    “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. Read the full write-up on #SBUNews (posted in the Inauguration highlight).
    “Stony Brook was created to provide access to an excellent education not just a select few but to a growing and diverse population. This was the premise upon which Stony Brook University was founded, and it’s a mission I will be proud to uphold as President.” - @SBUPrez • • • Today’s symposium - Tackling Inequality in Higher Education: Past & Present - brought forward thoughts, ideas and even suggestions on what we can do as a community to work towards a more equitable #HigherEd experience for all. If you missed it, keep an eye out for the #SBUNews story coming soon!
    “…many topics in today’s headlines - sexual violence, racialized police brutality, mass incarceration, racial injustice, and political polarization - all have deep historical roots...” -@SBUPrez • • • Missed this afternoon’s University Senate Inaugural #Lecture: “The Shadow of Slavery in American Public Life”? Stay tuned this week for a write-up on #SBUNews.
    “There’s some things that you do because they’re interesting; there are some things that you do because it’s something you value. It’s profoundly meaningful to have @sbuprez and for it to be the core values of who she is and how she’s leading this university.” -Judi Brown Clarke, referencing President McInnis’ work as a renowned scholar in the cultural history of American art and the colonial and antebellum South. (Her work is focused on the relationship between art and politics in early America - particularly on the politics of slavery.)
