This is the kind of thing the University needs to be bragging
about on its social media pages. Really get the word out there.

Very impressive. The athletic staff needs to put such rankings
front and center in the promotional materials they send to
potential recruits.

On an interesting related note, six of the top 10 public
universities on that list are not FBS in football.

I'm furious about the US News ranking. We dropped 11 spots from
last year. Why?? I also notice that several private schools that
used to be regional are now National Universities and are up on
the list now. Gonzaga, Gallaudet, Hampton, etc. I think maybe
they changed how they evaluated public vs private and gave more
private schools an edge? Seems like it.

Stony Brook Offers Path to American Dream, Marketwatch Says

> Stony Brook University is showcased as a university that
“helps low-income kids move into the middle class and beyond” in
an op-ed published September 20 in Marketwatch.
>
> “There’s something special going on at SUNY Stony Brook,” says
John Friedman, co-author of a study identifying the U.S.
colleges and universities that best promote upward mobility, who
is quoted in the article.
>
> “Over the past five years, Stony Brook has improved graduation
rates across the board,” writes op-ed author Howard Gold. “It
has a high-tech, data-driven focus on student performance and a
high-touch, advisor-heavy outreach program to make sure kids
stay on track.”

Opinion: These 10 solid U.S. colleges prove you don’t need
Harvard or Yale to achieve the American Dream

> State and local public universities help low-income kids move
into the middle class and beyond
>
> The researchers found that highly selective colleges and
universities such as Berkeley, Columbia, MIT, Stanford, and
Swarthmore (which I attended as a first-generation college
student) actually do a very good job of elevating lower-income
kids to the middle-class and beyond. But they take so few kids
from the bottom 20% — less than 4% of enrollment — they can’t
move the needle much.
>
> Good state and local universities, however, can and do. That’s
why they dominate the list of the 10 colleges that are most
effective in helping their graduates move from the lowest 20%
(family incomes below $25,000 a year) to the top 20% ($110,000
and above). That’s the stuff of Horatio Alger stories, yet it
happens all the time at these American Dream machines.
>
> Only Stony Brook University (of the State University of New
York) cracks U.S. News & World Report’s top 100 national
universities rankings for 2020.
>
> The authors contrasted Stony Brook, on eastern Long Island,
with Columbia, the Manhattan-based Ivy League university founded
in 1754. Not surprisingly, lower-income students who attended
Columbia, where they hobnob with the sons and daughters of the
American oligarchy, had seven times the likelihood of climbing
to the top 1% of the economic ladder as kids who attended Stony
Brook. But Stony Brook offered many, many more students access
to the middle- and upper-middle class than Columbia.
>
> “There's something special going on at SUNY Stony Brook, and
we don't quite know yet what that is,” Friedman said.
>
> So, I called Stony Brook to find out. Over the past five
years, Stony Brook has improved graduation rates across the
board. It has a high-tech, data-driven focus on student
performance and a high-touch, advisor-heavy outreach program to
make sure kids stay on track.
>
> Stony Brook is selective, with a 40%+ acceptance rate, and
draws almost 10% of its students from New York City’s fabled
specialized high schools. Its $10,000 a year in-state tuition,
especially when combined with grants and aid, looks dirt cheap
compared with Columbia’s $55,000 tuition (though elite colleges
provide generous financial aid).
>
> Good things are happening — at Stony Brook and elsewhere, even
as states have cut $9 billion from public universities over the
last decade. Stony Brook’s budget, for example, remains below
where it was before the Great Recession.
