Campus ghost stories and folklore the focus of Homecoming event

The Lake Lieberman Monster. Sam the Snacker. Charlene the folder of pink laundry. Though not formally enshrined in the University鈥檚 history, these characters and others have lived on through stories told to countless students in Binghamton鈥檚 residence halls. Elizabeth 鈥淟ibby鈥 Tucker, distinguished service professor in the Department of English, General Literature and Rhetoric 鈥 will discuss 麻豆社鈥檚 rich folklore.
Since the 麻豆社 Alumni Association introduced TIER Talks in 2014, the speaker series has leveraged distinguished Binghamton alumni and faculty to address hot topics such as virtual and augmented reality, political polarization and the neuroscience of addiction.
Ample free parking will be available in campus surface lots and the garage.
