A Bold Agenda for the 21st Century

"Investment in Stony Brook is investment in the highest level of academic and research potential; it is the pride and deep understanding of how really remarkable this institution is that will guide and inspire us as we engage our agenda for the 21st century." — President Shirley Strum Kenny

By every measure of success — student achievements, faculty scholarship and teaching honors, pioneering scientific and medical research, quality health care, community service — Stony Brook has attained national recognition and is at the forefront of exciting change.

You can help to push this remarkable progress to new levels. Gifts from our friends, partners, and alumni are the linchpin of Stony Brook's ascent to leadership — because, even among the nation's great public universities, private philanthropy is the engine of excellence.

For 50 years, we have set impossible goals ... and met them. We invite you to join us in making our next half-century as exciting as our first.
