Colleagues in Community

Mission Statement

Our mission is to create community through collaboration, compassion, and collective impact — uniting colleagues to engage, serve, and inspire meaningful connections across campus and beyond.

Events and Membership

New members of our campus community are welcome! Enjoy these relaxing, entertaining and safe spaces. Share, learn and have fun through meaningful conversations and connections.

Here are examples of our engagement on Stony Brook East or West campus and Stony Brook Southampton:

• Create a peer support circle to discuss challenges, celebrate wins, and offer emotional support.
• Attend sporting events to cheer on our Seawolves.
• Enjoy an event at the Staller Center.
• Attend a night of music in Southampton.
• Learn from informal meetups or coffee chats where people will share tips on connecting to resources in our local community.
