The bond that alumni Sandra Alpern ’70 and Richard Alpern ’69 have with Binghamton University is strong and they believe that their educational experiences have improved their lives. By giving back to Binghamton, they ensure that similar enrichment opportunities are available to others.
Impressed with the innovative ideas brimming at the pilot Digital Scholarship Center at the Science Library, the Alperns recently pledged a gift to the Libraries in support of the permanent center that is now established on Bartle Library’s third floor.
“The ability to work on digital projects is a key area that every student should know and impacts all fields,” Richard Alpern said. “Our gift to the digital scholarship center is intended to contribute to positioning the Libraries as a nexus of expertise in teaching, learning and research through collaboration on digital projects, workshops and small group lectures.”
For Sandra Alpern, access is key to the learning experience.
“Libraries have always been very important to me,” Sandra Alpern said. “Providing students with access to a wide range of digital resources, available 24/7, seemed a natural project for us to support.”
The Alperns believe in Binghamton and they believe in you!
