Welcome to Stony Brook Southampton

wendy pearson I am delighted to welcome you to Stony Brook Southampton, a vibrant and distinctive part of Stony Brook University. Located on the East End of Long Island, our campus sits at the gateway to some of the region’s most treasured coastal and cultural resources. This unique setting gives us the opportunity—and the responsibility—to serve as a hub for education, research, and community engagement that reflects the character and needs of our surroundings.

Here, students, faculty, staff, and community members come together to explore ideas, solve pressing challenges, and create opportunities that extend far beyond our shoreline. From academic programs in the health professions, creative writing, world-class marine sciences, and sustainability, to dynamic arts and cultural offerings at the Avram Theater and FoodLab, Southampton reflects both the spirit of discovery and the power of collaboration.

As the only four-year institution on the East End, we are deeply committed to supporting this community—advancing healthcare, expanding workforce and economic opportunities, promoting sustainability, and enriching the cultural life of the region. With continued investment in our facilities, programs, and partnerships, our vision is clear: to build a campus that not only meets the needs of today but also shapes the future of Long Island and beyond.

I invite you to explore, connect, and take part in all that Stony Brook Southampton has to offer.

Sincerely,

Wendy Pearson
Vice Presiden for Strategic Initiatives and Executive Director of Stony Brook Southampton
Stony Brook University
