As part of the Presidential Lecture series presented by Stony Brook President Samuel L. Stanley Jr., Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, author and visiting professor Carl Bernstein offered his insight in a lecture called “Why Isn’t Our Government Working—And Can It?”

With the addition of Mr. Bernstein and hopefully others like him our school will become a bolstered academic powerhouse, benefiting from increases funds, more determined students and a strong staff. Our school will be second to none in the entire nation. Having Mr. Bernstein here, teaching at our university, is a big step forward towards an already blaring bright future for all of Stony Brook.
