WELCOME
Dear Seawolves and Seawolf Families,
Welcome to Stony Brook University! You are now part of a vibrant and diverse campus community with
many opportunities to get involved and resources available to help our students successfully transition
to this new chapter in their life.
If you are joining us as a first year student, the Undergraduate Colleges (UGCs) will play an important role in
your new student experience. They are small communities that group students with common interests, help
ease the transition to college, and create a sense of belonging by providing customized advising and support.
If you are joining us as a new transfer student, we have an array of services available to support your transition
and success at Stony Brook, including general and major academic advising, tutoring, and a specialized
transfer course called ADV 101.
In support of all students, we offer many opportunities to engage in campus life, build friendships with fellow Seawolves, and
strengthen leadership skills. We strongly encourage students to get involved during their first semester in one or more of our
350 student clubs and organizations, cultural groups, and intramural sports teams. Students should download the CORQ app and
check stonybrook.edu/sbengaged for real time information about campus programs and events.
We also provide comprehensive resources to enhance students’ academic, career, and personal growth and development.
Please visit stonybrook.edu/studentaffairs and stonybrook.edu/studentsuccess to learn more about all the resources available,
both as new students and family members. All of our academic and student services departments are here to help our students be
successful. Reach out to us when you have a question or concern. We’re here for you!
Congratulations on reaching this exciting milestone. I look forward to seeing you in the fall. Go Seawolves!
Sincerely,
Rick Gatteau, PhD
Vice President for Student Affairs

Campus Landmark: Boulders are scattered about the Stony Brook campus, several hundred being 20,000 year-old leftovers from
the Ice Age glaciers that once blanketed Long Island. During the extensive excavations that accompanied the initial construction of
buildings and roadways on campus, these boulders were unearthed and incorporated into the landscape. Today, many of these ancient
rocks serve as brightly painted totems for fraternities, sororities, and other campus organizations.

Red Hot Tradition: Between 1:00-2:20 pm every Wednesday during the academic year, few classes are scheduled, giving
students a chance to come together for some of Stony Brook’s most exciting events. We call it Campus Lifetime, a weekly tradition
dating back to 1991. Campus Lifetime features carnivals, concerts, student expo fairs, live entertainment, celebrity speakers, free
food and giveaways—plus a chance for informal face-to-face encounters in the midst of hectic academic schedules.

Campus Landmark: It’s a long way from Cretaceous-era Madagascar to present-day Long Island; 8,600 miles and 70 million years,
to be precise—but Manjungasaurus crenatissimus looks right at home in the lobby of our Administration Building. The exact replica of the
Cretaceous meat-eater is patched together from specimens unearthed on Madagascar by a team of Stony Brook University paleontologists,
led by Dr. David Krause of the Department of Anatomical Sciences. The fearsome skeleton has even acquired a nickname: “Stony Bones.”

Campus Landmark: Ashley Schiff Memorial Park Preserve. Dr. Ashley Schiff was a dedicated and popular professor of Political
Science and avowed naturalist in the early days of Stony Brook University. In 1970, a 26-acre woodland, lined with oak and maple trees,
often walked by Professor Schiff and his students, was set aside to honor him. Fauna spotted in the area include garter snakes, Virginia
opossums, rabbits, chipmunks and box turtles. The preserve is located between Roth Quad and the Marine Science Research Center.

Campus Landmark: The Zebra Path is a striped geometric walkway connecting the Academic Mall with northern sections of campus
beyond John S. Toll Drive. The eye-catching path lies in front of the Career Center and behind the Melville Library. In March 1981, as part
of an advanced seminar in public art, Stony Brook student Kim Hardiman won a grant to beautify the campus. Her 232’ x 12’ handpainted
walkway, regularly refurbished with new coats of paint, constitutes one student’s lasting tribute to the Stony Brook campus.
