The Undergraduate College of Arts, Culture, and Humanities (ACH) brings together first-year students at Stony Brook University who share an interest in the wide scope of human activity, particularly artistic production of all sorts (music, literature, theatre, the visual arts, dance, etc). Because the ACH experience is not strictly academic in nature, involvement is based on an interest in these areas, rather than on one's choice of major. Throughout the academic year, the ACH team (consisting of a Faculty Director, Quad Director, and Undergraduate College Advisor) will plan events that highlight the college's themes and offer participants a chance to meet other students with similar interests, as well as network with faculty and staff. The college is housed in Tabler Quad and boasts a newly refurbished arts and cultural center including a cafe, performing arts space, practice rooms for musicians, a digital arts lab, and a broadcasting studio.
