Dear Friends and Colleagues,

I am pleased to take this opportunity to offer my congratulations and to extend

to you our sincere appreciation for the outstanding service you have rendered

on behalf of Stony Brook University. Your hard work and dedication have

played a major role in positioning this institution among the elite of the world’s

universities, and we are extremely grateful for your commitment to our campus

community. Whether saving lives in our Hospital, making discoveries that change

the world, enhancing the academic or extracurricular lives of our students,

or ensuring the safety and beauty of our working and learning environments, you all have made

important contributions toward the unparalleled achievements of this world-renowned institution.

Stony Brook has accomplished so much in a relatively short period of time, and we recognize

that your individual and collective efforts have been essential to our extraordinary growth and ongoing

success. I applaud your accomplishments and thank you sincerely for all that you have done and

continue to do for our great University. I personally look forward to your continued service and support

as we work together to advance the mission and vision of this great institution.

Sincerely,

Samuel L. Stanley Jr., MD

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Forty-five-year honorees, you were there when...

...Leah Holland, the first woman on the swim team, won a medal in a Metropolitan Intercollegiate Championship in 1972.

...in 1969 the University hosted the eighth International Congress of Crystallography, one of the most prestigious scientific gatherings ever held on campus.

...about 500 students demonstrated outside the Melville Library for 18 hours to protest the arrest of a former student in 1969. The campus chapter of Students for a Democratic Society presented President John S. Toll with demands related to military recruitment on campus and war-related research. After students ignored requests to vacate the building, the Suffolk County Police Department was called in.

Fifty-year honorees, you were there when...

...the men’s basketball team (above) and the crew team were the first to obtain varsity ranking. Around the same time, the cheerleading squad was the first intramural group to win an award sponsored by a non-university organization.

...John S. Toll was inaugurated as Stony Brook’s second president in 1965. He served for 13 years in that role.

...renowned biologist H. Bentley Glass was a member of the faculty and Stony Brook’s first distinguished professor of biology.

...construction of a bridge to connect the Student Union and Melville Library began in 1967. For 10 years the bridge went unfinished, earning the nick-name “Bridge to Nowhere.” Some said the delay was due to budget constraints, but legend has it that contractors inverted the blueprint and built the bridge backward. Eventually it was completed and dedicated (left), but it was rarely used and was demolished in 2003.

50

...the Van de Graaff accelerator, a 57.5-ton atom smasher, arrived in 1967. It was the first of its kind at any university in the world.

45

...the Stony Brook Union, which began construction in the early 1960s, was opened to students in 1969. It was the center of social activity on campus until the Student Activities Center opened in 1997.

Thirty-five-year honorees, you were there when...

...the women’s volleyball team captured the New York State Division III Championship, the first women’s state title for Stony Brook.

...the End of the Bridge operated as a restaurant and nightclub in the former Buffeteria in the Stony Brook Union.

...the Hospital opened in 1980 with 30 beds and an ambulatory care pavilion. It was the first major teaching hospital established in the United States since 1977 and the first in the SUNY system.

Forty-year honorees, you were there when...

...David Crosby and many well-known contemporary musicians performed on campus. Performers in the 1970s included the Beach Boys, Steve Miller, Bonnie Raitt, Frank Zappa and New Riders of the Purple Sage.

...the Health Sciences Center was completed in 1976. Students in most of the schools of the HSC moved there from South Campus.

...Chemistry Professor Paul Lauterbur produced the first image of a living organism via nuclear magnetic resonance. Lauterbur received the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2003 for his part in developing MRI technology.

40

...phase 1 of the Fine Arts Center opened in 1975 with classrooms, rehearsal halls, studios and an art gallery. In 1979, an experimental theater, two black box theaters, a recital hall and a concert hall were added. It was renamed in 1988 for the University’s friend and longtime supporter Max Staller.

...the Marine Sciences Research Center was created as SUNY’s center for marine research, graduate education and public service. The 55-foot-long research vessel Onrust was acquired in 1975.

35

...the Zebra Path was designed and hand- painted by student Kim Hardiman as part of a public art seminar in 1981.

...New York Governor Hugh Carey cut the ribbon at the dedication of the Museum of Long Island Natural Sciences, housed in the Earth and Space Sciences Building. Steven Englebright was the museum’s founder/curator.

Twenty-five-year honorees, you were there when...Thirty-year honorees, you were there when...

...the Sunwood mansion was destroyed by fire in 1986. The 40-room, Tudor-style building was used as a conference center, guest facility, faculty retreat and site for conferences, concerts and social events. After it burned down, the grounds continued to be used for picnicking and swimming. In 2002 Sunwood was rebuilt as a presidential residence and site for entertainment, fundraising and other special events by the University community.

30

...the Lecture Center was renamed in 1984 in honor of Senator Jacob K. Javits, a staunch advocate of higher education and a friend to Stony Brook. Three years earlier he had donated his public papers to the University.

...in 1987 the first cardboard and duct-taped boats sailed across (or sunk trying to cross) Roth Pond, as one of Stony Brook’s favorite traditions — the annual Roth Pond Regatta — was born.

...the Pollock-Krasner House, former studio and home of Jackson Pollock and his wife, artist Lee Krasner, was deeded to the Stony Brook Foundation in 1987. Pollock was the leader of the abstract expressionist movement. The Foundation preserves the East End National Historic Landmark, which houses an art reference library and documentary archives, and is the site for lectures, art exhibits and courses. Krasner’s paint-spattered shoes are shown at left.

25

...in 1989 the Staller Center for the Arts was dedicated in honor of Max and Mary Staller. Erwin Staller (left) and Terence Netter, the founding director of the center, at the dedication ceremony.

...Stony Brook hosted a display of the AIDS Memorial Quilt in April 1992. The quilt was exhibited across the country to raise awareness and funds for AIDS service organizations until 1996.

...Senator Kenneth P. LaValle took part in the first Campus Cleanup Day, now known as Pride Patrol.

...the first Suffolk County Police helicopter touched down on the Hospital’s helipad. Helicopter transport to the Hospital is provided to the critically ill or injured throughout Suffolk County.

...the Long Island State Veterans Home opened in 1991.The skilled nursing care facility provides health and rehabilitative care to U.S. Armed Forces veterans and is an important site for geriatric research.

...in 1990 President John H. Marburger III had the honor of greeting the Dalai Lama of Tibet on his visit to Stony Brook. The Dalai Lama gave a lecture and was presented with an honorary degree.

Stony Brook today

The newest addition to the University’s top-notch facilities is the Computer Science Building, which will accelerate SB’s growth in collabo-rative research in bioinformatics, smart energy and cyber engineering.

Pulitzer-winning journalists, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein took a look back at Watergate during a special Presidential Lecture, just one example of the incredible guests who have visited SB through the years.

In late 2014, we celebrated the opening of the newly renovated Island Federal Credit Union Arena, home to our stellar basketball program, music concerts and special events.

From our humble beginning with 148 students studying to become teachers, we now offer 68 majors and 80 minors to more than 24,607 undergraduate and graduate students.

As of 2014 there are more than 160,000 Stony Brook alumni. Each of you can take pride in having helped those students reach their goals and make their marks in the world.
