2. NYSUNY 2020 GRANT APPLICATION 2

3. SUNY 2020 - Binghamton’s Energy Initiative Main objectives  Construct a state-of-the-art Smart Energy Research and Development Facility  foster public/private sector research partnerships, technology development, and jobs  Academic and research excellence  educational experiences for 2,000 additional students  hire 150 new faculty (40% in smart energy)  reduce average class size 3

4. SUNY 2020 - Binghamton’s Energy Initiative Under our plan all students will benefit  150 additional faculty means broader exposure of students to cutting-edge courses across the university  Lower student:faculty ratio from 21:1 to 19:1  150 additional faculty (an 18% increase) = 400 new undergraduate research opportunities  Research experience is on-the-job training  expanded course offerings means greater diversity of career options AND a fast track to graduation 4

5. SUNY 2020 - Binghamton’s Energy Initiative A unique plan  Binghamton University is unique in proposing enrollment growth as part of the NYSUNY 2020 grant proposal  Binghamton University received over 32,000 applications last year for an incoming class of 3,200 students  1,100 new resident hall beds underway to be online in fall 2013  Increased enrollment between 2011 and 2016  1,600 additional undergraduate students  400 additional graduate and professional students 5 Total 14,746 Total 16,746
