WHO ARE THE CATALYSTS FOR INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL 2020?  
     

        CIC 2020 (KICK 20-20) is a student-run economic development think tank at Binghamton University whose efforts focus on reversing the "brain drain" of Greater Binghamton by working to increase the retention rate of Binghamton University graduates in the local area. The name CIC 2020 corresponds to the vision of retaining 20% of graduating seniors by the year 2020.
        Since its founding in 2004, CIC 2020 has worked to facilitate and strengthen connections between the local community and the University, establishing numerous ties within both entities that are fostered by regular participation in various meetings and events.  Beginning in the spring of 2006, a significant focus of the directorate has been administering the CIC Leadership Institute, a program created with all of the founding goals in mind.
        CIC 2020 recruits students for the CIC-LI in the fall semester and typically selects new directorate members from this pool of students in the spring.  Undergraduate and graduate students of all disciplines are eligible to apply. 

WHAT IS CIC 2020'S MISSION?
  1. Bridge the gap between the local community and Binghamton University.
  2. Familiarize students with opportunities in the Greater Binghamton area.
  3. Assess and develop ways to expand career opportunities and to encourage young professionals to stay.
  4. Provide a forum for discussion about economic progress.
  5. Enhance community and university partnerships to provide service-learning experiences.
