Visions Federal Credit Union is bestowing a generous gift to support student-athlete success at Binghamton University. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This most-recent support from Visions will help renovate the Student-Athlete Success Center, a valuable academic resource for student-athletes. Representatives from the University and Visions confirmed the agreement at a gift-signing ceremony on Tuesday, Feb. 19, in the Koffman Lobby of the Events Center at Binghamton University. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis generous gift from Visions Federal Credit Union will be transformational for our department and, most important, our student-athletes,\u201d said Binghamton Director of Athletics Patrick Elliott. \u201cIt will allow us to make dramatic improvements to our Student-Athlete Success Center, and in doing so it will foster an enhanced environment of academic excellence that is befitting of this great University.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is not the first time Visions Federal Credit Union and Binghamton University have worked together as community partners, noted University President Harvey Stenger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cVisions has been a great friend to Binghamton University with its continued commitment to athletics and previous support to establish the financial wellness area in the Fleishman Center for Career and Professional Development on campus and Visions Think Tank at the Koffman Southern Tier Incubator in downtown Binghamton,\u201d Stenger said. \u201cWe deeply appreciate Visions\u2019 dedication to strengthening the University and elevating the student experience at Binghamton.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Student-Athlete Success Center, located in Binghamton University\u2019s West Gym, offers a variety of helpful resources including computer labs, tutoring, advising and programming to help student-athletes stay organized, balance the demands of their sport and academics, and position themselves for success at Binghamton and beyond. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs a former college athlete, I can relate to the benefits of having a place to keep academics at the forefront,\u201d Visions President and CEO Ty Muse said. \u201cWhether it\u2019s collaborating on projects, catching up on assignments or learning from mentors, this dedicated resource will enhance support for the student-athletes and make them stronger performers inside \u2014 and outside \u2014 of the classroom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur student-athletes have a pronounced record of academic achievement,\u201d Elliott said. \u201cI know they will be excited to witness the renovations and the firm commitment we have to their collective pursuit of excellence. We are incredibly thankful for the generosity of Ty Muse and his team at Visions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
