An estimated 3,291 Binghamton University students will receive bachelor’s (2,584), master’s (606) and doctoral degrees (101) at Commencement ceremonies Saturday, May 15, and Sunday, May 16, in the Events Center. While each student’s story of achievement is unique, we have asked 14 graduates to share the tale of their road to graduation in becoming part of the Class of 2004. The profiles were written by Katie Ellis, Ingrid Husisian, Sarah Lifshin, Shirley Lin, Sandy Paniccia, Regina Rafanan and Daniel Richards. Photography by Evan Kestenbaum.
