  • Campus mourns August Mueller, former biology professor

    August Mueller, 91, a former biology professor and longtime Newing College faculty master, died on Nov. 3, 2024.

    Born in Fargo, N.D., Mueller graduated from Moorhead State University with a degree in mathematics. He continued his education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, earning a master's and doctorate in zoology-immunology. He was also an NSF postdoctoral fellow at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. Mueller served as an associate professor at Binghamton University from 1962-98. He came to Binghamton having played a part in the discovery that lymphocytes, considered at the time to be just one cell type, were actually of two origins, so-called T cells and B cells. He retired in August 1998, but continued for many years to come to seminars.

    Mueller was an active member of several outdoor organizations, such as Southern Tier Bicycle Club, Triple Cities Hiking Club and Naturalist Club, and co-founded Binghamton Outdoor Pursuits. Known to some as Mr. Bicycle, he was an active rider, leading trips and events.

    A celebration of Mueller's life is being planned and will be announced. Arrangements for the family are directed by the DeMunn Funeral Home. To forward condolences, visit the link below.

  • Baxter the Bearcat usage

    To maintain the integrity of campus branding and imagery, Binghamton University is implementing a policy to streamline the usage of the image of Baxter the Bearcat across all campus platforms and materials. While Baxter is a beloved symbol of the campus community, it's important to emphasize that Baxter is a member of the Bearcats Athletics family and represents the entire university, and want to ensure that the image is used in a way that reflects this identity.

    This decision is aimed at preserving the special and distinctive nature of Baxter’s image. By carefully managing its use, Binghamton University can uphold the strong association and emotional connection that Baxter represents for all students, faculty and alumni.

    We kindly ask that all departments, divisions and organizations on and off campus refrain from using Baxter’s image without prior approval from the Division of Athletics. Athletics is working in collaboration with the Division of Communications and Marketing to create an artwork of Baxter.

    Your cooperation in helping uphold this standard is appreciated, and you are encouraged to reach out if you have any questions or need guidance on appropriate use. Thank you for your understanding and support.

  • Mid-point for annual SEFA campaign

    Dear University Community,

    As we reach the mid-point of our State Employees Federated Appeal* (SEFA), we want to thank those from our campus who have already stepped up and given to the campaign, and remind those who have not had an opportunity yet that there is still plenty of time.

    As a reminder, if you donated to last year's campaign and want to continue with that same pledge, then you do not have to do anything! Your continuous pledge will carry forward to next year. If you are new to campus or new to the campaign, we encourage you to take advantage of the SEFA online system where you can make your donation quickly and easily.

    The campaign provides an opportunity for faculty and staff to donate to local and state-wide charities that depend on contributions to continue their good work. Donations can be directed to specific agencies, so your gift to a local organization can remain in your community.

    Find all you need to know on the University's SEFA website at the link below.

    Last year, we surpassed our campus goal, thanks to many University staff and faculty who generously contributed, and we are once again working towards our $60,000 campaign goal. We are confident that, with your help, we will be able to achieve and surpass this year's goal by Dec. 1, when we wrap up our campaign.

    This year's SEFA theme is "Start Something Good." We encourage you to consider a contribution, whether great or small and help us start something good today.

    Thank you,
    Harvey Stenger, President, and
    Darcy Fauci, SEFA Campaign Chair


    *Why SEFA?

    SEFA is the most efficient way to give to a charity/organization of your choice. Your contribution helps fund a multitude of community programs and services.

    With SEFA, you don't have to make multiple payments or write multiple checks to various organizations throughout the year.
    SEFA raises money for service providers at a far lower cost than if providers did this themselves.

    SEFA offers the advantage of payroll deduction which enables people to support charities more generously than they could in a one-time effort.

    SEFA offers the best way to help not only your favorite service provider but your entire community.

    The SADDI Grant was created to streamline funding through Binghamton University’s Road Map strategic plan. This process allows divisional offices to compete for funds that assist with student-focused programming that promotes social justice and/or celebrates diversity.

