Join us at an alumni reception in Philadelphia

Wayne E. Jones, Interim Dean of Harpur College of Arts & Sciences and the Binghamton University Alumni Association cordially invite you to an alumni reception.

Monday, August 20, 2012
6:30 – 8:30 p.m.
Philadelphia Marriott Downtown
1201 Market St., Philadelphia

Dean Jones will be providing a brief update on Binghamton University’s new SUNY2020 Energy Initiative and recent activities in Harpur College. Chemistry students and faculty will be hosting a poster session, and will be available to discuss their cutting-edge research.

Heavy hors d’oeuvres and cash bar will be available. There is no registration fee, but advanced registration is requested. Alumni registered by August 15 will receive a complimentary beverage coupon.

Questions? Please contact Leah Joggerst.

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.

“I’m Harvey Stenger, president of Binghamton University. Join me at a special dessert reception. Although Binghamton is an amazing university, I would like to see it grow in exciting new directions over the next few years. I look forward to talking about this with our alumni – more than 2,500 strong in western New York – and with our new students and their parents who are also invited to our special Alumni Association-sponsored event.”

There is no cost to attend. For our planning purposes, please register online by August 15. For more information, contact the Alumni Relations office at 607-777-2424.
