How can your Seawolf find their passion at SBU?

We hear from Lamia Khan, a junior majoring in Sociology with a minor in Health, Medicine and Society, who speaks about her experience transferring to SBU and going beyond her comfort zone to find the path that will set her up for success after graduation.

When our students begin their journey at Stony Brook University, they have academic dreams and goals that they plan for with the hopes of a timely graduation and a successful career path.  As family members, we want our students to be prepared with their academic roadmap to ensure they meet all degree requirements and graduate on time! While the responsibilities related to the implementation of their plan lies with them, we can offer them some easy, supportive guidance along the way.

At Stony Brook University, there are many resources available to assist students with their academic planning and our job as family members is to gently remind our students to connect with these resources each semester. All communications related to enrollment dates and deadlines will be sent to their SBU email account, so you can assist them in understanding that they need to check that email at least once a day and to schedule appointments with advisors well before their expected enrollment appointment.

Sometimes an intended academic plan may shift and change as your student takes the time to explore some of the many options that are available to them here at SBU. Remember that your student is taking the lead on this journey and we are here to support them with a sprinkling of love and encouragement along the way!
