State University of New York Chancellor Nancy Zimpher has announced that she has recommended Interim President C. Peter Magrath be named president of Binghamton University for a term that will run through December 31, 2011.
The appointment will go before the SUNY Board of Trustees for confirmation at a special meeting in April.
