The value of Stony Brook
“Sharing expertise and resources is one of the most important benefits of the Stony Brook Initiative. Stony Brook is an invaluable hub for organizations to connect and learn about each other; it provides resources for both the partner institutions and their clients.”
"I have seen a variety of different initiatives from working with the neighborhood over the years, but I haven’t seen one as comprehensive or as fully supported by the administration as Stony Brook. This initiative takes a unique approach, to tailor the assistance to the needs of a particular neighborhood. The community is savvy about programs that do not deliver on initial promises, but this initiative is a serious effort to deal with real community concerns. "
"It takes a lot to be a healthy nonprofit. The university can help us make connections and pay attention to economic and employment indicators, so that our programs are relevant."
