Megan Stubbendeck '05
Megan Stubbendeck’s eyes are set firmly on the future – but her heart is rooted in the past. Stubbendeck’s goal is to earn her PhD and become a historian/scholar, specializing in family structures on plantations in the antebellum South.
As a student of outstanding academic achievement, Megan had her choice of select universities: Georgetown, Columbia and more. Binghamton University was the only SUNY school she applied to. But Binghamton had something special to offer that the other schools did not, a program open only to the most promising and talented applicants. The Binghamton Scholars program is an all-University, four-year honors program for students of exceptional talent, with tuition support and academic opportunities not available to most undergraduates.
“It was without a doubt what brought me to Binghamton,” Megan said.
