Graduate Student Organization - Stony Brook

We had a full room for the Wednesday afternoon talk, "Evolutionary ecology of geographic range limits in monkeyflowers," with approximately 70 people in attendance, 75% graduate students.

“Listening to Language” was a huge success. Approximately 50 graduate students attended, including many from outside the philosophy department.

The conference featured 8 philosophy graduate students from Professor Gary Mar’s philosophy of language course. The first panel featured collaborative papers from 4 students followed by commentary from professors James DiGiovanna (John Jay College)
and Harvey Cormier (SBU).

We held this event together with RA at Schomburg to have a great culture night.

On that day, there are about 35 people showed up. We ordered the Philippine food, people liked the food very much. We also invited Philippine students to give us a great performance.

People had a lots of fun dancing and playing.

Please check out the photos from the event here.

Fellow graduate students,

Last week we ensured the GSO’s continued existence by voting in favor of the mandatory student activity fee. The fee allows us to put together high quality programming for all graduate students and provides us with the independence we need in order to advocate for you.

The CARA Game Night began in Chapin Commons at 9:00 PM on March 23rd. This program is aimed at enhancing good friendships between residents at Chapin Complex, and relaxing graduate students here who just finished mid-terms. We’ve made thorough research on choosing the games and came up with three that we thought would be fun (as which later proved is) yet safe. As stated in the proposal, the games include “Texas Hold em Poker”, “Three-kingdoms” and “Snakes and ladders”.

Spring Break Party is the event that happened just on the start day of spring break. The theme of the event is to play few fun games and discuss about places to visit during the spring break. All the residents were divided into two groups namely red team and blue team. The game is called as "Yes-No-May be" where the one representative(who was given a famous personalities name) from a team tries to answer 20 questions from his/her team with only these 3 responses (Yes- No- May be). With his/her responses, the team members should identify who that famous personality is.
