Message from Dr. Nicole Sampson, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and Distinguished Professor of Chemistry

Congratulations Department of Chemistry Class of 2021 and to the parents, partners, siblings, and friends who supported them. Thank you for joining us to honor our students and be a part of this special celebration.

The past year has brought new challenges that many of us have never experienced in our lives. And yet here we are, celebrating your journey and looking forward to your next chosen path, while certainly never forgetting your last year at Stony Brook University.

I applaud each of you, our amazing Seawolves! Our courageous, tenacious and dedicated students who did not lose sight of the finish line, eager to complete this phase of your education and achieve your dreams. Our next wave of leaders.

Today, toss your caps in the air. You made it! Be safe and well.

Cheers,

Dean Sampson
