We invite you to join us for a wonderful summer day filled with golf, lunch, a dinner reception, and more. This year, we are pleased to hold the Alumni Golf Classic at a new venue – Vestal Hills Country Club. Don’t miss this opportunity to play a round of golf with your friends at one of the Binghamton area’s premier private courses. Although we’re at a new site, we offer all the features that are traditionally part of the Alumni Golf Classic experience.
Round up your foursome, and sign up for this Captain-and-Crew tournament as soon as possible. We can take a maximum of 36 groups. We are also seeking sponsors for this event. The Alumni Golf Classic offers a range of sponsorship opportunities; each one can be a great way to build visibility for your business. Liberty Mutual, provider of the Alumni Association’s group insurance program, will sponsor a $10,000 hole-in-one jackpot.
This event is open to the public. Held each year, the Alumni Golf Classic brings the University and local communities together, while raising money for the Alumni Association Legacy Scholarship Fund, which benefits the children of Binghamton University alumni.

We need to cancel the Alumni Association’s event on Tuesday evening. President Stenger has been summoned by the Governor to present a status report on the Southern Tier Regional Economic Development Council in Albany and then attend a private reception at the Governor’s mansion.
The Alumni Association will reschedule another event at a future date. Unfortunately, it won’t be before our incoming students return to campus. We sincerely apologize on behalf of President Stenger.
