It’s Important

SB Day AlbanyThis is your opportunity to talk to the people whose decisions affect our lives.

  • Stony Brook depends on the legislature for a considerable part of its funding.
  • In times of ever-tightening financial constraints, a large turnout shows our State representatives how much their support means to us.
  • Legislators want to know what you think and how you feel.


“Stony Brook Day in Albany has evolved into one of our University’s most rewarding new traditions. When we fill the corridors of the State Capitol wearing our Stony Brook buttons and brimming with Stony Brook pride, it makes an impression that lasts throughout the year.”
— Shirley Strum Kenny, President

“Your legislators have as much reason to see you as you have to see them!"
— John Schmidt, West Campus UUP Chapter President

“Individuals, staff, and students alike, came away from the experience with a sense that they had learned something about Stony Brook, about themselves, and about the legislative process. It was an extremely positive experience for both myself and my students.”
— Joan F. Kuchner, Social and Behavioral Sciences
