Faculty and staff have a new resource for getting connected to the campus and the community — Brookology is a curated website of Long Island featuring leisure-time activities, special shopping deals, information on social groups and a digital bulletin board.

Whether you’re looking for a pick-up volleyball game, find your perfect beach, want to sell a car or search for shopping discounts, Brookology offers the Stony Brook campus community options for fun, social and engaging activities.

Yammer, found on Brookology, is a social interaction platform for SBU employees and students.

Brookology was developed in response to the campus plan for Equity, Inclusion and Diversity. Recognizing that there were few ways for employees to find others on campus with similar interests, the Community Working Group for the Diversity Plan outlined points of interest to increase opportunities for social interaction.

“With Brookology, employees can find new ways of being connected. It’s an opportunity to join a conversation, or start a new one,” says Judy Greiman, chief deputy to the President and senior vice president for government and community relations, who oversees the implementation of the Stony Brook University Plan for Equity, Inclusion and Diversity.

As an online resource, Brookology is organized into six tabs: GET CONNECTED, EVENTS, ON CAMPUS, IN THE COMMUNITY, STEALS & DEALS, and NEW EMPLOYEES. Visit stonybrook.edu/brookology to learn more.
