The Student Association worked with the Binghamton mayor's office and Office of Parks and Recreation to organize the event.

Fulbright Scholar Program now accepting applications for grants The Fulbright Scholar Program's annual competition is open for lecturing and research grants in some 130 countries.
Fulbright awards range from two months to an academic year or longer.
Although foreign language skills are needed in some countries, most lecturing assignments are in English. Some 80 percent of the awards are for lecturing. Applicants must be a U.S. citizen and hold a doctorate or comparable professional qualifications. For certain fields, such as the fine arts, the terminal degree in the field may be sufficient. For lecturing awards, university or college teaching experience is expected.
