Hello! Opening night here at Caramoor went so smoothly. It was an incredible night! If you missed my last blog, this past Saturday was opening night, and the Opera singer Susan Graham performed with the Orchestra of St. Luke’s. She was quite amazing! The orchestra played Beethoven’s 5th, as well as Rossini and Mozart. Gala attendees ate dinner, watched the concert, and had fun at an After Dark party, where the Timba band Tiempo Libre played. They were really energetic and exciting to watch!... Read Full Story

I really can’t believe that Summer Session One is already over. Time goes by so fast, this also means that I am almost done with my research. I am researching the correlation between homework grades and exam grades of students in of the Graduate Engineering classes. I am really putting to use my three semester of Statistics researching this topic. Even the research has been great, one of the best things about this summer is Binghamton. Usually during the school year I am so busy with school w... Read Full Story

Greetings!  I’m Kate, a 2008 BU grad who is taking on the role of a Binghamton MythBuster.  I’m sure you’ve seen that on the TV show they do more than explain how something may or may not be scientifically possible. Through trial and error they actually demonstrate it.  In this same fashion, my mission: shatter the myth that there is nothing to do in Binghamton. There is no excuse for boredom.  Since all life experiences contribute to the biases in our opinions, here’s ... Read Full Story

My name is Brian McCann. I am originally from from the small town of Cooperstown in upstate NY. You probably know Cooperstown because of the Baseball Hall of Fame. Fun fact: I had my first ever summer job there when I was 14.  After I graduated high school I was an exchange student for one year in Maebashi, Japan. When I’m home I spend a lot of time out on our local lake and am usually pretty good about applying sunscreen. I’m majoring in Cinema and Asian Studies but have a lot of other ... Read Full Story

Hello again! This summer I am working at Caramoor, Center for Music and the Arts in Westchester, NY. Caramoor is a beautiful garden. The grounds used to be owned by the Rosens, a wealthy family in the early part of the 1900s, who loved antiques for their beauty and built a Spanish-style summer house in “the country.” Now a non-profit, Caramoor carries on the family’s tradition of summer music festivals, featuring all kinds of music! This season there are operas, Sonidos Latinos (a series ... Read Full Story

Peer advisors do exactly what their title suggests, that is, they advise their peers.  Many advising and student services offices on campus rely on student workers/interns to act as the first line of contact with faculty, staff, and other students.  Harpur Academic Advising began employing peer advisors through an external grant almost three decades ago.  Because of the program’s success, Harpur College continued to provide budget support for the program after the grant ended.  Since then, th...
