What is Family Day?
We invite all family members to take part in Family Day, a traditional event that occurs in the Fall Semester.  During this day, family members connect with their students for a chance to experience a bit of student life at Stony Brook University.  Join us for a day of fun-filled activities and entertainment for the entire family!

Family members have the opportunity to attend lectures presented by select faculty, become members-for-the day of some of our student groups, enjoy a tailgate barbeque, and support our Stony Brook Seawolves at the football game!

Family Day provides a great opportunity for family members to connect with one another, and become familiar with university faculty and staff.  We look forward to seeing you soon!

Registration
Registration is required for participation. Ticket prices include lectures, activities, barbeque, and football game.
