Your support changes lives

To date, almost 30,000 people have stepped forward to support Bold.Brilliant.Binghamton — The Campaign for Binghamton University, and their gifts are already making an impact. We are pleased to report that we have reached 98 percent of our $95 million campaign goal.

Even so, we need all alumni to make a gift toward the campaign. You can make a difference, and help put us over the top. Please support the campaign by making a gift to The Binghamton Fund.

Support from alumni and friends is already making an impact, as evidenced by the opening of the Computer-Aided Engineering Instructional Lab in the fall. Our students now have access to 30 software titles used in industry today that will enable them to develop, model and analyze solutions in a virtual environment. This is all thanks to the $25.9 million gift of software from Siemens PLM Software and it is hard to put into words the value that such a gift brings to our students.

Private support like this is vital to the University, enabling the Binghamton University Foundation to provide nearly $7 million every year to the campus for faculty and academic programs and student support.

Online giving was up three percent in the first half of the fiscal year compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year, and The Binghamton Fund raised 21 percent more in December 2011 compared to the same month in 2010. Help us make 2012 a special year by supporting Bold.Brilliant.Binghamton — The Campaign for Binghamton University. And, to those of you who have already given, we offer our sincere thanks!
