BINGHAMTON, NY -- Visions Federal Credit Union está otorgando una generosa donación para respaldar el éxito de los estudiantes atletas de Binghamton University.
Este reciente apoyo de Visions ayudará a renovar el Centro para el Éxito de Estudiantes Atletas, un valioso recurso académico para estudiantes atletas. Representantes de la universidad y de Visions confirmaron el acuerdo en una ceremonia de la firma de la donación que tuvo lugar el martes 19 de febrero en Koffman Lobby, en el centro de eventos de Binghamton University.
"This generous gift from Visions Federal Credit Union will be transformational for our department and, most important, our student-athletes," said Binghamton Director of Athletics Patrick Elliott. "It 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."
No es la primera vez que Visions Federal Credit Union y Binghamton University trabajan conjuntamente como socios comunitarios, según observó el presidente de la universidad, Harvey Stenger.
"Visions 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," Stenger said. "We deeply appreciate Visions' dedication to strengthening the University and elevating the student experience at Binghamton."
The Student-Athlete Success Center, located in Binghamton University's 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.
"As a former college athlete, I can relate to the benefits of having a place to keep academics at the forefront," Visions President and CEO Ty Muse said. "Whether it's 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 – and outside – of the classroom."
"Our student-athletes have a pronounced record of academic achievement," Elliott said. "I 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."
Visions Federal Credit Union también tiene una sucursal de servicio completo en University Union y cuatro cajeros automáticos (ATM) en ubicaciones convenientes dentro del campus de Binghamton University.
