#263: LIVESTRONG Grant Awarded!

Stony Brook University and a group of students have worked tirelessly over the past few months to successfully secure TWO grants from the Livestrong Foundation. A $10,000 grant will be used to bring Camp Kesem to Stony Brook as a support for children with family members diagnosed with cancer! A $15,000 grant will be used to bring the Creative Center Artist in Residence Program to the Cancer Center!

Stony Brook students Tobin, Jamie, Maggie and Arjun promoted the cause at various meetings, events and venues, educating the campus community about what these two grants would do. Stony Brook University will now work with Livestrong to support the local community and help families fighting cancer.

#259: You Look Lost

The Spring semester can be an interesting time for students that are new to the University, especially transfer students. Routines and friend groups have been established, so new transfer students need some extra time to get acclimated to a new environment. Anthony N. helped a student with that transition when he helped a new student find their classroom. Anthony had a great time doing it too, so be sure to help out the next person you see who is lost!

#258: Stacey Olster

Antionette A. and many other students from EGL 226 think Professor Stacey Olster is an all star faculty member at Stony Brook. EGL 226 opens students eyes to 20th century American literature, and Antionette thinks she is completely radical!

#257: Stony Brook Runs on Zamir

#256: Morning Rainbow

This beautiful rainbow was hovering over campus Thursday morning as everyone was heading to work and class. It provided for a nice smile after a stormy night!

#255: Walk-In Advising

The Spring 2013 Semester is in full gear, with new classes and instructors as part of a whole new year! While it is all incredibly exciting, it can create some stress or confusion for students who have concerns with their class schedule or degree progress. Luckily, the Academic and Transfer Advising Services office has walk-in advising, all day, for the first two weeks of class! Students are able to drop by the office any time from 9am – 4pm with their questions and meet with an advisor one-on-one, no appointment necessary. Visit room E-2360 in the Melville Library for that extra help.
