Becoming a Bearcat SUNY Binghamton Orientation

In this final episode of the season, the hosts will discuss components of New Student and Family Orientation that attendees have to look forward to. Listeners will hear about different campus departments that will be in attendance and opportunities for socializing and networking.

Though in no way an extensive list of all that campus has to offer, this episode will include information about annual events related to career-readiness, getting acclimated to campus, building relationships, and finding a sense of belonging.

Hear some suggestions regarding budgeting, academic success, time management, and ways to stay happy and healthy during one’s initial transition to Binghamton University. 

Welcome to Episode 1 of Season 3! In addition to the amenities Binghamton University offers on campus, the surrounding community is full of restaurants, parks, sporting events, and festivals for students to attend and participate in year round. We will discuss some of them in this episode.

On the 4th and FINAL episode of Season 2 of "Becoming a Bearcat" we bring on staff to talk about what the move-in process for Fall 2022 will look like as well as the BWelcome program for new and returning students. Student co-hosts Kylie and Mo also talk about their personal experiences with move-in and the first few weeks of their freshman year at Binghamton!

Episode 4's song is by Yard Party, a local Binghamton band formed by current professional staff at Binghamton University and alumni! You can check out Yard Party on Instagram @yardpartyofficial and hear their full-length album on Spotify called "In Search of an Exit".

On the 3rd episode of Season 2 of "Becoming a Bearcat" we bring on students and staff to share the amazing resources we have on campus related to supporting a student's academic success and degree completion.

Episode 3's song is by Akiva, a current Binghamton University student! Visit his linktree to follow his social media pages and hear more of his music on Spotify! Akiva had this to say about his music: "I make all types of rap music that honestly can't be traced back to a single genre. Every project I make, I try to sound sonically different. My ep "Searching for Wonderland" is definitely rage, meanwhile my first project "Welcome to the Wolf Pack" is more trap sounding. Also, my upcoming projects "Brooklyns Finest", "You" and "Skywalker" are all extremely different ranging from a blend of old school rap and newer ideas, to romance and heartbreak, and finally a spacey hard hitting sound."

Special shout-out to Sarah Zarember again for her original "Becoming a Bearcat" song as our closer.
