This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Roth Regatta! The history of this annual SBU tradition can be traced in the University Archives through photographs, newspaper articles, and more. The first event was held on April 28, 1989 and was founded by the “Roth Pond Yacht Club.” Good luck to all entries on May 10 as they race across Roth Pond in their unique and creative cardboard and duct tape creations! The event will be streamed live on May 10 beginning at 12:45pm.
Construction began on Roth Quad in December 1965 and was completed in July 1967. The quad is named after Emery Roth & Sons, the architects.
