  • Binghamton University Art Museum to receive $29,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts

    The Binghamton University Art Museum is pleased to announce it has been approved by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) for a Grants for Arts Projects award of $29,000.

    This grant will support the Fall 2024 exhibition, "Homelands: Contemporary Haudenosaunee Art Across New York." In total, the NEA will award 1,135 Grants for Arts Projects awards totaling more than $37 million as part of its second round of fiscal year 2024 grants.

    “Projects like 'Homelands: Contemporary Haudenosaunee Art Across New York' exemplify the creativity and care with which communities are telling their stories, creating connection and responding to challenges and opportunities in their communities — all through the arts,” said NEA Chair, Maria Rosario Jackson. “So many aspects of our communities, such as cultural vitality, health and wellbeing, infrastructure and the economy are advanced and improved through investments in art and design, and the National Endowment for the Arts is committed to ensuring people across the country benefit.”

    "Homelands: Contemporary Haudenosaunee Art Across New York" unites multigenerational Haudenosaunee artists and knowledge holders who center their historical relationship and reciprocity to the land, air and waters across New York State. Working through diverse practices including photography, painting, sculpture, basketry, beadwork and documentary, the landscape is not a backdrop, but integral to Haudenosaunee culture and lived experience, which is woven into the work. The exhibition serves as a visual form of Indigenous knowledge sharing. It reclaims space and history through art, inviting visitors to reconnect with the land beneath their feet.

    The exhibition will open from 5-7 p.m. Thursday, September 5, and remain on view through Saturday, December 7. All events are free and open to the public.

  • All e-transportation devices on campus must be registered

    Lithium-ion batteries are found in many consumer e-transportation devices due to their small size, power output and versatility. Binghamton University is heavily invested in researching emerging energy storage technology related to Li-ion batteries. While our researchers are busy creating future energy solutions, consumer-grade lithium batteries are plentiful and present hazards that must be managed for the safety of all campus community members.

    All e-transportation devices powered by a lithium-ion battery such as e-bikes, e-scooters and e-hoverboards brought to, stored or charged on campus must be registered. There is no fee to do so, and the process is simple. Note that you will need to provide photos of each device and battery. You can access the registration form via phone or computer at the link below. This registration does not apply to battery-operated devices such as — but not limited to — laptops, desktop computers, iPads, tablets, cell phones, ADA Mobility Devices, etc.

  • Free mental health training until May 31

    SUNY System Administration currently has a Garrett Lee Smith Suicide Prevention grant with the NYS Office of Mental Health. Through this grant, SUNY offers free access to "Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR) Suicide Prevention Gatekeeper" training to students, faculty, staff and other SUNY community members. The training is free until May 31.

    QPR is an evidence-based emergency mental health intervention for people at risk of suicide. The goal of QPR is to recognize a suicide crisis, interrupt it and direct the person to appropriate care.

    Like CPR, QPR works to increase an at-risk individual's chance of survival. People trained in QPR are taught to recognize the warning signs of suicide, which include depression, expressions of hopelessness and talk of suicide. Participants are then taught how to respond.

    The training course only takes an hour and could help save a life. If you are interested in becoming certified in QPR, follow the below instructions:

    1. Follow the link below,
    2. Type in "SUNY" for the organization code;
    3. Click "Create Training Account";
    4. Log in to the QPR Gatekeeper website at: http://www.qprtraining.com
    5. Enter your user info in the applicable “case-sensitive” fields; and
