Support Your School or College at Seawolves Football During the 2025 Dean’s Challenge

Eleven Stony Brook University colleges and schools were chosen to participate in the 2025 Stony Brook Athletics Dean's Challenge, with the intention of building partnerships and bridging the gap between academics and athletics on campus.

Each school is given an opportunity to rally fans for football games during the fall season, and the school with the greatest attendance is named the winner.

The Challenge is spread out over three Seawolves football games at LaValle Stadium:

• Matchup one featured the School of Health Professions, College of Arts and Sciences and School of Professional Development at the Seawolves' September 13 game against Fordham.
• The second matchup sees The Graduate School line up against the Renaissance School of Medicine and the School of Communication and Journalism at the September 27 game against Merrimack at 3:30 pm.
• The third and final showdown is a five-way battle between the School of Nursing, School of Social Welfare, College of Business, School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences and the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences on November 8 against North Carolina A&T at noon.
