New President for the University


Dr. Samuel Stanley has been named the new president of Stony Brook University. He takes office July 1st. Very impressive CV. Seems quite down to earth and with a lovely family, too.

What an event for your university! Dr. Stanley does look like a very pleasant person - he also looks quite young.

During the 20 years that I worked at UTMB in Galveston, there were 2 new presidents - always an important time for the higher ups in the University. There was never much change in the computer department where I worked.

Does Stony Brook provide a home for the new president and his family?

Yes, housing is provided.

I went to the inauguration for the present President, Shirley Strum Kenney about 15 years ago. What a shindig. She has made the campus a really beautiful place. Wish it had looked so good when I worked there years ago.
