GOLD Committee Members
BS, Business Management
"As someone in communications, I recognize how important networking is. My love for SBU means that I am excited to be part of an organization that connects SBU alumni. My goal is to eventually be a professor at SBU so being part of the GOLD committee gives me the opportunity to connect with alumni to better understand how to connect with students and provide career support."
"After relocating from New York to Houston following graduation, I wanted to reconnect with the Stony Brook alumni community to expand my professional network and build meaningful connections."
"I joined the GOLD committee because Stony Brook was such an integral part of my personal and professional development, and I wanted to stay connected to the university community after graduating. My undergraduate experience gave me meaningful opportunities to grow as a student and leader, and I wanted to give back to the institution that supported my growth. I saw the GOLD committee as a way to connect with fellow recent alumni, offer perspectives from my experience, and help strengthen the relationship between Stony Brook’s current students and recent graduates."
"I joined the GOLD Committee because I wanted to stay connected to the Stony Brook community while creating meaningful opportunities for fellow alumni. Being part of such a friendly and welcoming group has given me the chance to build strong relationships, expand my professional network, and collaborate with other graduates who are equally passionate about supporting and giving back to the university community."
"I joined the GOLD Committee because I wanted to stay involved with Stony Brook after graduating and give back to a community that had such a big impact on me. It’s a great way to stay connected, meet other alumni and help create opportunities for current and future students."
"I joined the GOLD Committee because I wanted to stay connected to Stony Brook after graduating and find a meaningful way to give back."

opportunities for recent graduates to stay connected, build community and remain engaged
with the University.
