Justin Fincher on the Evertrue RAISE-Podcast
Although my career has spanned both the K-12 and higher education sectors, the common thread has been a focus on equipping students from low-income backgrounds with opportunities to advance into higher income brackets. Stony Brook has a national reputation for both enrolling and graduating students from under-resourced communities, and this was validated by a Stanford study ranking the institution #1 for social mobility among all highly selective universities nationally. Whether it's raising funds for scholarships, fellowships or endowed professorships, I know that our efforts are helping thousands of students achieve the American dream.

Why We Love Living Here
Long Island offers some of New York State's richest farmland and fishing grounds, the spectacular Atlantic beaches at Fire Island and the Hamptons, the craggy bluffs and natural harbors along Long Island Sound, and the picturesque villages of the North Shore towns. All, just about 35 miles from New York City.
