Earthstock! Today, in the Academic Mall.
Eat at Tai Show, an amazing sushi bar
The tennis courts are open!!! Try your hand at a doubles game.

It’s that time of year again. SSK’s Art Festival just kicked off yesterday, and Earthstock is tomorrow. If you’d like to volunteer for Earthstock, check out their link on the school homepage– you’ll get a free t-shirt and food (which is always nice around this time of year). We highly suggest you do it; it’s [...]

Why can’t we dress like this?

While everyone here knows that we are not exactly huge fans of Stony Brook dining (pizza, really? again?), we can’t complain because Executive Chef’s Kitchen and Fuzions and now… Starbucks! try to balance out the mix.

If only we could be there tonight. At Pier Sixty in Manhattan, Stony Brook University is having their annual Gala. This year, Stony Brook is honoring Dr. Nancy Rauch Douzinas, President of the Rauch Foundation and Stony Brook Foundation trustee. According to our school website, she was named as one of the “Top Influential People in [...]

This week’s guest blogger is Emily Gover, a student at Stony Brook University. Gover is a third-year English major. Her journalism work can be found in the University newspaper, The Stony Brook Statesman, where she has been a contributing writer (and now editor) since 2006.
I’ve found lately that whenever I turn on the radio, I have [...]

So by now you are probably sick of even looking at campus food. Don’t worry, we feel you. But unlike the majority of The Brook, we have been sneaking off across the tracks to grab some Mexican delight. Yes, Green Cactus is overpriced, and the menu is a tad too similar to Blue Agave, but [...]
