Stony Brook Meteorology Club 

SBUweatherThe Stony Brook Meteorology Club provides an environment in which Atmospheric Science majors and other students interested in weather can come together as a community.  We take trips to weather conferences, TV broadcast stations, and the National Weather Service, which offer our club members exceptional opportunities for education, networking, future research, and internships. At the conferences, club members present their own research to build upon existing knowledge in the meteorological community. We also bring our knowledge to the Stony Brook community by providing student-made forecasts and useful weather facts to the public on social media.

The club meets once a week during the school year. If you are interested in joining us at a meeting, please let us know at sbuweather@gmail.com.  Additional information is also available on SB Engaged and on the SBUWeather Facebook page.

 

Stony Brook Sierra Club 

The Stony Brook University Sierra Club is an opportunity for students to explore, enjoy, and protect the wild places on our planet. We do this by teaching skills and providing experiences for our members that allow them to experience these wild places in a manner consistent with their preservation and conservation. To explore our wild spaces, we offer trips and events to our membership that bring them into nature and bring nature to them through backpacking, rock climbing, nature education, and other exciting ways. By training our members with the skills necessary to partake in these activities on their own, we allow them to enjoy these wild places to their own satisfaction. And by fostering a community, we provide an outlet for our members to enjoy these places with individuals that truly share their passion. But above all else, we foster a deep believe in our members that these wild places need to be protected and, in doing so, we provide the opportunities to protect these places through activism and environmental stewardship.

If you are interested in joining us at a meeting, please let us know at sierraclubatstonybrook@gmail.com.  Additional information is also available on the Sierra Club Facebook page.

 

Stony Brook Belly Dance

Belly Dancing is one of the oldest dances to celebrate the female body. The Stony Brook Belly Dancers are a group of women from all around the world, joined together by the common love of dance. Our routines are made up of classic movements from the Middle Eastern countries where Belly Dancing originated but we also incorporate modern steps and beats. Belly Dancing is a unique way to tone and control the body while learning a “new” style of dance and having fun!

If you are interested in joining us at a meeting, please let us know at sbubellydancers@gmail.com.  Additional information is also available on SB Engaged, the Belly Dance Facebook page, and the Facebook Group.
