Welcome to the Student of Color Affinity Community Page!

The Fleishman Center recognizes the historic challenges encountered by students of color at predominantly white institutions. This web page provides a space for students of color to connect with alumni, faculty, staff, and peers to create a strong network, share experiences, and be informed about events that empower your career success. We have a variety of resources for Black, Hispanic and Latinx, Native American and Indigenous Peoples, Asian and Pacific Islanders, and biracial students.  Explore events and articles that speak to your identity.

This web page is designed to be open to all Binghamton University students, faculty and staff regardless of race, color, national origin, or sex, and is consistent with all current governing federal and state nondiscrimination law.
