Binghamton University hosts 10th annual Community Opportunities Fair

BINGHAMTON, N.Y. — Binghamton University’s Center for Civic Engagement (CCE) will hold its 10th annual Community Opportunities Fair from noon–4 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 8, in the Nelson Mandela Room and Old Union Hall, located on campus in the University Union. This event is free and open to the public.

The fair provides a venue for civically engaged faculty, staff, student groups and community organizations to display their work, recruit students and other partners, and make connections. Student attendees have the opportunity to speak with program representatives from on and off campus about how to get involved in the community.

Seventy area organizations, service-oriented student groups, and University departments and offices are expected to attend. The mission of the CCE is to cultivate partnerships that strengthen communities and develop active and engaged citizens. The CCE provides support for students to get involved in the community through volunteering, service-learning courses, internships at local nonprofits and community based research.
