President's message:
Alumni donors hit a home run

Binghamton alumni have yet another accomplishment to be proud of: The Campaign for Binghamton University, 1996-2002, the University's first capital campaign, has been a resounding success! Thanks in large measure to our alumni, the campaign reached its $36 million goal in October 2001, 20 months ahead of schedule. It achieved or exceeded 100 percent of the target amount in each goal area. The campaign closed June 30, 2002 -- one year earlier than planned -- after raising about $43.7 million.
