Stony Brook University welcomed the community to campus at CommUniversity Day on Saturday, September 22.

The free festival gave the audience of roughly 3,500 friends, employees, families and students a chance to explore many interactive, hands-on activities and captivating performances coordinated through more than 300 University volunteers.

Many different departments and groups from the campus were represented with nearly 110 tables showcasing health, safety, arts, traditions, food and technology. Visitors tried their hand at the giant Pac-Mac Maze, dug for ‘fossils’ in the Kenya Dig-It, and learned the impact of how water moves through land at the river stream table.

“Stony Brook University has so much to offer. CommUniversity Day was a great way for our neighbors to experience the many points of pride from our campus community,” said President Samuel L. Stanley. “We want our neighbors to know that they are welcome here.”

CommUniversity Day was created and directed by the Office of Community Relations. The event was supported by a dozen team leaders and hundreds of volunteers, and funded through the Stony Brook University Plan for Equity, Inclusion and Diversity.
