Message from the President:

Hi, Bearcats! My name is McKenzie, and I am the Student Association President for the 2025-2026 year.

The SA is independent of the University, a non-profit organization whose primary purpose is to better the lives of the students at Binghamton. We accomplish this by chartering and supporting student clubs, funding and operating several businesses, and acting as the voice for undergraduate students across campus.

Do you want to start a new club at Binghamton? Reach out to the Executive Vice President or the Internal Affairs Committee!

Do you have an idea that will help promote inclusivity on campus? Contact the Vice President of Multicultural Affairs or the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee!

Is there a change you want to see made on the Binghamton campus, but you don’t know where to start? Reach out to me, the President, or one of our Congress Representatives!

The SA is here for YOU, so feel free to contact us with any questions or ideas you have that contribute to making Binghamton better.

In the meantime, read below to learn more about the Student Association and what we bring to the Binghamton community!

For now, be sure to follow us on Instagram @bing.sa.

SA Chartered Organizations University Food Policy

The University maintains a campus-wide food policy governing the use of food at any on-campus events.

All SA Chartered Organizations (in addition to the rest of the university community) are expected to know and follow the food policy. As you plan events with food, please be sure to read the new food policy in its entirety to ensure your organization does not get sanctioned for inadvertently violating this policy!
