What do we offer?
We’re here for you – to help you connect and to keep you updated on University happenings. Just like our alumni base – now at 95,000 and counting – we’re continually changing and growing to meet the needs of alumni, students, friends and the Binghamton University community. If you are a graduate of the University, you are a member of the Alumni Association; it's free.
Here are some of the benefits we provide:
B-connected
It is our secure virtual community - only for Binghamton University alumni. B-connected lets you update your personal profile, find fellow alumni, contact them and participate in the Alumni Career Network, a searchable online database of Binghamton graduates who have volunteered to be contacted by alumni and students regarding career information. You can search for alumni based on your career goals and/or geographic preferences.
New B-connected features:
• upload a profile picture and photo album
• instantly see a list of alumni living in your geographic area
• download electronic business cards
• upload a résumé
• create and share contact lists
• manage subscriptions to e-mail bulletins and online alumni newsletters
You can support the University by making a gift through B-connected.
E-mail forwarding
The Alumni Association offers a free e-mail forwarding service to all Binghamton University graduates. Jobs and Internet service providers (ISPs) will change over the years; however, we'll provide you with an e-mail address that remains constant.
Your e-mail forwarding address has a name you select, followed by the suffix @alumni.binghamton.edu. We encourage you to share this address with family, friends, colleagues and especially fellow Binghamton alumni.
All you need is an e-mail account through any ISP; mail can be forwarded to that account from your Binghamton alumni e-mail address.
Visit the e-mail forwarding site to find out more and set up your account. If you have any other concerns or questions related to e-mail forwarding, contact the Alumni Office.
