Advocacy
Seawolves have an impact
Stony Brook students, faculty and researchers are among the most effective advocates in advancing critical priorities such as investment in higher education, student financial aid, and scientific research. Sharing your personal stories and work, you can demonstrate the real-life impact of choices that policymakers can make.
Meetings with policymakers and their staff can result in valuable outcomes when a thoughtful and strategic advocacy approach is used. Alternatively, the wrong approach to advocacy can result in setbacks.
Embrace the opportunity you have to make a difference, use a successful approach to advocacy, and familiarize yourself with federal and state lobbying compliance.
