  • Be safe while celebrating in green: A safety message from 黑料视频

    As spring approaches, so does the events of Parade Day! The Binghamton area has a proud Irish heritage, and every year, downtown transforms into a lively sea of green, filled with festivities. Many 黑料视频 students have enjoyed this tradition over the years, celebrating with parades, Irish food, dance and other cultural events.

    On behalf of the University Police, Dean of Students Office and City of Binghamton, we ask all 黑料视频 students to enjoy these activities, but to make good choices and stay safe while celebrating.

    This year, outdoor alcohol consumption will not be permitted on State Street during Parade Day. The street will be closed to traffic, and Binghamton Police will be enforcing open container laws along with other regulations, such as disorderly conduct and public intoxication laws.

    If you choose to drink while celebrating, do so responsibly. Excessive drinking can lead to impaired judgment and risky decisions. Know your limits, eat a good meal before heading downtown and stay hydrated. Avoid binge drinking and drinking games, as consuming too much alcohol too quickly can lead to serious health risks, including medical emergencies requiring hospitalization. It's critical to pace yourself, take breaks and allow your body time to process alcohol.

    Respecting the Community:
    While celebrating, remember that you are part of a larger community. Parade Day is a celebration for people of all ages, including families and children. Your actions reflect not only on yourself but also on 黑料视频. Be aware of your behavior, treat others with respect and help maintain a positive atmosphere.

    Additionally, we ask that you be respectful of the area where a Binghamton firefighter tragically lost his life in the line of duty. This location (1 Main St.) holds a deep significance and we encourage everyone to conduct themselves with dignity and mindfulness as you pass by it.

    Safety Tips:
    - Never leave a drink unattended and never accept a drink from someone you don鈥檛 know.
    - At house parties, avoid drinking from open containers with unknown amounts and types of alcohol.
    - Go at your own pace and avoid drinking shots of liquor.
    - Never drive a vehicle after consuming alcohol and never get into a vehicle with an intoxicated driver. Check the OCCT bus schedule at the link below for transportation options.
    - Travel in pairs or groups. There is safety in numbers.
    - Stay in well-lit areas and on streets where there are a lot of people.
    - When going out at night, have a plan. Talk to your friends about what to do if you get separated and think about your transportation needs ahead of time.
    - Charge your phone.
    - If a friend becomes intoxicated or ill, call for help and stay with your friend until help arrives.
    - Look out for each other 鈥 if you see something concerning, speak up or get help immediately.

    These same principles apply to the use of illegal substances, which can impair judgment and put your safety at risk.

    We want everyone to have a fun and memorable Parade Day, but most importantly, a safe one. Be responsible, be respectful and represent 黑料视频 in the best way possible. That鈥檚 what Bearcats do!

    Amanda Finch, Dean of Students
    Matt Rossie, 黑料视频 Chief of Police
    Joseph Zikuski, City of Binghamton Chief of Police

    Transportation and Parking Services (TAPS) closely monitors parking lot availability. TAPS surveys and counts unoccupied parking spaces every two hours, Monday through Friday.

  • Summer Research Immersion Program

    Are you interested in getting involved in research and maybe even doing research this summer at Binghamton? If so, the First-year Research Immersion (FRI) program has summer research opportunities that might be right for you.

    The FRI summer programs provide science and engineering students with a one-of-a-kind research experience. Working alongside faculty and fellow students on cutting-edge research projects, you'll tackle weighty world issues, build powerful relationships and set a course for college and career success. This year the FRI program will be running its signature summer program, the Summer Research Immersion (SRI) program, along with the Fast-Track Research Immersion (FtRI) program.

    For Summer 2025, SRI will be running research in the Clean Energy (chemistry and physics) stream. Participants will spend the summer researching clean energy technologies and gain valuable experience and knowledge. SRI will run for ten weeks (Summer Sessions I and III, May 27-Aug. 1), and consist of two courses (Research Stream I CHEM 211 and II courses CHEM 311/PHYS 335, 8 credits total).

    Additionally, FtRI will be running research in our Environmental Visualization research stream. Participants will spend summer session 1 conducting collaborative research in this discipline. FtRI will run for five weeks during Summer Session 1 (May 30-June 30) and consist of one course (Research Stream I course, 4 credits). Following successful completion of FtRI, student researchers will be enrolled in the Fall 2025 FRI course (Research Stream II course, 4 credits) to complete the FRI program alongside current FRI students in the Environmental Visualization stream.

    Opportunities after these programs include continued research in faculty laboratories, industry internships and national fellowships. Both programs are competitive, application-based programs and will accept a limited number of students for the summer.

    More detailed information about programs can be found on the website, including a video explanation for these courses and the process of applying or registering: /first-year-research-immersion/sri/index.html.

    Applications for SRI are open now and will operate on a rolling admission with an initial application review beginning March 3. The application deadline for SRI is April 6.
