Campus Champion

Ardesian (Ardi) Binjakaj arrived in the U.S. four years ago. Ardi, who speaks five languages, spent his first 10 years in Italy before moving to Albania, his parents’ home country. He’ll graduate in the spring with a double major in business economics and political science and double minors in computer applications and international finance. He hopes to pursue his dreams in the U.S. He’s a research assistant for a Harvard professor and interning with economics professor Kathleen Burke, mapping how funds are managed across the SUNY system. Exceptionally connected and engaged, Ardi is most proud of time spent as an EOP peer mentor and tutor, helping others navigate life on campus.
