Cocoa & Connections: A New Student Welcome invites new Spring 2026 students to embrace the warmth of friendship in a cozy fireside lounge in Binghamton's Marketplace. Join us for an evening filled with hot cocoa, freshly baked cookies, and the chance to forge meaningful connections with fellow new students. This program provides a relaxed setting for newcomers to engage in friendly conversations, share experiences, and build lasting bonds. Let this cozy event create a welcoming atmosphere as you embark on your journey to connect with other Binghamton transfer students. Welcome to a community where every sip of cocoa and every bite of a cookie brings you closer to a network of new friends.
