MASTER OF ARTS IN

Medical Humanities, Compassionate Care and Bioethics Not just for healthcare professionals, this program serves students from a wide range of disciplines and professional backgrounds, building on a commitment to medical humanism and ethics that has defined education for Stony Brook students for more than three decades.

The 30-credit Master of Arts program can be completed in as little as one year.

“It is through my Master of Arts in Medical Humanities, Compassionate Care and Bioethics that I was able to enrich my knowledge base to include an ethical, medical and legal approach to often challenging situations.”

— Robyn McKeefrey, MA Program Graduate

“ The MA program opened my eyes to new avenues to connect to our patients with respect and compassion.

It inspired me to pilot a program for Arts in Medicine, which has made my staff more receptive to the nonmedical needs of their patients.”

— Linda Bily, MA Program Graduate

From the interim university president ...

I am delighted to introduce the fall issue of Bridges, Stony Brook University’s special supplement to the Times Beacon Record.

Bridges provides us with the opportunity to connect with members of our surrounding community. We value you as part of our extended Seawolves family. It is, therefore, my pleasure to invite you to several upcoming events on campus.

On Saturday, September 21, we are hosting our third CommUniversity Day from 12 pm to 4 pm. This day of celebration highlights the best of Stony Brook through entertainment and interactive activities. We will again feature student performances, hands-on research displays, a revamped Teddy Bear Clinic, and the ever-popular duck race. For the first time this year, participants may work in the outdoor TV

studio with our School of Journalism students, practice improv skills with Improv for All, or try the Senegalese tradition of glass painting at the Zuccaire Gallery.

Our annual Homecoming football game will take place on Saturday, October 5. Starting at 2:30 pm, our pre-game BBQ will include live music, games, and family-friendly activities. At 6 pm, we will take on the James Madison Dukes at LaValle Stadium. Our men’s and women’s soccer teams have already begun their seasons.

I encourage you to watch one of our stellar teams play. Fall schedules for all our athletics programs are inside this issue.

I sincerely hope you will join us at one of our fall events. I look forward to seeing you on campus soon.

Michael Bernstein Interim President, Stony Brook University

From the publisher ...

When my husband and I moved to Long Island, we wanted a university community for its academic, cultural and worldly aspects.

We wanted a top medical community, a village with a sense of its own history and pride in its roots, and a good school district. We also wanted a beautiful place with great recreational activities, near the water.

We found such a location and have lived here going on five decades. It has seldom disappointed, in part because of the presence of Stony Brook University. And even as we raised our family here and grew our careers, so did SBU grow in prestige and in what it offers the community.

To help you, our readers, see what is available on campus and off, we have partnered with the university to bring you a comprehensive resource guide to their events and also, on the other side of the bridge, to our excellent shops and services. We have divided the campus into two halves: east and west.

This is the fifth year of our publication, which concentrates on the west or main campus, and describes its palette of rich offerings and schedules, including sports, lectures and performances to which the public is enthusiastically invited. Bridges also presents the outstanding local business community on the university’s doorstep.

In February, at the start of the second academic semester, we will again publish a similarly comprehensive overview of the east campus.

Called Bridges, to symbolize the alliance of campus and community and to encourage further interaction between us, this resource guide is distributed in all six of our hometown newspapers along the North Shore of Suffolk County and to faculty, students and administration throughout SBU. Please read about and take advantage of the many opportunities to enhance our lives by using these bridges, and think about our shared good fortune to live here.

From Provost to Interim President

On June 20, the SUNY Board of Trustees passed a resolution to appoint Michael Alan Bernstein Interim President of Stony Brook University, effective August 1. Dr. Bernstein, Provost Emeritus of Tulane University, joined Stony Brook University as Provost and Senior Vice-President for Academic Affairs in October 2016. A recipient of four degrees in Economics from Yale University, Dr. Bernstein was a Fulbright Scholar at Christ’s College, Cambridge University. He has held research grants from the American Council of Learned Societies, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library Association, the Economic History Association, and many others. As Stony Brook’s Provost and Chief Academic Officer, Dr. Bernstein has overseen numerous initiatives aimed at supporting the University’s missions in research, scholarship, art-making, and teaching, with an emphasis on enhancing diversity and inclusion.

We sat down with Dr. Bernstein to learn more about his plans for continuing Stony Brook’s upward trajectory as a distinguished research institution, driver of economic growth and vehicle for student success.

After three years at Stony Brook, what is your impression of the University as a scholarly community - and of its impact locally, nationally, and globally?

Stony Brook is an outstanding institution of public higher education with tremendous sway, visibility, and impact. We have a marvelous identity as a leading research, scholarship and medical institution, and are known for providing an outstanding education to our undergraduate, graduate and professional students. Our world-class faculty is highly visible and well regarded, as evidenced by memberships in the National Academy, significant research awards and accomplishments, and our association with entities like Brookhaven National Laboratory.

As I like to say, we are an elite university, not an elitist university. We serve one of the most diverse student bodies in the Association of American Universities (AAU). Forty percent of our students are first generation college bound, and that’s a pretty unique statistic for an AAU level institution. The socioeconomic mobility that Stony Brook provides these students is inspiring; we’re transforming families’ lives in remarkable ways.

