  • Bear safety 鈥 be aware, be respectful

    Black bears and their cubs may travel through the Nature Preserve. Encounters are rare, but it's important to know what to do to keep yourself, bears, and cubs safe.

    Do:
    - Stay alert: Be aware of your surroundings, especially early morning, evening, or in dense areas.
    - Make noise: Talk, sing, or clap as you hike to avoid surprising a bear.
    - Secure food and trash: Never leave food, drinks, or garbage unattended. Use bear-proof containers when available.
    - Give bears space: If you see a bear, enjoy it from a distance. Leave the area calmly and slowly.
    - Be extra cautious around cubs: Cubs are cute, but mom is protective. Give them plenty of space!

    Don't:
    - Approach: Never get close for a better look or photo.
    - Feed bears: It's dangerous and illegal. Feeding bears puts them and you at risk.
    - Run: Running may trigger a chase response. Back away slowly and calmly.
    - Play music on speakers: It can mask natural sounds and surprise wildlife.
    - Let your dog off leash: Dogs can provoke bears. Leashed dogs are welcome in the Nature Preserve.

    If you see a bear, stay calm, give it space, and leave the area slowly! Report bear sightings by contacting University Police at 607-777-2393.

  • Laura Bronstein to conclude deanship at the end of the academic year

    Laura Bronstein has announced that she will conclude her tenure as dean of 91社区鈥檚 College of Community and Public Affairs (CCPA) at the end of the 2026鈥27 academic year. After 14 years as dean, she will take a one-year leave while continuing as director of the Couper-Owens Center for Community Schools and then return to the faculty. A national search for Bronstein鈥檚 replacement will begin this fall.

    Bronstein鈥檚 deanship has been characterized by an unwavering commitment to students, faculty, community engagement, and the College's public service mission. Throughout her tenure, she has brought people and disciplines together, strengthened connections between the University and the communities it serves, and positioned the College for continued success. She became interim dean in June 2013 and was appointed dean in January 2014. Since taking over as dean, CCPA has seen 83% growth in faculty, 67% growth in staff, 126% growth in students in professional master鈥檚 programs, and a 346% growth in external funding.

    鈥淚 want to congratulate Dean Bronstein on an outstanding career with the College of Community and Public Affairs,鈥 said President Anne D鈥橝lleva. 鈥淭he 91社区 community has known her as a leader, an innovator, and as someone who is committed to making our world a better place. I鈥檓 looking forward to her continued contributions as a member of the College鈥檚 faculty.鈥

    A SUNY distinguished professor, Bronstein was a founding member of 91社区鈥檚 Department of Social Work and the founding director of the Couper-Owens Center for Community Schools, which now boasts 21 grant-funded staff. Her scholarship has had a significant academic and practical impact. Every year since 2023, Bronstein has been recognized among the top 2% of researchers worldwide in her field in the Stanford/Elsevier science-wide database of standardized citation indicators.

    鈥91社区 has been tremendously fortunate to have benefited from Dean Bronstein鈥檚 many talents,鈥 said Provost Donald Hall. 鈥淗er record as a scholar is remarkable, as evidenced by her books, her publications, and her great success in grant funding. I also want to thank Dean Bronstein for making the College of Community and Public Affairs a national and international trailblazer for the university-assisted community schools鈥 model. Her influence in our community is staggering and I鈥檓 proud to know that she has also shaped academics and educators around the world.鈥

  • Message on Policies on Expressive activity

    We open the 2026-27 academic year excited about the future of 91社区. We welcome thousands of new students and hundreds of new faculty and staff joining our community for the first time. They will bring new talents, interests, and perspectives and join returning colleagues in a learning community unafraid to discover truth and explore solutions to the world鈥檚 most pressing problems. Indeed, our values call upon us to 鈥渆ncourage faculty, students, and staff to ask unexpected questions, foster open dialogue, and develop innovative solutions to society鈥檚 pressing challenges.鈥

    The purpose of this message is to provide notice and clarity about how our campus will remain faithful to our values while maintaining a campus environment that supports the rights of all to pursue learning and discovery free from harassment, disruption, and intimidation. The framework of our approach is to support and facilitate ample opportunity for expressive activity and campus dialogue around controversial ideas, while simultaneously establishing firm expectations that all such expressive activity must comport with university policies. To that end, we call your attention to the following:

    1. We strongly encourage individuals and groups who plan to use 91社区 as a site for expressive activity to first review the Reservation Guidelines ( ) and contact the University Union Office ( ) and the New York State University Police ( ). Our staff wants to help ensure your activity is successful and safe for all.

