As in-person classes have returned, students give their opinions on the state of Stony Brook University. Our State of the University issue highlights various aspects of the University.
The Statesman met with University President Maurie McInnis this past weekend as she responds to questions and concerns from students, faculty and staff, in regards to the State of the University.

#OPINION: I do not think SBU is tough for arts and humanities majors in terms of STEM bias. I think we can network and fit in using our classes, clubs, apps or the internet.
