Culture and Heritage

Heritage Months and Cultural Recognition 

With students, faculty, staff and guests representing over 160 countries, Binghamton University values the unique and enriching cultural experiences that each community member brings to our campus. The University acknowledges or observes various heritage months and cultural/identity recognition days to celebrate the rich tapestry of the Binghamton community.

Members of our campus community may request accommodations for cultural and religious observances. Find a listing of some upcoming cultural and religious holidays and related policies in the faculty and staff handbook for guidance on providing reasonable and appropriate academic accommodations.
