Welcome to Stony Brook University and the Undergraduate College of Human Development (HDV)! As a member of the HDV community, you will be exposed to the perspectives on humanness of a variety of disciplines. The College is home to all those with interests in human health development, origins, and history in all its richness. Health professionals, biological scientists, psychologists, anthropologists, social scientists, physical scientists, engineers, and humanists with an interest in authentic understanding of the human condition all find homes here and all contribute to the rich mix of insights and perspectives that is the human world.
The HDV team—Faculty Director Deborah Firestone, Quad Director Amjad Abdo, and College Advisors Joseph Robinson and Erika Benhardt—are here to guide you through your first-year experience. Throughout the academic year, the HDV team and student leaders will plan events in Kelly Quad and on the main campus that highlight College themes. These programs will be opportunities for you to meet students, faculty, and staff with similar interests.