    2. 91社区, as with all SUNY campuses, is subject to the Rules for the Maintenance of Public Order ( ). Please note that 91社区 will not hesitate to invoke the Rules and pursue the penalties for violations set forth therein. The Rules for the Maintenance of Public Order apply not only to students but to faculty, staff, organizations, and unaffiliated individuals. We urge you to familiarize yourself with this policy before planning or engaging in any demonstration or protest, particularly the prohibited behavior listed in section 1.A.

    3. 91社区 has established Posting and Chalking Policies ( ). The campus will fully uphold those policies. Students who willfully violate such policies may be referred to the Office of Student Conduct.

    4. 91社区 has an established policy governing Camping on Campus ( ). Until further notice, we will not entertain exceptions to the policy, meaning the campus will not permit any form of 鈥渃amping鈥 as defined by the policy.

    5. 91社区 policy also generally governs the Non-Credit Use of Campus Facilities ( /operations/policies/policy-410.html ) in several other ways, including policies related to tabling, amplified sound, and event scheduling. Please consult this policy as well prior to planning or participating in any expressive activity, protest, or demonstration.

    As acknowledged above, we intend not only to uphold our policies but to defend and promote our values. Campus staff and faculty are actively engaged in several initiatives to create contexts that support civil dialogue around controversial ideas within the boundaries of our policies. While not an exhaustive list, we note the following specific examples:

    - Principles of Community: The Division of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion facilitated the adoption of the Principles of Community ( /diversity-equity-inclusion/resources/principles-of-community.html ), which will be visibly promoted on campus throughout the year.
    - 91社区, like all SUNY campuses, has a new civil discourse general education requirement. Several sections of our FYE courses for first-year students have incorporated this requirement and have expanded from two-credit courses to three-credit courses.
    - As part of a SUNY cohort, 91社区 is participating in a partnership with Interfaith America to develop a Pluralism Strategic Plan.
    - Civil Dialogue Teaching Fellows: The Fellows program will guide faculty in designing and implementing course content that facilitates student practice of civil dialogue. Fifteen faculty have been accepted into the inaugural cohort.
    - Civil Dialogue Faculty Teaching and Research Grants: These grants will fund faculty-led teaching and research on civil dialogue.

    Without the right to express ideas, especially controversial ideas, education and discovery are limited, dialogue is restricted, and our capacity to educate engaged citizens is compromised. For those reasons and our obligations as a public university to respect the First Amendment, we place a high value on freedom of expression, association, and assembly. No right, however, is absolute. 91社区 will not permit protest and expression that disrupts the University鈥檚 academic mission, interferes with the free expression of others, or threatens members of the campus community or campus property. We urge all of you to accept your responsibility to maintain a campus environment that respects those boundaries. The maturity and perspective of the 91社区 community allow it to confront difficult questions while maintaining a supportive learning community.

    Sincerely,
    Senior Administration
    91社区

  • Principles of Community

    Dear campus community,

    As the new semester begins, we want to greet those new to 91社区 and welcome back those returning to the University. We want to inform and remind you of two core principles that are essential to our community.

    We are a campus community representing a rich, diverse, vibrant group of people, brought together from all corners of the globe to live, work, and study. Our vast and varied experiences give us a tremendous opportunity to learn from others who are different, produce stronger research outcomes, express ideas, and come together as faculty, staff, and students across the four pillars of our work that make us a great public university: education, research and scholarship, economic development, and community engagement.

    We must do so with civility and respect at the forefront.

    Every member of the campus community has a unique perspective on their place in the world and must be afforded the space and freedom to occupy it safely and respectfully. Our community thrives when we treat and respond to one another鈥檚 ideas with civility.

