Travel Reimbursement Policy

We will reimburse up to $500 of Assistant Director candidate’s and $350 of Resident Director candidate’s travel expenses if we offer you a position and you accept; or if we do not offer you a position. If we offer you a position and you do not accept, or if you withdraw from our process, we do not reimburse for travel.

Buses: Binghamton is serviced by both Grey Hound and Shortline buses.

Planes: Our preference is that candidates use the Binghamton Regional airport (code BGM) which is 15-20 minutes from campus. Syracuse, NY (code SYR) also has an airport approximately 1 1/4 hours from campus.

Our staff will be meeting you/dropping you off at the airport and we want everyone to be at their best during the interview. Please keep this in mind when making your flight arrangements and avoid early morning/late night flights.
