Elevating Stony Brook’s Trajectory of Teaching and Research Excellence
May 15, 2025
Dear Stony Brook Campus Community,
As a flagship research university, Stony Brook has an obligation to be far-sighted and ambitious. This means not just embracing discovery and innovation, but being at the forefront of it. It means seeking truth and igniting possibilities across boundaries and disciplines. Since arriving at Stony Brook last August, I have spoken often — and with great pride — about Stony Brook’s teaching, research and clinical excellence across our East, West and Southampton campuses. But we must not slow down or rest on our laurels.
