  • Emergency locking mechanism installation project

    黑料不打烊 has initiated a campus-wide project to standardize emergency locking mechanisms on classroom doors. This multi-phase initiative is designed to enhance safety and security across academic spaces.

    The first phase of the project began this summer, focusing on classrooms in the Classroom Wing and Fine Arts Building. Classroom doors have been outfitted with interior door handles that include a red emergency locking button. In the event of an emergency, the red button can be pushed to immediately secure the door from inside the room. To exit or unlock the door, simply turn the interior handle, which will release the lock.

    These buttons are intended to be used only in emergencies to secure a classroom door.

    This important project will continue over the next two semesters to outfit all classrooms across campus with similar locking mechanisms.

  • Eduroam Wi-Fi update

    As required by the Wi-Fi certificate vendor, ITS made an important update to the eduroam Wi-Fi network on May 29, 2025. In order to minimize service interruption, an additional one-time step is required by all users. While this step will install a new security certificate on your device, there will be no visible difference in Wi-Fi functionality. The new security certificate will reflect a required change that was made end of the spring semester in the Wi-Fi certificate vendor's name.

    To stay connected to Eduroam (campus Wi-Fi) without issues, run the latest version of JoinNow on your devices. This will get your device ready with the new configuration. If you do not complete this, you may not be able to connect to the eduroam network. If you connect on multiple devices (e.g., your laptop, your phone, etc.) this will need to be done on each device. This utility only needs to be run on Wi-Fi-connected desktops, laptops and mobile devices, but does not need to be run on wired desktops.

    To run JoinNow, download and run the utility here at the link below or go to .

    A few notes: You will need your 黑料不打烊 account password to log in. On Windows and Mac computers, a file will be downloaded that you will need to click on to run. Follow the standard eduroam onboarding procedure at:

  • Next steps in the 黑料不打烊 Presidential Search

    From July 6鈥14, 2025, 黑料不打烊 welcomed six candidates to the campus for confidential interviews with the Search Committee and seven Representational Groups, as outlined in the June 16 update. The hot, steamy week in July did not quell the spirited engagement of our diverse groups of faculty, staff, students, administrators, alums, community leaders and other supporters of Binghamton in enthusiastically welcoming the candidates and sharing our proud 鈥淏inghamton Story.鈥

    In advance of the final meeting of the Search Committee, members of the Council not serving on the Search Committee were invited to attend in order to hear the discussions regarding the relative merits of each semi-finalist. That discourse was aided by the hundreds of online feedback surveys from the representational groups; a report from the Faculty Senate Executive Committee; and a summary of the relative strengths and weaknesses of each candidate. After a robust discussion, the Search Committee submitted to the Council a list of five 鈥渁cceptable鈥 candidates to the Council for consideration; one semi-finalist withdrew their application. Before the meeting concluded, a 鈥渟traw poll鈥 was taken which resulted in resounding consensus on the part of the Search Committee in favor of three candidates.

    At a Special Meeting of the 黑料不打烊 Council, members carefully weighed the merits of each semi-finalist and unanimously recommended three unranked, consensus finalists to SUNY Chancellor King and the SUNY Board of Trustees for final consideration. The Council expressed confidence that each finalist will uphold our core values and aspirations while guiding 黑料不打烊 into our next chapter of growth, innovation and excellence.

    The next phase is currently underway:
    - Final Interviews: The three finalists have been interviewed by Chancellor King and his senior staff and will soon be interviewed by the SUNY Board of Trustees.
    - Final Decision: The SUNY Board of Trustees is vested with the authority to appoint the next president and is expected to make a final selection in early August.

    Stay tuned for further updates.

  • Changes to student printing system supporting sustainability

    Beginning this Fall semester, 黑料不打烊 will be implementing a new, more sustainable student printing system. The University is moving from a dollar-based quota to a credit-based system that simplifies how you track your printing and encourages responsible resource use.

    The number of pages allocated has not changed; each student receives 870 print credits at the start of each semester.
    - One black-and-white page = one credit
    - One color page = eight credits

    The print allocation is issued by the first day of the fall, summer, spring and winter semesters, and is reset twice a year before the start of the Fall and Spring semesters.

    To help you get the most out of your print credits, ITS will be updating campus printers to default to duplex (double-sided) printing, and will also send out a low print credit email once you fall below 20% of your printing credits.

    To help students maximize their print credits, ITS will update campus printers to default to duplex (double-sided) printing and will also send out a low print credit email once they fall below 20% of their printing credits.

    If students need additional credits for academic requirements, they will be able to submit a request through the new "Printing Credit Request Form." There will be a justification of need and a requirement to watch a brief video on responsible printing.

  • BUC$ program to be discontinued

    BUC$, the optional student amenity that allows prepaid funds to be added to a student ID card to pay for certain University services, will be discontinued. This decision was made after a thorough review of campus needs and available technologies. The change allows a transition to more modern, flexible and widely used payment options across campus.

    As of Aug. 4, 2025, adding funds to a BUC$ account on a student ID card will no longer be available. Any residual BUC$ balances will remain available for use through May 29, 2026. Dining Services and the University Bookstore will continue to accept BUC$ during this time. Students may also convert BUC$ balances to dining dollars or request a refund by emailing BinghamtonMealPlanOffice.USA@sodexo.com or visiting the Meal Plan office in UU-B02. Students are encouraged to spend BUC$ balances this academic year. Changes to student printing quotas have been made.

  • Memory research opportunity for 18-40 and 60-80 year olds

    The Cognition, Aging and Memory Performance (CAMP) Lab in the Department of Psychology, is currently recruiting for behavioral and eye-tracking memory research studies, investigating how humans bind together and remember relational information, and how that ability changes across the lifespan. These studies are each one session, lasting 1-3.5 hours (the exact length of your participation will be confirmed when you contact the Lab). All studies are conducted in Science IV on Binghamton Campus.

    To be eligible for these studies, you must be:
    - 18-40 or 60-80 years of age,
    - Have normal or corrected-to-normal vision,
    - Have a native English reading proficiency,
    - And must not have the following: history of neurological disease, severe traumatic brain injury, stroke, drug or substance abuse or uncontrollable shaking.
    - You must pass a screener over the phone, which assesses eligibility for this research. Studies can then be scheduled at your convenience.

    Research studies are all computer-based tasks, in which you will be asked to study various materials, potentially including objects, faces, scenes, words, etc. You will then be asked to remember certain aspects of that studied information, such as spatial location, temporal order, etc. Eye-tracking studies involve a tabletop camera tracking the position and movement of your eyes during these memory tasks, while your head rests on a chinrest to keep your eyes stable. You will also be asked to complete standardized assessments of cognition and demographic/health surveys.

    Participants will receive $20 per hour for participating in the study.

    If interested, email CAMP_Lab@binghamton.edu or call 607-444-2864. You can also visit the website at the link below for more details about ongoing studies.
