What is the SFS Retreat?
The Planning Committee for the 2008 Student-Faculty-Staff (SFS) Retreat is accepting applications from Stony Brook University students who would like to be considered for participation in this year’s event. The SFS Retreat will begin when buses leave campus at 2 p.m. on Friday, November 7 and will end on Saturday, November 8 at 4 p.m. when we board buses to return to the Stony Brook campus.
This overnight Retreat will be held at the Glen Cove Mansion in Glen Cove, NY. In this, its twenty-fourth year, the Retreat brings together a diverse mix of 60 Stony Brook students, faculty, staff and administrators who will focus their attention on our theme: Enhancing Student Engagement in Undergraduate Education!
What are the Benefits of Attending?
The SFS Retreat is an annual Stony Brook tradition where select students, professors and administrators are invited to participate together as a “think-tank” to better understand and continue to improve our campus. Because space is limited for all parties, it is an honor for all to attend the SFS Retreat.
Specifically, the benefits of attending are:
- To be a part of dialogue to help improve the campus, the campus climate and the student experience
- To spend an all-expenses-paid night off-campus with some of the most respected scholars, educators and administrators worldwide
- To help faculty and administrators understand the Stony Brook experience from students’ points of view.
- The food is great!
