The Stony Brook Foundation will honor Neil deGrasse Tyson at its 25th annual Stars of Stony Brook Gala on Monday, April 29, at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City for his outstanding contributions to not only the advancement and communication of science but also increasing diversity in STEM fields and making science more accessible and relevant to a wider audience.
“The future of civilization pivots on the science literacy of the electorate. And science literacy flows from a sustained curiosity about the natural world and the objective truths on which it is based,” Tyson said. “It is clear that Stony Brook embraces these goals and remains relentless in this pursuit.”
Proceeds from the April 29 gala will be dedicated entirely to student scholarships. Since its inception in 2000, the Stars of Stony Brook Gala has raised over $68 million to support academic programs and scholarships, significantly impacting students’ lives.
