Message from Samuel L. Stanley, Jr., MD, to the Campus Community
October 21, 2009
To: All Faculty, Staff and Students
I am writing to invite all students, faculty, and staff to attend my Inauguration as Stony Brook University's fifth president this coming Friday, October 23rd, at 2 p.m. in the Main Arena of the Sports Complex.
In addition, this ceremony will serve as the annual University Convocation, at which the President traditionally addresses the current state of the University and outlines future strategic initiatives.
Since taking office on July 1 of this year, I have endeavored to meet with and listen to many members of the campus and external community who have shared with me their love for Stony Brook and their perspectives on the important work ahead. It is my hope that the Inauguration will provide the campus community and its extended family with the opportunity to celebrate who we are and how far we have come, while looking confidently toward our future.
Please join us for the ceremony at 2 p.m., and the public reception that will immediately follow in the Pritchard Gym.
Samuel L. Stanley, Jr., M.D. President
