Transcript:
My name is Mark Newman, I graduated in 1971. I am Chairman, President, CEO of DRS Technologies.
I think the biggest thing about the education that I had here was the ability to think broadly about problems, analyze problems. Everything that I have done in my life goes back to that original focus. Maybe it is buried in philosophy somewhere, maybe a little bit in economics, maybe some history. But all those fields kind of came together in anything that I have done in my life, all the interests that I've had later on in my life.
The single most important thing that I learned in Binghamton was probably to respect my fellow man. I think going to school between 67 and 71 was a very tumultuous time in the history of United States and I gained real respect for different opinions, different philosophies, different thoughts and that's something that has stayed with me my whole life.
My fondest memory of Binghamton was the Grateful Dead concert in 1970. It was a blast. Otherwise it was working hard, trying to live in an incredibly oppressive weather condition, and just meeting a lot of pretty neat, smart people.

Transcript:
Hello, my name is Seth Schneider. I graduated in 2001 with my undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering from Binghamton University at the Watson School of Engineering. In 2003 I graduated with my master's degree in mechanical engineering. Currently, I'm a senior mechanical engineer with DRS Power Technology located at an office in Fitchburg, Mass.
The education at Binghamton University did lot for me. The first thing is the technical background; I thought the education was really fantastic. I learned a lot of solid foundations, the textbook knowledge, what I need in order to grow and build forward. The fact is what you learn in school is really just the foundation. It's just the roots from where you learn to grow. And what Binghamton taught me is how to continue that knowledge and continue to grow. The other is Binghamton is a small university and so gave me opportunity to interact and talk with people and help develop my social skills in the technical area, which you certainly need in order to be successful and in order to move forward. I certainly attribute the opportunity that I have received so far in my life to the education that I have gained at Binghamton.
I'd say that the single most important thing that I have learned is that you can always turn back around and reach back to the faculty because they want to help you. I was in the situation in 2001 when I had graduated with my undergraduate degree and my job offer was rescinded. I had the rug pulled out from under my feet, and the first place I turned back to was the university. I went back to my professors that I developed relationships with. I went over to some of the folks in dean's office that I developed relationships with and because at Binghamton I had the ability to develop those relationships, I found myself with ease being able to slide back in and obtain a master's degree. And it was also those relationships that introduced me to CEO of my corporation, which helped me obtain my first job in a very difficult job market.
My fondest memory I am going to have to say is meeting my wife, who is actually with me today. Her name is Xiaolin Tang (MS '03). My fondest memory and certainly the best thing that has happened to me in my life is meeting her, and had I not come back for my master's degree and had I not made some friends in the Chinese community who introduced me to her, I never would have met my wife.

My name is Josh Zieman. I am currently the vice president of marketing at the Blue Note Label Group, which is owned by EMI Music. I work in New York and I was in the graduating class of 1981.
I'd say my education and my time in Binghamton prepared me because it allowed me a lot of freedom and a chance to explore, which was very much the spirit of what Binghamton was about or Harpur College in specific back when I came on to school; a lot of exploration, a lot of freedom and a lot of opportunity on campus.

Transcript:
My name is Seth Mates. I graduated in 2000, and right now I'm an assistant news editor at Newsday down on Long Island.
I graduated only six years ago, and I have actually had some amazing opportunities thanks to my time at Binghamton. I graduated and I went to be a writer at World Wrestling Entertainment. I moved to California, worked in entertainment, got into a newspaper business, and now I'm working for I think it's the ninth-biggest paper in the country. I got my formal education at Binghamton but my real education at Pipe Dream, at WHRW, at BTV, all right here on campus. I learned more from late nights at WHRW over night shifts, mornings until 3 a.m. at Pipe Dream. I learned so much there that is invaluable to me for my day-to-day work, and I'm very fortunate.
The single most important thing I think I learned at Binghamton was anything is possible. I mean, when I came here there was no Bearcat. There were 35 people attending basketball games over at the East Gym. I said, "Well we can make something with this." You know my work at Pipe Dream and broadcasting games at WHRW and students got together and made it all possible. We made it happen and I would like to think without WHRW, without Pipe Dream, a lot of the students' institutions, there wouldn't be 4,000 people going to basketball games right now, that people wouldn't care about the Bearcat. You know, anything is possible when students get together, when they take their personalities, what they each bring to the table. There are so many opportunities on this campus. It's incredible. You just have to be able to find them. I knew the second I came here, when I was still in high school, the second I stepped foot on the campus-it was a rainy day, it was cloudy and it was absolutely disgusting outside-I knew I would spend my four years here.
My fondest memory at Binghamton was Feb. 3 and 4, 1999. Myself and three other people at the radio station, WHRW, did a 24-hour radio turn all over campus. Basketball game down at the West Gym. We promoted the last ever show at what used to be the Campus Pub. We raised lot of money for WHRW. It was a great bonding experience. You spend 24 hours with someone. I mean those are the college memories that you remember. One of the people we did the radio-thon with was Paul J. Battaglia '00, who was tragically killed on Sept. 11. So when I think back to my time at Binghamton, I think that memory is probably the one that stands out for so many reasons. Just having that time and that opportunity. It's one of those things I will never forget.

I am Richard Alpern. I graduated in 1969, and I am currently working as an executive compensation consultant in New York City.
My Binghamton education was invaluable in preparing me for law school and clearly in life in general. It taught me to think critically, which is an invaluable skill. I also met my wife here, which helped prepared me for life I suppose as well. So I have lot of fond memories from meeting my wife here as well. But to get an education of a quality that I did at Binghamton, at the cost that I got it, was really something.
When I graduated the resources, in the sense that they have today, were far more limited. There was no office of a pre-law adviser. But the education that I had and the advice that I had from professors were very helpful in getting me through college and trying to focus my attention on what I wanted to do.
The single most important thing that I learned in Binghamton was to be able to have a perspective on life that is more well rounded, that is not focused on just one thing. You can't have one aspect of the world dominate the rest of your life. You have to try to strike a balance. My fondest memory of Binghamton is meeting my wife.

Transcript:
My name is Donna Rhodes and I graduated from Binghamton in 1987 and my degree was in systems science, doctoral degree.
So, currently I am at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where I teach in the School of Engineering and I also do research at the university.
My education at Binghamton was an outstanding education. I came here as an undergraduate, did my undergraduate degree in Harpur College. I did my master's and doctoral degrees in Watson School of Engineering. I felt that all of my education here was an outstanding experience. The faculty was wonderful. The knowledge that I gained here was really on the forefront of whatever field at the time. So In fact it was head of its time in many ways. The things I learned here, particularly in my master's and doctoral program, are being used still in the work I do now, and many years later, people are rediscovering some things that we were doing here at Binghamton many years ago.
