Getting Involved on Campus:
An Important Aspect of the College Journey
Getting involved can help students make friends and find a community on campus. The office of Student Engagement and Activities creates opportunities for students to engage, learn and connect by providing platforms, programs, spaces, and support systems that connect them to each other, and the wider campus community. They cultivate a community ethos where each student is and feels valued in all of their identities and experiences that make them unique members of our community.
There are countless ways to get involved! We have more than 350 student recognized organizations that provide transformational experiences to our students. Studies show involved students have higher GPAs. In 21-22, our executive board members in recognized student organizations reported an average cumulative GPA of 3.5.
One way your student can tune into campus life is by visiting the SB Engaged website, stonybrook.edu/sbengaged along with its companion, the CORQ app (available in iOS and Android), which connects students with opportunities, events, and organizations on campus. If it’s happening on campus and of interest to students, it’s on SB Engaged! Students can also use the theme, category, and perks filters on the left side of SB Engaged to search for specific types of events.
