    NEW STUDENTS!

    Welcome to Binghamton University!

    CULTURE CONNECTS is the official

    newsletter of the MRC. This edition is

    provided during Orientation and the

    summer months to help new students &

    families get acclimated to our cultural

    student group community and the greater

    community by providing a listing of

    minority owned businesses in our area that

    provide goods & services you need and a

    listing of religious establishments to help

    make the transition to our city feel more like home! Our

    September newsletter will provide a survey for

    student feedback on local business use, ideas

    for cultural programming and a detailed

    calendar of MRC events for the Fall Semester.

    Contact us at [email protected] or by phone

    (607) 777-4472. We look forward to serving you!

    About the Multicultural Resource Center

    MISSION STATEMENTThe mission of the Multicultural Resource Center at

    Binghamton University is to educate the campus

    community through initiatives designed to increase

    endeavor and in navigating our world. The MRC

    facilitates programs and activities supporting the

    recruitment, retention, personal and professional

    development of all students with special emphasis
