Stony Brook University’s Homecoming and Reunion Weekend, also known as “Wolfstock,” is scheduled for Friday and Saturday, October 17–18, and will offer alumni, students, faculty, staff, and the local community an opportunity to reconnect with each other and celebrate an institution on the rise–nationally and internationally. The event is presented in part by the Stony Brook Alumni Association, in cooperation with University Advancement, Student Affairs, Athletics, and the Office of the President.
Many aspects of Homecoming are free of charge and all are open to the public. Only two activities require a registration fee: the Reunion Reception (Friday evening; details below) and the pre-game Tailgate Party (Saturday) with live music, beer garden, and an “all-you-can-eat” barbeque buffet from Famous Dave’s. Pre-registration discounts are available for the Tailgate Party, and each admission includes a ticket to the Seawolves football game that afternoon.
