Alumni Events Calendar

Please join us on March 1st at Turnmill from 6-9pm for 2016’s first Binghamton University Korean Alumni Mixer.

This will be a networking event connecting Korean and Korean/American Binghamton Alumni who live in New York City bringing us together to firmly establish a consistent alumni community focused on building relationships and creating professional resources.

We plan on holding 4 events throughout the course of each year. Not only will this serve as a networking opportunity but will also serve as a platform to keep our community up to speed with the work and contributions from fellow alumni who are currently making an impact on the university, campus and student organizations.

Current updates for 2016 include:

• Construction of the Young Sam Kim Korean Cultural Center:
o This new center has been made possible by the generous contribution from Charles Kim ’98, a Korean, and will be located in a newly renovated space in the Old Dickinson residential community.

• Formulation of a Korean organization grant system:
o Through the effort of Korean alumni, we have established a grant system for Korean organizations on campus. For example, if the traditional Korean drum group needs new drum heads, they can make a grant request through the Center for Korean Studies, and upon approval can receive the proper funding to further their organizations.

• Korean Night 2016:
o The Center for Korean Studies and fellow Korean alumni have made a joint effort to help unify all the Korean organizations on campus to unite and collaborate on Korean Night together this year.

This event is complimentary event and we ask you to please register online by Monday, February 29 to let us know you are attending. This event is sponsored by the Binghamton University Alumni Association which will be providing an assortment of appetizers and a complimentary drink for each attendee. A cash bar will be available for additional drinks.

We are looking forward to seeing you at the mixer as well as expanding our impact and community at the University and in NYC where we work and live. Please contact James Kim ’99 at [email protected] with any questions about this event.
