President Maurie McInnis offered her congratulations and presented the awards to the winners at a luncheon on November 2 at the Bauman Center for Leadership and Service.

“At its core, Stony Brook is defined by its people — the individuals who every day push this university to be all it can be; the individuals who every day help this university nurture creativity, research excellence, connection, inclusivity, and scholarly curiosity,” McInnis said. “A university is no more and no less than the people who comprise it, and looking around today, at the recipients of the 2022 Chancellor’s Awards, it’s clear that this speaks volumes to the successes of Stony Brook and the value of its mission.”
