Greetings, fellow Korean Binghamton University Alumni!!!

In all the years of our University’s existence, and with all the Koreans who have graduated since, Binghamton Alumni of Korean descent have yet to tap into the greatest resources available – each other.

Please join us at the first ever Korean Binghamton alumni mixer at Manhattan Brew House (354 3rd Ave., Manhattan – between 25th & 26th streets in Kips Bay) from 6 to 10 p.m., on Wednesday, May 21.

This pioneering occasion will provide an opportunity for any Korean graduate from Binghamton to come together, forge new bonds, strengthen old ones, and unify our resources and successes in uplifting the Binghamton-Korean community residing in New York City.

Strength resides within unity.

Our fellow Korean graduates in New York City now work in every professional and creative industry imaginable. From finance, to medicine, politics, education and art, a platform is necessary in order to first acknowledge one another, then unify in order to serve and strengthen the Binghamton-Korean community.

Please join us for cocktails and a chance to meet and greet other Korean alumni. There is no cost to attend, but we ask that you please register online. Our event is graciously sponsored by the Binghamton University Alumni Association.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at [email protected]. I look forward to seeing you on the 21st!

Regards,
James Kim ’99
