About

Back the Brook is here!

This new campaign brings Seawolves together to support each other and strengthen student life. With more than 500 student organizations and clubs at Stony Brook, there are countless ways students make campus vibrant. Many groups have goals that go beyond what they can fund on their own. Your support helps peers travel, compete, host events, and create new opportunities.

Every gift matters. By backing your peers, you help build a stronger community and enhance the student experience for everyone.

Join us in person to celebrate this important initiative!
Wednesday, November 19 • 12–2 PM • SAC Shore Club

Make your gift today and rally around your fellow Seawolves!
