Reservation requests for the Fall 2024 semester for the Mandela Room and Old Union Hall will open up beginning at 9 a.m. Wednesday, March 20. See the important information below regarding procedures:
- Before submitting an event request, check with your organization to see who should have B-There access to make requests. The "B-There Account Request Form" can be found on the Union website. The Union staff will continue to process B-There account requests to make sure your organization is updated. If you need to update your contact for the fall semester, submit the form by 5 p.m. Friday, March 15.
- Due to the high volume of requests for large event spaces, each organization will have the opportunity to request one space on a weekend (Friday, Saturday or Sunday) and one-weekday request (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday). Requests will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, and it is highly encouraged for organizations to submit a request with three preferred dates inside the request form, just in case first choices are not available.
- Each organization can submit a request through the B-There at the link below. When submitting a request, indicate the time needed for the entire event. For example, if your event runs from 4-7 p.m., select that as your event time. Union staff will add the necessary setup and breakdown times.
- Review The Union website to be up to date on all changes to reservation policies and guidelines. Review these carefully. By requesting and using large event spaces in the Union, you are agreeing to adhere to these policies and guidelines: https://www.binghamton.edu/services/union/index.html

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.
Binghamton University has established several safety guidelines for e-transportation users. To learn more about the policy, go to: https://www.binghamton.edu/operations/policies/policy-422.html

Free mental health training opportunity 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

Summer Research Opportunities with FRI
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 a brand new, online hybrid Research Methods course.
SRI will be running research in our Clean Energy (chemistry and physics) stream. Participants will spend the summer conducting research on clean energy technologies and gain valuable experience and knowledge. SRI will run for ten weeks (Summer Sessions I and III, May 28-Aug. 2), and consist of two courses (Research Stream I CHEM 211 and II courses CHEM 311/PHYS 335, 8 credits total). Opportunities after this program include continued research in faculty laboratories, industry internships and national fellowships. The SRI program is a competitive, application-based program and will accept between 10-16 students for the summer.
Our FRI Research Methods course (HARP 170) is a two-credit course that covers research as a process: how science works, how we figure out the next steps, how we reduce the inevitable risks and pitfalls and how we make discoveries that add to world knowledge and innovations. Class time primarily involves students applying the concepts of the research process including data collection, data management, initial analyses and presentation. This course will be offered in an online, hybrid model (synchronous and asynchronous) during Summer Session I and Summer Session II. Students successfully completing this course will receive an “O” general education requirement and will be considered for available spots in the FRI program during the Spring 2025 semester in one of our 11 research streams. Placement into FRI is not guaranteed but the goal is to provide the foundational skills required to be successful not just in FRI but in research labs across campus and beyond. There is no application required for this course; interested students need only register for the summer HARP 170 course.
More detailed information about our programs can be found on our website, including a video explanation for these courses and the process of applying or registering, at the link below.
Applications for SRI will open on Monday, Jan. 15, and will operate on rolling admissions with initial application review beginning March 8. The application deadline for SRI is March 31.
