CONNECTING WITH THE CAMPUS

As we build on the success and momentum we’ve established over the past few years at SBU, we invite you to continue to BE Connected here. With each other. With our university and all it stands for. With your loftiest goals and ambitions. We’ll always be Stronger Together. And, together, we can all be part of something bigger than ourselves as we build our even brighter future.
