Their projects focus on early detection of aquatic invasive plants, forest health monitoring and testing native water lilies to protect local freshwater habitats.

The funding supports hands-on research for both graduate and undergraduate students, including a project conducted in collaboration with the Shinnecock Nation.

Exciting campus developments are officially in motion at Stony Brook!

A new residence hall is under construction in the Tabler community, bringing 310 new beds, air-conditioned suite-style units with private kitchens and bathrooms and expanded common areas for students to connect and study.

Across campus, progress is being made for a modern facility to replace Harriman Hall, providing the College of Business with active-learning classrooms and enhanced career services spaces.
