Congratulations to our graduating student employees!
The Libraries is proud to be the University’s top student employer on campus. Across all our locations, our student employees help keep the Libraries running whether it is shelving books, working behind the scenes cataloguing or assisting guests at our Access Services desk. To celebrate every graduate who has worked the Libraries, we have a list of all student employees by graduating class on the Libraries’ website. A big thank you to all our student employees who played a part in advancing teaching and learning at Binghamton University.
In honor of this year’s graduation, here is a highlight of some of our graduates we are celebrating at this year’s commencement! We wish our graduates all the best as they continue with their next chapter!
