The Evolution of the Meditation Room at Stony Brook University

Did you know the University committed funds to support students with a beautiful space for quiet reflection and mindfulness?

During the turbulent years of 2020-2022, Stony Brook University’s leadership team committed funds to assist students with mental health support as they navigated the immense uncertainty and loss brought on by the worldwide pandemic. Vice President Rick Gatteau utilized HEERF funds to rebuild SAC 226 into a beautiful space for reflection and quiet contemplation. We hope all students take some time to enjoy the led meditation classes and begin to understand the gifts a daily sitting meditation practice can offer.
