COURTESY OF STONY BROOK UNIVERSITY The Stony Brook University School of Journalism has officially changed their name to the School of Communication and Journalism and will be expanding offered majors and minors to cover broader topics of communication. The name change will be implemented on the School of Journalism’s website, around campus and within its academic program. The School has been partnered with the Alda Center for Communicating Science for the past year. In recent months, after designing a communications program, they began to work with faculty and shared governance bodies to change their name officially. “As one of the flagship research centers in the SUNY [State University of New York] system and a member of the AAU [Association of American Universities], we felt it was time for Stony Brook to engage more completely with the wider field of communication and its importance,” Lori Kie, the communications manager at the School of Communications and Journalism, said.
