Led by Josh Kay and Kathryn Fletcher (CIC-LI Teaching Assistants and CIC2020 Directors) and Dr. Diane Crews (CIC-LI Professor and CIC2020 Faculty Adviser), the students in the 2008 CIC Leadership Institute presented The Confluence Project which focused on how downtown can act as a cultural, intellectual and commercial hub. Many projects were inspired by Binghamton University’s Downtown Center opening in Fall 2007.