    Some guidelines for the program include:

    - Grant funding seeks to aid in retention initiatives for underrepresented minority students.
    - Due to limited funds, SADDI grants are not intended to sustain programming but instead are "seed" funds that help launch diversity initiatives.
    - Departments are encouraged to collaborate on projects and programs with each other.
    - Student organizations must partner or be sponsored by a department of mutual interest for eligibility.
    - Creative, innovative and technological ideas are welcomed!

  • School of Computing Invited Speaker series: Nov. 8

    Join the School of Computing for an Invited Speaker series featuring Alex Jones from noon to 1 p.m. Friday, Nov. 8, in EB T1. The lecture is titled "Quantum Topology and ISA Collaborative Optimizations for Reduced Noise NISQ Circuits."

    The promise of quantum computation comes from the ability to entangle multiple qubits to solve complex computing problems. Current quantum computer offerings, such as the superconducting-based quantum machines offered by IBM and Google, are strongly entrenched in the Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) class of machines. Unfortunately, the noise in these machines limits the size of quantum circuits that can be realized before noise channels overcome the work of the quantum circuit. By working collaboratively between the quantum device design, quantum architecture and quantum transpilation flow, it is possible to significantly decrease circuit depth and increase the problem size that can be computed in NISQ machines. Jones will also discuss a new transpilation approach called MIRAGE that takes advantage of mirror gates to improve circuit depth in the case of restricted radix topologies and for better decomposition in high-radix topologies.

    Alex K. Jones is the Klaus Schroder Endowed Chair professor of engineering and computer science and department chair of EECS (electrical engineering and computer science) at Syracuse University. From 2020-24, he served in a variety of roles at the NSF including program director and cluster lead in CISE/CNS/CSR (computer and information science and engineering/computer and network systems/computer systems research) and deputy division director of ENG/ECCS (engineering/electrical, communications and cyber systems). Jones is well known for advancing the field of sustainable computing with full lifecycle carbon modeling and optimization and actively developing nanoscale magnetic memory systems, including spin-transfer-torque and Racetrack memories, with an emphasis on processing in memory. Recently he has been investigating quantum system codesign, including design of basis gates, topologies and transpilation from resonator devices to systems. He is the author of more than 200 publications in these areas and his research is funded by the NSF, DARPA, NSA, ARO and LPS.

  • “Roman Religious and the Citizen of Empire, 200-450 CE”: Nov. 13

    Join CEMERS for a lecture titled “Roman Religious and the Citizen of Empire, 200-450 CE” at 3 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 13, in the IASH Conference Room, LN 1106.

    The Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, co-sponsored by the Departments of History and Middle Eastern and Ancient Mediterranean Studies, hosts guest speaker Carl Rice, visiting assistant professor of Greek and Roman studies at Vassar College.

    Starting in the middle of the third century CE, late Roman imperial lawmakers increasingly legislated imperial subjects’ religious identities. Rulers employed a range of legal mechanisms to enforce certain permissible forms of religious identity in their efforts to do so. The legal interventions to which lawmakers turned embraced the three major aspects of Roman civil law: the law of persons, the law of things and the law of actions. Each of these fields of Roman law comprised an important body of rights and privileges traditionally associated with Roman citizenship. In this lecture, Rice contends that conformity to normative expectations about religious identity increasingly governed access to the rights and privileges of Roman citizen-subjects. This process took place after the emperor Caracalla granted near-universal enfranchisement in 212 and the old mechanism for determining access to legal rights — namely the possession of Roman citizenship — became essentially obsolete. Through contextualized reading of extant laws about religion, he shows how normative rules about religious identity took on a new role in determining to whom the rights and privileges of Roman citizenship pertained. In other words, Roman rulers turned to religion, among other categories of identity, to limit and control imperial subjects’ legal rights as the possession of citizenship became more common.
