Welcome to Binghamton University! The class of 2017 has arrived
at
an historic moment in history. Never before has a sitting
President of
the United States visited our campus! Opening weekend brings
excitement for both the campus and greater community. The
political climate as it relates to cultural initiatives took
center stage in
politics and in the media this summer. Many of those issues
will
drive the programming initiatives for the MRC. CULTURE
CONNECTS
is the official newsletter of the MRC. The MRC is your source
of
information for all cultural group programs, special upcoming
events,
workshops , trainings and ways to get involved both on and
off
campus! Our goal is to help you get acclimated to our campus
and
the Binghamton area. Inside this issue, check out our listing
of
cultural groups you can join at Binghamton! Browse our listing
of
minority-owned businesses in the area. Whether you need
cultural
foods to remind you of home, a local religious establishment,
salon or
even a taxi, weve got you covered in the MRC! Visit our website
for
all the latest in contests and activities. Like us on Facebook
