The purpose of the Open House is to acquaint incoming grad and PhD students with the faculty, labs, and Stony Brook campus.  During their visit, they will hear presentations from faculty about the department and our research.  There will be plenty of time to meet current graduate students, see the facilities and campus, and find out the details about our program requirements, and life at Stony Brook.

To begin the day, new admits will gather at the Hilton Garden Inn lobby between 8:45 and 9AM and proceed as a group for a quick breakfast at the Student Activity Center (SAC).  Most of the day will then be spent attending talks and meeting with the faculty and current graduate students. After dinner, guests will be taken back to the Hilton Garden Inn in the evening.  Although newly admitted grad/PhD students can arrive and/or leave on the day of the open house, we recommend that you arrive on the previous day (Thursday) and leave on the following day (Saturday).

A detailed agenda will be posted a day or two before the event.
