activities, boost attendance rates, and increase family engagement. With this objective, all public schools would serve as hubs for their communities; supporting children, families, and neighborhoods with programs including health and social services, enrichment, recreation, and arts.
Student Scholarships
Students at CCPA take on an average debt load of over $35,000 for their education, and because of their commitment to the public and nonprofit sector, many do not make large salaries. Graduates of our college are filling vital roles in our community that promote quality of life for us all – as social workers and mental health counselors in our hospitals and assisted living centers, as teachers, public administrators, and in public sector law and Higher Education and Student Affairs.
Dean's Excellence Fund
The Binghamton Fund for CCPA serves as the Dean’s excellence fund and provides resources to the dean to allocate wherever needs are greatest. Your support positions CCPA as the nation's premier college educating students, generating knowledge and implementing solutions for the most pressing social issues of our time.
