Why I Give
Dr. Thomas Lee

—Dr. Thomas K. Lee, Chief, Division of Pediatric Surgery, Associate Professor of Surgery and Pediatrics

Jeffrey Barnett

Jarvis Watson

"As an alumnus of the University and an employee of EOP, I know how important it is to support the program that has proven to be such a rich resource for so many leaders in education, law, politics, medicine, and other professions."

Stony Brook Family."

tom cassidy "Back in 1970s when I was a college student, New York State provided financial support for almost every student that attended Stony Brook University. Many students of my era were able to pay their own way for a Stony Brook education with summer and part-time jobs without taking any student loans. Unfortunately, students today can’t count on government support for their educational expenses. So let’s all help some of the greatest minds in college achieve their dreams by making a donation to Stony Brook University!"

—Thomas M. Cassidy, Clinical Associate Professor, School of Social Welfare
