The Watson School has a long history of support starting with IBM's gift of computers that provided us with a technical advantage as we launched the School in 1983, and following through to individuals like J. Donald Ahearn, Annette Van Howe, Rudy and Yvonne Lawson, Gary Kunis '73 and Geraldine MacDonald '68, MS '73 who established scholarship endowments to support our talented student body. We are also able to maintain our technological edge thanks to friends and alumni in the corporate world who make gifts of state-of-the-art equipment possible.
Today, alumni and friends – both with major contributions and with sustaining gifts made through the Binghamton Fund annual solicitation - provide funds for scholarships and graduate student fellowships, instructional technology, student activities, classroom renovation and remodeling, student and faculty research projects, course development and other academic initiatives.
Corporate partners, foundation leaders and individuals regularly ask about the participation of our alumni. We are proud that our alumni participation continues to grow each year. When our alumni support the Watson School, it shows that you value where your education came from, and are willing to invest in where we're going.
