Binghamton Prospect History

The Binghamton Prospect Magazine started from the ground up, the magazine soon gained a budget and financing from the Binghamton Student Association and began quickly publishing articles that started off in black and white.

In the fall of 2005, spring 06 and spring of 2007, Binghamton Prospect Magazine was led by Editor-in-Chief JR Mabutas who guided the magazine to more frequent publications. Also of notable mention was Jeffrey Zhao and Beatrice Leong who served as the magazine's treasurers and staff writers in the fall of 2005, spring 2006

When the executive board of mostly undergraduate students graduated from Binghamton University, the magazine's publication was forced to regroup. In the Spring of 2007, The Binghamton Prospect Magazine came back better than ever. Through the leadership of a new executive board, who were committed students to the magazine, publication started expanding the magazine at a rapid pace.

In the Spring of 2007, Binghamton Prospect Magazine published 4 issue, each with a color cover that had photographs of student and campus events. The magazine's development soon came to take on much more than politics as campus events were followed and covered by the magazine. Readership, staff writers, advertisements and membership to the magazine grew as students became excited every time the magazine came out to be published. Since then the magazine has developed into a social organization where members get together on a
regular basis and write for the magazine.<ref>http://sa.binghamton.edu/~prospect/</ref>
