As a recent grad during the 2008 economic downturn, Hadassah Mativetsky ’07, MS ’12, worked as a server at a banquet hall in downtown Binghamton.
The Binghamton University Alumni Association held an event there during one of her shifts, and Mativetsky saw how the University honored distinguished graduates as well as young up-and-comers who were making a difference for their alma mater. The evening’s key messages and convivial atmosphere stoked her Binghamton pride which, it must be noted, was already pretty high.
“I’d be standing on the sidelines waiting to refill people’s water and watching the speeches,” she said. “I had a realization that alumni can be really engaged and have an impact on the University.”
