President McInnis Delivers Stony Brooks State of the University AddressAround 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.
