WORKING WITH CIC2020
Initial funding was provided by the Stephen David Ross University and Community Projects Fund, Provost Mary Ann Swain, and the Southern Tier Opportunity Coalition. Thanks to the support, CIC 2020 has managed to covered the costs of administering the CIC Leadership Institute for two years. The group's initiatives cannot happen without the support of its sponsors. All donations are tax deductible. Checks can be payable to: BU Foundation #10474. MENTORS A component of the CIC Leadership Institute includes matching participants with experienced professionals in the community who can offer insight about their careers and give students an idea of what it is like to live and work in Greater Binghamton. College students generally struggle with indecisiveness and thus greatly benefit from the guidance of those who have "been there and done that". CIC2020 has recently expanded its efforts, developing the CIC Career Partnership, and increasing the need for mentors. GUEST SPEAKERS For many of the CIC Leadership Institute classroom sessions, the CIC2020 Directorate invites guest speakers to lead discussion on various topics pertaining to community and economic development. CIC-LI HOSTS & COORDINATORS From January through May, participants in the CIC Leadership Institute attend weekly sessions at various venues in the community. Coordinators work with a member of the CIC2020 Directorate to prepare a session geared toward student interests. The format depends upon a given session's theme, but most sessions generally include several speakers or panelists, tours, workshop activities, and discussions. MOVERS & SHAKERS Brainstorming ideas for new initiatives and for ways to improve existing initiatives is a constant endeavor for CIC2020.