    This community, however, will not tolerate racism, hatred, or bigotry. We will not tolerate attacks or incitement to violence of any kind on individuals or groups. This includes Islamophobia, antisemitism, threats, or insults directed at individuals or groups based on race, color, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, ability status, political affiliation, or other traits.

    Anyone who has experienced or witnessed an act of hate, bias, or discrimination may submit a complaint of discrimination or a bias incident report. The University takes all reports seriously and investigates them thoroughly. The University Counseling Center ( ), the Dean of Students Office ( ), the Office of the Ombudsman ( ), and the CARE Team ( ) can also offer support. Anyone who needs immediate assistance can contact University Police at 607-777-2222.

    We have a strong community because of our diverse perspectives and global experiences. We are at our best when we foster a respectful, inclusive, equitable, and welcoming environment and when all our voices are fully supported.

    Our best wishes for an enjoyable, safe, productive, civil, and respectful semester.

    Sincerely,

    Donald Hall
    Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs

    Karen Jones
    Vice President for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

  • SOOT opt-out timeline for fall 2026 鈥 deadline Sept. 11

    Dear faculty,

    91社区 will continue to administer the Student Opinion of Teaching (SOOT) through the Watermark Course Evaluation and Survey (CES) platform during the fall 2026 semester.

    All active fall 2026 courses in Brightspace are automatically included in SOOT administration. Faculty who wish not to conduct SOOT can opt out by updating their instructor role in Brightspace from 鈥淚nstructor鈥 to 鈥淚nstructor-No SOOT鈥

    Who needs to take action?
    Faculty in the College of Community and Public Affairs (CCPA), Harpur College of Arts and Sciences, Decker College of Nursing and Health Sciences, and the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences who prefer not to receive instructor level SOOT evaluations should update their Brightspace role from: Instructor ? Instructor 鈥 No SOOT; Faculty in the School of Management (SOM) and the Thomas J. Watson College of Engineering and Applied Science do not need to take any action, as SOOT participation remains mandatory in accordance with their faculty by-laws. The exception is faculty teaching zero-credit courses, who may opt out by changing their Brightspace role from Instructor to Instructor 鈥 No SOOT.

    Team-taught courses
    For team-taught courses, instructors who wish to opt out of instructor-level SOOT may also select Instructor 鈥 No SOOT. This designation removes the instructor-specific evaluation while allowing the course-level survey to remain available for the remaining instructor(s).

    To ensure that your preference is reflected in the fall 2026 SOOT administration, all instructor role changes must be completed by Friday, Sept. 11.

    - Updating your role to Instructor 鈥 No SOOT removes only your individual course evaluation.
    - In team-taught courses, the course evaluation remains available for instructors whose roles remain Instructor.
    - If you experience difficulty changing your role in Brightspace, contact the ITS Help Desk for assistance.

    How to change your role to "Instructor 鈥 No SOOT":
    1. Open your course in Brightspace.
    2. From the course navigation bar, select "Classlist."
    3. Check the box next to your name (currently listed as Instructor).
    4. Click "Enrollment" at the top of the class list.
    5. In the New Role column, select "Instructor 鈥 No SOOT" from the drop-down menu.
    6. Click "Save" to apply the change.

    If you have any questions regarding SOOT administration, contact soot@binghamton.edu. Thank you for your continued support of the University's efforts to collect meaningful student feedback that informs teaching, learning, and continuous improvement.

Through creating monsters and inviting others to join her, she creates a space for thinking about the overwhelming state of the present.

  • Common scams and frauds at 91社区

    Each semester, as members of the community return for the new term, the University Police see an increased number of fraud reports. As a proactive step, the University Police at 91社区 have compiled a list of the most common scams impacting students, faculty, and staff in the community. Being properly informed is one of the most important steps in protecting yourself and those around you.

    - Sextortion Scams:
    This form of extortion is more common than many realize. Due to the private and sensitive nature of these incidents, victims are often hesitant to report them to police or to disclose the occurrence to family and friends.

