Community Impact Report

Estimates of the University’s annual contribution to the local economy top $400 million, with University research and scholarship contributing an estimated $40 million per year or more.

Still, the true scope of the impact of University research and sponsored programs cannot be defined in economic terms alone. The presence of a vibrant research University in the community provides other, less tangible benefits that dramatically improve quality of life for us all. Whether it’s the development of life-saving products, the creation of significant works of art and scholarship, or the sharing of expertise and equipment with community partners, Binghamton University affects the economy and culture of the region and spurs scientific and technological progress across New York, the nation and the globe.
