From the Archives: President Stanley Gives SBU Memento

President Stanley gives Speaker Heastie an article written about him when he was an SBU student.

When Stony Brook University President Samuel L. Stanley met with New York State Assembly Speaker and Stony Brook alum Carl Heastie in Albany on March 17, he presented Speaker Heastie with a framed copy of an archived article written about him when he was a student reporter for Stony Brook’s Blackworld newspaper. Read more here.

Student newspapers, including Blackworld, The Stony Brook Press, and The Stony Brook Statesman, along with yearbooks and other historic materials that document university and campus life, are part of the University Archives.

These collections have been digitized and can be freely accessed online. Learn more about Special Collections and University Archives here. -Kristen J. Nyitray, Head, Special Collections and University Archives, University Archivist
