With her puffy hair, white outfits, and her peppy voice, when you watch the Progressive Commerical, you can’t help but think about Flo. Fun fact about the Flo we all know and love? She graduated Binghamton University in 1992! Here are some fun facts about Flo, aka Stephanie Courtney, aka a cool alum of Binghamton!
