S.T.A.C. (Students Taking Aim at Challenges) is an advocacy club (made up of both disabled and non-disabled students) that is dedicated to increasing on campus awareness about various disabilities, visible as well as invisible. We aim to help breakdown stereotypes, increase respect and understanding, and to help the disabled community at large.
We meet in the lounge at DSS (which is attached to the ECC building behind the SAC) from 11:30am to 12:30pm on Wednesdays so feel free to come visit us!

Events we have been involved in...
- Spread the Word to End the Word (hosted) – Spread the Word to End the Word is a nation movement started by the Special Olympics to help end the use of the word "retarded" from every day language as an insult. We expanded the this idea slightly to try to end the use of all disability related words as an insult and had Rohan Murphy as a guest speaker.
- Movie Nights (hosted) – We have hosted several movie nights that where we watch movies that depict disability from the perspective of people with disabilities.
- Seawolves vs. Thunderbolts: Special Olympic Hockey – Every year Stony Brook's roller hockey team plays the Special Olympics' deck hockey team the Thunderbolts in an effort to raise money for the Special Olympics. This past year we tabled at their event and sold glow in the dark wristbands to help raise money for the Special Olympics.
- Walk Against Domestic Violence – Since the risk of being a victim of domestic violence is far greater for people with disabilities, we participated in the walk and information fair that took place after.
- Diversity Day – We had a table at diversity day where we talked to people and handed out information about disability awareness.
- V-Day Information Fair – We had a table at the information fair and talked to people and handed out information about disability awareness.
