Stony Brook University Graduate School

Annual Report 2025-26

 

"

Looking back on last year, I am extremely proud of the work my team has done to move the Graduate School forward and provide a comprehensive array of events, services, and resources for the graduate community. One of the major accomplishments from this past year was publishing our 2024-2029 Strategic Plan and setting the vision for our office over the next five years. Each initiative focuses on a specific area of graduate education at Stony Brook University, but they come together to achieve one central goal:
Create a supportive environment for students, postdocs, faculty, and staff to thrive.
