Help Watson to EXCELERATE

YOU CAN HELP WATSON SHAPE THE FUTURE

 In less than four decades, the world has transformed at a lightning pace. So has the Thomas J. Watson College of Engineering and Applied Science. Since its founding in 1983,

Watson has rapidly grown into a hub of innovation, helping to power Binghamton University’s rise through academic rankings.

Amid this tremendous progress, a challenge remains: How to keep up with the constant expansion of knowledge and the data that drives this breakneck pace?

Watson needs — today more than ever — to shape engineers, computer scientists and applied scientists who can develop solutions and take leadership roles in the grand challenges facing the world.

“Watson College is emblematic of Binghamton University’s rapid evolution and penchant for innovation. We are aiming even higher, to become the best public engineering school in the nation. Your investment in EXCELERATE is an investment in our outstanding students and faculty. Your support drives our success.”

— Watson College Dean and Distinguished Professor Krishnaswami “Hari” Srihari

“Watson students are impressive. I give because Binghamton serves a very diverse community facing many challenges to complete a college education. It’s the opportunity many students need to make a difference.”

— Binghamton University Foundation Board Development Committee Chair Geraldine MacDonald ’68, MS ’73, LittD ’17
