  Seeking trans and nonbinary identifying individuals assigned male at birth for a study on vocal effort (paid)

  Binghamton University's Vocal Gender Lab is conducting a research study to investigate how gender identity and expression affect the amount of effort a person uses when they speak. If eligible, participants will be asked to speak at a loud volume, like you would in a restaurant. The lab collects data from a microphone and participant self-ratings.
  
  We are recruiting trans-identifying individuals (those who are transgender, genderqueer, nonbinary, gender fluid, etc.) who:
  - Were assigned male at birth (AMAB)
  - Are between 18 – 50 years of age
  - Have healthy voice function
  - Speak English as their first language
  
  To determine eligibility, complete the survey at the link below.
  
  The experiment takes place at Binghamton University’s JC Building, 10 Gannet Drive, next to the Johnson City Walmart, and takes approximately 1.5-2 hours to complete. Compensation is $20/hour.
  
  For more information, email Nichole Houle at vocalgenderlab@gmail.com or call (607) 777-4729 and ask for the Vocal Effort Study.

  Binghamton Move Out Project (MOP) seekeing donations

  If you’re moving when the semester ends, don’t throw away the stuff you can’t take!
  
  The Binghamton Move Out Project (MOP) is a volunteer-run initiative aimed at diverting waste from the landfill and giving back to the community during spring move-out. The project collects and donates items from students moving out of their college housing to local community charities. Last year, the team was able to divert over 20,000 pounds of waste from the landfill, including clothes, non-perishable food, books, electronics and more!
  
  HOW TO DONATE:
  - Drop off at a bin: From May 5-20, there will be bins located at the following locations: C4 Multipurpose Room, CIW Iroquois Commons, Appalachian Dining Hall, Hinman Dining Hall, Hillside Commons, Susquehanna Coffee House and the University Union. Students can drop their items in a bin at any time when the buildings are open.
  
  - Drop off at an outdoor collection site: From 2-5 p.m. Wednesday, May 14-15 and from 8-10 a.m. Friday, May 16, there will be six outdoor collection stations on campus: Outside of the CIW and Hinman dining halls, one on the Dickinson quad, one in Old Dickinson in the grass between the building entrance and Lot B, and one in Newing between Delaware and Broome, in the Southeast corner of Broome. View a map of outdoor collection sites and bin locations at the link below.
  
  - Sign up for a pick up or drop off appointment from May 12-31 (off-campus students only). Once your submission is received, the project will assign volunteers to pick up your items, or arrange for you to drop the items off to the sorting room. The form can be found at: tinyurl.com/DonateMOP2025
  NOTE: You must sign up at least three days in advance to guarantee a pick up.
