President McInnis Delivers Stony Brooks State of the University Address



Around 14:30 McInnis says she's heard that we lack in "sense of belonging" and "welcoming".  And that we need to transform this, renew enthusiasm, etc.  This is an important goal, on day 1 wants students to find personal connection, a place to return to, promoting connection, etc. 

This is the first i've ever heard McInnis- or anyone at SB for that matter- address the elephant in the room.  She sounds committed.

What i like is they've reimagined undergraduate colleges to connect students in disciplines- i read that as putting freshmen in freshmen dorms by major.
Also, the CAA is a good step.  And they've added activities (though that's vague; id love to hear more). 

So, it sounds like she's getting the message.  A step in the right direction.

Talk is cheap.

What is she going to do?

true.  but, it's the first time- to me at least- it's ever been acknowledged by officials.  so that's news, i think.

Any action would be a good first step. Nothing has been done on this by any president as far as I can remember.

Lets see if Hochul follows through with all her big plans. There are doubts on both side of the political spectrum who feels differently already

yeah but politics aside these are still big #s that improve the U.

in fact, during times like these (a pandemic paired with inflation), these #s are even bigger.

so that's good.
