    New Seawolf Family Programs

    As a Proud Seawolf Family Member, we know you play a vital role in your student's success and look forward to your partnership in the transition of your newest Seawolf to Stony Brook University. We encourage you to take advantage of our online and in person sessions to help prepare and understand the academic and social environment at SBU. 

    SBU is now your new home as well, and we hope to help you get acclimated to the community!

    The Office of Family Services and Support is a resource for you from orientation through to graduation! Stay connected with our Family Connect Newsletter. 

    More information and events will appear on this page once available. For an overview and in-person dates, please review our New Seawolf Welcome webpage.
