A TIME-HONORED RELATIONSHIP. The right chemistry changes everything. For Stony Brook University, our relationship with families of Renaissance Technologies has been a vital catalyst for innovation and excellence. Starting with a gift made 35 years ago by Renaissance Founder and former Stony Brook Math Department Chair Jim Simons, our relationship has resulted in more than $500 million generously donated by 111 Renaissance families.
A SHARED VISION OF INNOVATION AND EXCELLENCE. A lasting relationship is based on more than donations. It’s focused on a shared strategic vision for the future. The active engagement of Renaissance families has fueled research, technology and programs across the Stony Brook University campus and beyond, sustaining Stony Brook’s commitment to innovation and creating a true “renaissance” of academic and research excellence.
A NEW NAME TO HONOR OUR VALUED DONORS. To thank the Renaissance families who shared in our vision and transformed the University, we are proud to name one of our premier academic and research programs in their honor. Now, our medical school will pioneer groundbreaking medical treatments and provide leading-edge, innovative medical care as the Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University. |
