Welcome to Binghamton University! The class of 2017 has arrived at
an historic moment in history. Never before has a sitting President of
the United States visited our campus! Opening weekend brings
excitement for both the campus and greater community. The
political climate as it relates to cultural initiatives took center stage in
politics and in the media this summer. Many of those issues will
drive the programming initiatives for the MRC. CULTURE CONNECTS
is the official newsletter of the MRC. The MRC is your source of
information for all cultural group programs, special upcoming events,
workshops , trainings and ways to get involved both on and off
campus! Our goal is to help you get acclimated to our campus and
the Binghamton area. Inside this issue, check out our listing of
cultural groups you can join at Binghamton! Browse our listing of
minority-owned businesses in the area. Whether you need cultural
foods to remind you of home, a local religious establishment, salon or
even a taxi, weve got you covered in the MRC! Visit our website for
all the latest in contests and activities. Like us on Facebook and sign
