Editorial: Ithaca College’s proposed school merger must consider alumni
Editor’s Note: The opinions presented in this editorial do not necessarily reflect the views of every editorial board member. Ithaca College’s proposed school merger could affect more than current students, faculty and staff. The college should consider whether consolidating schools truly makes administrative sense, but should also consider how the proposal could affect the reputations and identities of its five schools, and therefore how it could impact its relationship with alumni.

Binghamton University students turn EMT frustration into a new company
EMS personnel across the country may soon have significantly more time to respond to critical emergencies thanks to new technology pioneered by two Binghamton University students. While the COVID-19 pandemic was spent sheltering indoors away from others, it helped spur a passion in emergency services for Binghamton University seniors Joshua Ackerman and Yoav Reshef. Now years removed from the high school days that marked the start of their foray into becoming EMTs, the two are working to make life easier for emergency service workers. Thanks to technology developed by the students’ company, Lucent EMS Solutions, EMTs could save precious time formerly spent filing paperwork, allowing for more efficient processes and ultimately, more time helping those in need. In October, Lucent won second place at Empire State Development and FuzeHub's invention competition, winning $110,000. Binghamton University students develop time-saving technology for EMTs Originally started in February 2026, Lucent has had an objectively successful year, as far as new companies go. Before taking home second place in the invention competition, Lucent won the grand prize at the NY Business Plan Competition in April — resulting in a critical $25,000 check that has helped the company grow in the following months.
