    “You have the power to make the change you want to see in the world. If you want to see change on campus, speak up. If you have a leadership role on campus leverage it and if don’t, reach out to relevant departments and clubs.” Alyssa DiBenedetto is right. Seawolves have the power to make change and they showed that today during the annual “Take a Stand/Walk with Me Against Domestic Violence” march hosted by @CPO_SBU. By attending events like this or going through bystander intervention training - Seawolves are standing up against #DomesticViolence and showing once more they care. If you or anyone you know is suffering from intimate partner violence, reach out to the Center for Prevention and Outreach or the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233.
    “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.

    “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.
