Department of Student Community Development

Non-Traditional Student Awards

The goal of the Non-Traditional Student/Adult Learner Awards is to recognize the contributions of our undergraduate students ages 24+. These awards serve as an opportunity to acknowledge the positive impact this particular demographic makes within their academic departments, the Stony Brook community, and/or their local/global communities, all while balancing the responsibilities they may have outside of the classroom.

Requirements:
Matriculated undergraduates working towards a bachelors degree
24+ years of age or older
