On January 1st, Harvey G. Stenger Jr., Cornell ’77, became the 7th President of Binghamton University in Binghamton, New York. Stenger leaves his position as the interim provost and executive vice president for academic affairs at the University at Buffalo. He had been in that position since April 2011.

A native of Auburn, New York, Stenger arrived at the University at Buffalo in 2006 as dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. He is a chemical engineer by training, earned his bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from Cornell University in 1979 and his doctorate in the same discipline from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1983.

Prior to joining the administration at UB, Stenger was a professor at Lehigh University’s College of Engineering and Applied Science, where he also served as dean for six years and served terms as cochair of the Department of Chemical Engineering and director of the Environmental Studies Center. While dean, the college launched an award-winning Integrated Product Development program, expanded cooperative education programs, and received the largest gift ever made to Lehigh—$25 million—from P. C. Rossin to establish an endowment and name the P. C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science.

Stenger has been honored as a distinguished alumnus of Cornell University; has received multiple awards at Lehigh for student advising, excellence in teaching and unusual promise of professional achievement; and been recognized in Buffalo and from professional associations for his teaching, mentorship, and public and professional service.
