Stony Brook University President Maurie McInnis has issued a message praising the “extraordinary response” of faculty and staff to the challenges faced during the coronavirus pandemic. The message reads as follows:

And now, at the start of March 2021, it is worth reflecting on all we have accomplished together over the past 365 days.
