Mentor a student, share your experiences with current or prospective students, speak to a class, attend an event or get involved in a committee or chapter.
There are countless ways to contribute, no matter where you live. By volunteering your time, you provide invaluable support to the Stony Brook community and help guide both current and future Seawolves on their journeys.

Stony Brook Alumni Career Services
Stony Brook Alumni Career Services offers a variety of ways for alumni to assist current and future Seawolves, including becoming a one-time or long-term mentor, hiring interns, hosting company tours, supporting the internship fund and participating in virtual or in-person career education programming.
To build on these opportunities, Stony Brook Mentor Connect provides a dedicated social platform that connects Stony Brook students and alumni — both recent and experienced. This network offers a unique space for alumni to share guidance, support and insights as students and recent grads navigate their career journeys.
Alumni Admissions Ambassadors
Recruiting the Next Generation of Seawolves
Your Alumni Association and Stony Brook students need your energy and ideas! Join
the growing network of alumni volunteers and help promote the mission of the University
— all while having fun!
There are a variety of ways, both direct and indirect, that you can represent Stony
Brook University in your home state or on campus. Depending on your availability and
level of interest in volunteering your time, you can choose from one or more of our
suggested activities:
- Admitted student receptions
- Join a counselor to represent Stony Brook at a college fair in your area
- On-campus events, including Admitted Seawolf Day(s) and Orientation
- Letter writing
- Alumni quotes
Before we send you to an event or have you interact with prospective students and families on your own, you will meet with an admissions contact. Alumni play such a vital role for any college or university and we look forward to having you share your experiences with future Seawolves!
Alumni Groups
Whether you were on a team, in a sorority or fraternity, lived on campus or have moved overseas, chances are we can help you reconnect, network and stay in touch with your Stony Brook friends.
Scan through the list of existing chapters and clubs and if you don’t find what you’re looking for, the Alumni Relations staff will help you get one started!
Alumni Committees
Find out firsthand just how rewarding it can be to serve as a volunteer on an Alumni Association committee. Your experience with the Alumni Association, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, helps bring together our Seawolves community and lets you hone skills transferable to your profession and volunteer opportunities elsewhere.
Remote Opportunities
Don't live near campus? No problem. Many of our volunteers live across the country and around the world. Unless otherwise noted, committee membership is open to all alumni, as well as interested University faculty, staff, and students, pending approval by the Alumni Association President.
