First-Year Research Immersion (FRI)
The First-year Research Immersion (FRI) program provides first-year students with a three semester authentic research experience in sciences and engineering. Working alongside faculty and fellow students on cutting-edge research projects in their early college years, participants in the FRI program tackle weighty world issues, build powerful relationships, and set a course for college and career success.
Libraries Research Scholars
The Binghamton Libraries Research Scholars Program provides undergraduate students with experience working on a guided research project. Participating students work closely with library faculty or professional staff mentors on a library-related research project that strengthens research skills, and provides opportunities to build upon personal research interests. This program culminates in research posters and other academic works, as well as student presentations at Research Days and at the Libraries’ Research Scholars Poster Presentation.
Dissertations, Theses and Capstones
Graduates and recent graduates are encouraged to make their dissertations, capstones, and theses available online through the ORB. By sharing their work on the ORB, students have a place they can link to via resumes, websites or curriculum vitaes for prospective employers and to share with their current and future colleagues, family and friends. Works shared on the ORB reach a global audience, and you will be able to see the reach and impact of your work across the world through the author dashboard feature.
