Stony Brook University recently celebrated its global impact at the "Unstoppable Momentum" event held on October 25. The gathering highlighted stories of the university's efforts to shape a better future for students, the community, and the planet.
Interim President Richard McCormick remarked, "Stony Brook exemplifies all the best characteristics of American higher education. We have a growing and diverse student body. We have a robust research enterprise that has made Stony Brook a leader in promoting healthy aging, addressing the global challenge of climate change, and many more areas of knowledge upon which the future of humankind depends. And, not least, we advance the economic prosperity of Long Island, New York, and the nation."
The event took place at the Charles B. Wang Center and included TED-style talks that showcased how Stony Brook is advancing bold ideas and solutions while inspiring new knowledge and human spirit.
