rest of your life as a champion' " -Muhammad Ali
Message To Summer Program Participants:
The EOP summer program is hard but, going through college without it is even harder.
If you preserve through the summer program and succeed, in the fall you will be grateful
that you did. I went into my fall semester already with a great GPA, a bunch of friends,
and I was already mentally prepared for the rigor of the courses here at Binghamton.
If you take full advantage of the resources offered during the summer program, you
will be more than ready for this university.