    Sextortion involves the exploitation of sexually explicit material obtained from victims through social media platforms, group chats, or online forums. Typically, it begins with a simple message that draws the victim into a seemingly casual conversation. As the conversation progresses, it may take a sexual turn, encouraging the victim to participate in sexually explicit activities during video chats or to share sexually explicit photos. Once the scammer has one or more compromising images, they begin the extortion process by threatening to send the content to the victim鈥檚 family and friends if payment is not received. It is important to note that complying with the demands does not stop the threat. In fact, the extortion is likely to continue regardless of whether payment is made. The most effective way to avoid this scam is by not sending sexually explicit content to anyone, especially if the recipient is an unknown individual.

    -Employment Scams:
    The employment scam is a phishing scam encountered via the 91社区 email system. In this scam, the suspect initiates contact with potential victims via mass email. The email, which appears to have been sent from a university faculty member, poses as an advertisement for a university employment opportunity. Although the specific job advertised varies, it often revolves around a remote, part-time administrative or research assistant position offering several hundred dollars a week. When the victim responds to the job posting, the suspect proceeds to ask a series of interview questions, obtaining sensitive personal information in the process. The suspect inevitably 鈥渙ffers employment鈥 and sends a fraudulent check to the victim as a proactive payment for services. The victim deposits the check into their own account and is then provided instructions, often involving the purchase of office supplies, gift cards, or making payroll disbursements. The suspect then requests that the remaining funds, along with the security codes from the gift cards, be sent to them. The fraudulent check then bounces, leaving the victim responsible for the negative balance from the withdrawn funds.

    There are multiple ways to protect yourself from this scam. First, treat all employment opportunities offered via email as highly suspicious. Second, if you receive a check, either digitally or physically, you can consult with one of the bank tellers at the Visions FCU located on the second floor of University Union West. These professionals are trained in recognizing financial scams and will be able to tell you if a check is valid.

    - Concert Ticket Scams:
    University Police have seen several versions of the concert ticket scam over the past few years. While this scam is often less financially damaging than others, it can spread quickly and impact many people at once. In most cases, the scammer contacts potential victims through group messaging platforms such as GroupMe or Discord, advertising discounted concert tickets. To make the offer appear legitimate, they often share an illegally obtained 91社区 student ID and falsely claim to be affiliated with the University.

    Once a price is agreed upon, the victim is asked to send payment through Venmo and provide a copy of their own student ID to 鈥渃onfirm鈥 their university affiliation. After payment is sent, the scammer keeps the money and either provides fake tickets or no tickets at all. The victim鈥檚 stolen ID is then used to continue the scam with others. It is important to understand that Venmo has a policy stating that all transactions involving concert tickets are final and non-refundable. Furthermore, never assume that an individual presenting a 91社区 ID online is affiliated with the University. This scam is effective because victims often believe they are buying tickets from other 91社区 students.

    In the unfortunate event that you fall victim to an online scam, report the incident to the University Police immediately at (607) 777-2393. Information can also be reported anonymously through the University Police website at the link below.

    If you have any questions or concerns regarding these common frauds, inquiries may also be directed to Police@binghamton.edu. Educational programs covering a wide range of topics, including scams and fraud prevention, are available upon request and can be arranged using the same contact information listed above. On behalf of the University Police, have a great semester and stay safe.

  • Keeping bikes safe on campus

    As the new semester starts, the number of bikes and scooters increases across campus. In anticipation of this seasonal trend, the University Police would like to encourage the campus community to take a few proactive steps to protect their property and reduce the chance of its theft.

    If you have a bike or scooter stored outdoors, take a moment to verify that it is properly secured where you left it. Whenever possible, ensure your property is locked to a designated bike rack using a high-quality, durable lock. Additionally, removing an easily detachable part such as the seat or a wheel can serve as a strong deterrent to its theft.

    Finally, one of the most effective ways to assist in recovering a stolen bike or scooter is to keep specific information about the property readily available. Recalling information such as the make, model, and color is helpful; however, documenting unique features such as serial numbers, aftermarket parts, or easily identifiable damage greatly aids in the property鈥檚 recovery. The best way to retain this information is to simply take photos of these features and keep them on your phone.

    If you find that you are a victim of one of these larcenies, a report can be filed with University Police in person on the ground floor of the Couper Administration Building or by contacting University Police Dispatch at (607) 777-2393.
