IMPACT INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS at Stony Brook plays a vital role as the University continues to make a positive impact on people’s lives in our region, our state, our country and the world. Stony Brook Athletics supports the fundamental belief that students possess the ability to change the world, and that it is our responsibility to partner with campus leadership and faculty to support our studentathletes in pursuit of their dreams. The power of intercollegiate athletics is significant in that its reach extends deep within the hearts and minds of those who are connected to Stony Brook. It also provides a unique pathway for the University to spread its message to a much broader audience. Athletics is the most visible marketing arm of Stony Brook, and it has the power to bring the community together in ways that are unmatched by other programs.
GROWTH ATHLETICS OFFERS A CHANCE for individuals to be part of something greater than themselves. Studentathletes come to our campus from all over the world in search of an opportunity to learn and grow both individually and collectively. They represent different ethnicities and socioeconomic backgrounds. While each student-athlete has a unique set of gifts, Stony Brook provides an innovative environment in which those gifts can be nurtured in a meaningful way. Since making its transition to Division I in the 1999–2000 academic year, Stony Brook Athletics has grown in size and scope while providing a tangible source of pride for the students, alumni and campus community. While the program has enjoyed varying degrees of competitive success in that time, it is imperative that Athletics features a viable business model that positions the program for an even higher level of sustainable success.
