Stony Brook University

Welcome Back

Greetings Colleagues,

Welcome back to the 2024-25 school year. It is my distinct pleasure to be part of an organization that continues to show passion and commitment to shaping the young minds of students attending Stony Brook University. As we begin this new school year, let us continue to create a nurturing and engaging environment where everyone on campus feels valued and supported. As you know our impact goes beyond the classroom, and I am tremendously grateful for the dedication from the chapter members on campus. THANK YOU for being incredible. I anticipate exciting and some challenging times ahead of us. We will get through both together and continue to be successful as a union. UUP is here to work and represent you, the member.

On the top of the list to welcome everyone is the Annual UUP BBQ on 9/18, as well as several workshops and other events that will be added to the academic calendar. Please keep yourself up to date by reading the Happy Pay Day announcements.

And remember ~ A work environment where employees are shown value, merit and free from intimidation prosper, grow and are successfully strong. That is our mission ~ to be UUP STRONG!

In Unity,

Louise

Campus Parking Cost Comparisons

UUP member volunteers compiled a comprehensive list of parking fees incurred at each SUNY campus, as well as the private colleges and universities on Long Island.

Based on these findings, nearly 85% of SUNY campuses charge less than $50 per year, with more than 50% of those schools providing free parking. Stony Brook management’s current parking proposal, which was initially presented in February, seeks to charge upwards of $600 per year to park on campus.
