“We have the talent; we have the knowledge; we have the history; and now, with this flagship designation, we have the reach. But most importantly, we have the imperative. The world needs #StonyBrookUniversity. #StonyBrook is the university that first dated the moon rocks. The university that invented MRI technology. That broke new ground in quantum communication. That contributed art foundational to the 20 th and 21st centuries. That is imagining a future of #STEM in which diverse perspectives form the foundation of our excellence. That works across disciplines to build a vibrant future for its entire community. That continues, every day, to redefine itself with innovation, knowledge, justice, and equity at the core of its mission. This is the state of Stony Brook University: ambitious, and ready to fight for the Future.” -a snippet of sbuprez’s 2022 State of the University address today. #IMaSeawolf 📸 Conor Harrigan
