  BFA exhibition April 10-24: "Convergence"

  The eighteen graduating Binghamton University Art and Design Bachelor of Fine Arts students will feature their works in the exhibition "Convergence" from April 10-24.

Rosefsky Memorial Art Gallery, Fine Arts 259. The exhibition is free and open to the public.

It symbolizes not just an ending but a powerful moment of synthesis between these artists before they progress on to their next chapters. It highlights the conjunction of unique perspectives that define this graduating class. "Convergence" suggests both a meeting point and a moment of transformation — where individual paths merge, yet retain their distinct influence.
  
  Binghamton University’s Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) is a pre-professional degree with an intensive focus on studio art and design for students who wish to pursue arts-related careers. Students go on to work in a wide range of creative industries: as practicing artists after graduation or to pursue graduate degrees. Students can choose to concentrate on drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, printmaking or graphic design.
  
  The 2025 artists are: Kimora Bedeau, Shane Conklin, Sammy Feng, Emily Gangloff, Ashley Gibs, Haley Keener, Simon Liebskind, Margo MacWilliams, Alexis Magera, Andrew Nieves, Emily O'Reilly, Lucciana Robertson, Elizabeth Serjantov, Anh Sciscent, Mayna Sengsouvanh, Amiah Shoultes, Daisy Solis and Anna Stacey.

• Summer Research Immersion Program

  Summer Research Immersion Program

  Are you interested in getting involved in research and maybe even doing research this summer at Binghamton? If so, the First-year Research Immersion (FRI) program has summer research opportunities that might be right for you.
  
  The FRI summer programs provide science and engineering students with a one-of-a-kind research experience. Working alongside faculty and fellow students on cutting-edge research projects, you'll tackle weighty world issues, build powerful relationships and set a course for college and career success. This year the FRI program will be running its signature summer program, the Summer Research Immersion (SRI) program, along with the Fast-Track Research Immersion (FtRI) program.
  
  For Summer 2025, SRI will be running research in the Clean Energy (chemistry and physics) stream. Participants will spend the summer researching clean energy technologies and gain valuable experience and knowledge. SRI will run for ten weeks (Summer Sessions I and III, May 27-Aug. 1), and consist of two courses (Research Stream I CHEM 211 and II courses CHEM 311/PHYS 335, 8 credits total).
  
  Additionally, FtRI will be running research in our Environmental Visualization research stream. Participants will spend summer session 1 conducting collaborative research in this discipline. FtRI will run for five weeks during Summer Session 1 (May 30-June 30) and consist of one course (Research Stream I course, 4 credits). Following successful completion of FtRI, student researchers will be enrolled in the Fall 2025 FRI course (Research Stream II course, 4 credits) to complete the FRI program alongside current FRI students in the Environmental Visualization stream.
  
  Opportunities after these programs include continued research in faculty laboratories, industry internships and national fellowships. Both programs are competitive, application-based programs and will accept a limited number of students for the summer.
  
  More detailed information about programs can be found on the website, including a video explanation for these courses and the process of applying or registering: https://www.binghamton.edu/first-year-research-immersion/sri/index.html.

• Seeking trans and nonbinary identifying individuals for a study on vocal effort (paid)

  Seeking trans and nonbinary identifying individuals for a study on vocal effort (paid)

  The Vocal Effort Study is conducting research to investigate how gender identity and expression affect the amount of effort a person uses when they speak.
  
  The lab is recruiting trans-identifying individuals (those who are transgender, genderqueer, nonbinary, gender fluid, etc.) who are between 18-50 years of age, have healthy voice function and speak English as their first language.
  
  If eligible, participants will be asked to speak at a loud volume, like you would in a restaurant. They collect data from a microphone and participant self-ratings. 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.
