STONY BROOK, N.Y. – The Stony Brook Development Team crowned the College of Arts and Sciences the winners of the third annual Dean's Challenge for the Fall 2025 semester.

Throughout the fall semester, eleven different colleges/schools were chosen to participate in the Stony Brook Athletics Dean's Challenge with the intention of building partnerships and bridging the gap between academics on campus and athletics. Each school was given an opportunity to rally fans for football games during the fall season and the school with the greatest attendance was selected as the winner.

The College of Arts and Sciences received the Dean's Challenge Trophy on November 22 at the last football game of the season. They will keep the trophy for the 2025-26 school year and were also awarded a $250 book scholarship courtesy of the Athletic Department.
