Stony Brook, N.Y. - On Saturday, October 20, Stony Brook University will host the annual Homecoming celebration known as "Wolfstock." The celebration promises to be one of the best yet as a record turnout is expected to commemorate the University's 50th anniversary. Join us for a spectacular day as we welcome you back to campus to re-kindle old friendships, reminisce, and re-discover a university that has transformed. The Wolfstock Village will open at 11:30 a.m. to be followed by the homecoming football game that will feature the University of Maine taking on our Seawolves at 3 p.m. The festivities continue into the evening with a postgame BBQ by Famous Dave's and fireworks by Grucci.

In addition, the Department of Athletics will host an Alumni Reunion tent as we welcome back our former student-athletes to campus. The Athletics Alumni Reunion Tent, which will be located in the Wolfstock Village near the track, is designed to reunite all former Stony Brook student-athletes in one place to connect and reminisce about the days on campus. There will be plenty of food, beverages and gifts at the Reunion Tent to celebrate homecoming as we gear up for the University of Maine vs. Stony Brook football game at 3 p.m.

If you haven't been to a Homecoming lately, you will be astonished at all of the fun filled activities that the Alumni Association has planned for the entire family at Wolfstock Village. Enjoy the live music in the food and wine tasting tent with delicious tastes from dozens of Long Island's restaurants, vineyards, and microbreweries. You can also take your family to the Kids Zone loaded with hands-on and educational activities such as a marine life touch tank, magic shows, Seawolves inflatables and an exotic animal petting zoo.
