Support Meaningful Storytelling and Public Discourse

Meaningful change begins with a story. At Stony Brook’s School of Communication and Journalism, students are exploring urgent social issues, asking hard questions and learning how communication can tear down walls and bring people together. Your Giving Day gift will help them get the hands-on experiences, research opportunities and professional preparation they need to become the next generation of impactful storytellers. Support the voices that will inform, engage and shape a better future.

We know that opportunity changes lives. That’s why the School of Communication and Journalism is committed to opening doors for the next generation of journalists, media makers, and communication professionals.

Thanks to the support we receive from generous Giving Day donors, we are able to expand opportunities and enhance the student experience for hundreds of our majors. With help from donors like you, we created more welcoming, student-centered spaces, including the new Student Services Suite on the fourth floor of the library. We added a striking photo mural to our bustling newsroom, honoring our alumni and celebrating their impact at news organizations and institutions across the nation and beyond. We are also adding a multimedia hub right in the heart of campus, where our students will collaborate in innovative ways, creating news and entertainment content for the entire Seawolf community.

This Giving Day, your gift to the Dean’s Excellence Fund will directly support students as they prepare to launch their careers. Your donation will help us create hands-on professional opportunities, fund travel for research and reporting and enable students to pursue important stories that might otherwise go untold. No matter the size, your contribution will help us to enrich the student experience.

Our students are doing powerful, inspiring work, and they deserve champions. We invite you to explore their stories, projects and achievements, and to be part of the impact they are making. Together, we can expand opportunities, elevate student voices and invest in the future of journalism and communication. We truly appreciate your support!
