Do you remember what it was like to be a student at Binghamton, getting ready to graduate and looking for an internship or first job? It was probably one of the most challenging times of your life. The Binghamton students of today will need to navigate one of the most difficult job markets ever. As a Binghamton University graduate, you can make a difference in the life of a student. Please join us for a special event to learn how you can partner with the University to provide mentoring, internship and employment opportunities for Binghamton University students in your area and field.

Our special event, Hire Binghamton, will take place on Wednesday, Oct. 23, from 7 to 9 p.m., at the Key Bridge Marriott in Arlington, Va.

Following the presentation, there will be an alumni networking reception including elegant desserts.

Binghamton University has more than 3,000 alumni living in the Washington, D.C. area. This event will provide you with an opportunity to meet some of these alumni, expand your professional network and, most importantly, learn how you can give back to your alma mater by assisting current students in their career development.

Eating Asian America: A Food Studies Reader – NYC
Oct 25 @ 01:30 – Oct 25 @ 03:30

Eating Asian America: A Food Studies Reader
October 24, 2013 | 6:30 p.m.
19 West 4th Street, Manhattan

Join Eating Asian America editors Robert Ji-Song Ku, Martin F. Manalansan IV, Anita Mannur and contributors Nina F. Ichikawa, Heidi Kim and Zohra Saed as they discuss their new book with Krishnendu Ray, MA ’95, PhD ’01 (Chair of the Department of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health, NYU Steinhardt) alongside some of the most prominent figures in Asian American food.
About the Book

A collection of burgeoning new scholarship on the study of foodways and culinary practices, Eating Asian America brings into dialogue the proliferation of Cambodian doughnut shops in Los Angeles with the politics of school lunch in Hawai’i with the history of Kikkoman soy sauce with the rise of the Asian American hipster food trucks and more. In a refusal to yield to the superficial multiculturalism that naively celebrates difference through the pleasures of food and eating, the volume reveals the class, racial, ethnic, sexual and gender inequalities that pervade and persist in the production, distribution and consumption of Asian American cuisine.

This event is presented by the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at New York University and NYU Press and co-sponsored by the Binghamton University Asian and Asian American Alumni Council, the Department of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health, NYU Steinhardt, The Institute for Asia and Asian Diasporas and the Department of Asian and Asian American Studies at Binghamton University, and the Asian/Pacific/American Studies Program in the Department of Social & Cultural Analysis, NYU.

Register online at the A/P/A website. The registration deadline is Thursday, October 22. If you have questions, please contact Leah Joggerst.
