September 10, 2025

Stony Brook's Google Contacts  now contains contact information of all Stony Brook faculty, students and staff at all campuses. It also lists shared mailboxes.  Each user's Directory profile has email address. Faculty and staff listings also include department, title and lists of Managers and Reports. If available, you'll also see recent interactions (e.g., recent emails or events with the contact) and/or shared files.
