    “Standing on the shoulders of giants” - Cheryl Chambers, Associate Dean of Students/Director of Multicultural Affairs. Each speaker during Saturday’s UNITI Cultural Center ribbon cutting ceremony highlighted the people before them who’ve helped make a difference in their lives and the generations of Seawolves after them. Through the hard work and dedication @stonybrookalum’s Black and Latino Network, elected officials @cheastie, @kimjeanpierre, Sarah Clark, Latoya Joyner, Steve Englebright, and #SBU administration, we were finally able to celebrate the opening of the newly renovated UCC. A safe place for students to be themselves and feel at home. If you haven’t had a chance to visit the UNITI Cultural Center yet, check out our reel from Saturday.
    “Stony Brook was founded to help address the needs of the state and the nation in that tumultuous and expansive decade of the 1960s. And now we must continue to be a catalyst for change. As a public institution, we are united in the common goal of making this a better world. That is my goal, and my honor as the President of one of the most innovative public research universities in the world: to ensure that Stony Brook University is leading the way…serving our community, and tackling the global challenges that face us in the coming century. This is the work that we’ll set out to do, together, in the next decade. And, I  look forward to seeing all we can achieve. The moment is upon us, Seawolves. Let’s answer the call to greatness.” - excerpted from @sbuprez’ Inauguration Speech this Saturday. It was an honor and a privilege to finally celebrate our sixth president, Dr. Maurie McInnis, and officially welcome her to #SBU.
