WiFi at NYAC 2014

We all likely have some kind of device that would require us to login to the wifi during NYAC 2014!

"Connect2BU is the wireless network for Binghamton University guests and is the point of entry for Binghamton University students, faculty and staff connecting a device to the busecure wireless network for the first time.

Connect2BU is an unencrypted wireless network and is limited in scope, duration and capacity. Any device with Wi-Fi enabled will automatically detect Connect2BU.

If you are a guest choose Connect2BU in the list of available wireless networks, connect to it, open a browser and click Continue. You are now connected."

More information can be found here. 

If you want to use a library computer, inquire about a guest login in the library.

Detour on Binghamton Campus

We received notification that, due to paving, a detour will direct NYAC attendees to follow the West Access Road to Rafuse Hall when you arrive at Binghamton University.  You should be directed to bear right at the traffic circle and take the West Drive.  Note the new parking lot information:  Lot T1 probably will not be open so everyone should park in Lot P, O3 or O4.

Eating while at NYAC

IF you are coming to #NYAC2014, remember that lunch and dinner are on your own on Wednesday June 4th, and Thursday June 5th.