And then of course, there’s our service to the community. The University is a major driver of economic development and vitality here on the island. Not only are we Long Island’s largest single site employer, we also oversee the Long Island State Veterans Home, conduct marine and atmospheric science research on Long Island and beyond, and lead an academic medical center and expanding hos-

Additionally, through our affiliation with Brookhaven National Laboratory, we are one of only eight universities responsible for the collaborative management of a national laboratory. All of these efforts contribute to our regional impact, which I am excited to say now totals $7.23 billion in annual economic output.

inclusiveness. And we will build upon Stony Brook Medicine’s strong reputation known for outstanding, accessible and affordable health care and cutting-edge research.

When you consider your many accomplishments as Provost, of which are you most proud?

The key job of the Provost’s Office is to What are the chief goals you have as Interim recruit and retain excellent faculty, and I am President? most proud of our team’s ability to do just that.

You have said that you intend to build upon the legacy of outgoing President Stanley. Are there particular aspects of that legacy that you intend to emphasize going forward?

Of course, we will emphasize President Stanley’s focus on student success. Graduation and retention rates are much higher today than they were ten years ago when President Stanley took office. Our six-year graduation rate is in the 60th percentile, which is excellent for a public university. Getting into the 70th percentile is not a pipe dream — that is something we can accomplish over time.

Our research portfolio also grew under President Stanley, and I will continue to encourage that growth. Our externally funded grants and contracts are steadily increasing, and that is a testimony to the quality of the faculty. In solidifying Stony Brook’s reputation as an innovative research university and academic medical center, President Stanley put us on the right path, as demonstrated by alliances with Brookhaven National Laboratory and Cold Spring

Bridges Q&A

Continued from page S9 Harbor Laboratory. Furthermore, Stony Brook Medicine has become a significant medical enterprise. We have added a hospital tower, built the Stony Brook Children’s Hospital, and created an innovative research building. Southampton Hospital and Eastern Long Island Hospital have also joined the Stony Brook Medicine system. These are great steps forward for our community, and I will do my part in ensuring that success continues.

How can SBU and other public institutions bridge the gap to make up for the budgetary issues arising from the fact that state budget support is not growing?

We monitor costs diligently, but as is the trend in public higher education, state support, other than for fringe benefit payments, is not growing. The only way for us to generate additional revenue is to be more innovative.

Like many institutions of higher education, we are exploring online education as a source of revenue, along with ways to monetize current activities on campus for a wider audience.

Academic disciplines such as computer sci-

ence, which offers an area of expertise that is in high demand, could further extend learning opportunities to the external community. These efforts will be pursued in both STEM and Humanities fields.

Why is diversity so important to higher education?

An environment that values diversity, equity and inclusion provides our students with the ability to learn how best to be part of today’s evolving workforce and the global community.

It also allows our University to become a better research institution. Through our diverse faculty and student populations, we gain richer perspectives and we improve our research and scholarly outcomes. Whether we are thinking about future advancements in medical therapy, environmental solutions to climate change, or socioeconomic change in public policy, a more diverse population prompts new ways of analyzing these issues and devising better solutions to pressing contemporary problems.

What do you consider to be the most important strengths and opportunities for the University?

I am a big believer in what I call ‘place-based

identity,’ the idea that our strengths and areas of focus are driven by our geographic location. Given our expertise in energy research, the health sciences, and engineering, we have taken opportunities to form close alliances with nationally renowned laboratories in our area. Our coastal location allows us to operate a marine and atmospheric sciences school that works on local and global problems of the day – a school that is unique in the SUNY system. In addition, our proximity to New York City, an epicenter of culture and ingenuity with its many museums, archival collections, and exhibitions, enables us to be at the forefront of rapid innovation in the fine arts. Those are just some of the ways in which our location enables us to do extraordinary work in an array of fields, and our opportunities within these areas are boundless.

We also have the ability to train the next generation of practitioners, scholars and leaders. Stony Brook University has nearly 17,000 undergrads, and as I said earlier, forty percent of them are first generation college bound. We revitalize that very powerful opportunity each fall.

If you weren’t working in higher ed, where would you see yourself?

Enjoying the Day on the Stony Brook Campus In addition to being a center of education and research, the Stony Brook campus is a wonderful place for members of our community to relax, have fun or be entertained.

For a short respite from the hustle and bustle, take a walk through the Ashley Schiff Park Preserve, across from Roth Pond. It’s a 26-acre island of tranquility filled with trees and plants in their natural environment. Nature lovers will also enjoy a guided tour of the Life Sciences Greenhouse, situated on a quarter acre and housing breathtakingly beautiful plants and f lowers from all over the world — more than 65 botanical families in all. Call 631-632-8524 for more information.

More active visitors may want to take a ride on the Paul Simons Memorial Bike Path. The

six-mile-long bike lane provides students, faculty, staff and visitors with a safe, sustainable alternative way to travel around the University and improve their fitness and aerobic health.

For Broadway-style shows, concerts, dance and films, the Staller Center is your ticket to first-class entertainment. For more exotic fare, the Charles B. Wang Center dazzles visitors with cultural wonders from Asia and the Indian subcontinent. Stony Brook is also home to the best college sports on Long Island. Our 18 varsity teams include NCAA champions in football, basketball, lacrosse and baseball.

This is just a sampling of the many things to see and do at Stony Brook University. For more on what our campus offers, visit stonybrook.edu.

Take a stroll through Ashley Schiff Park Preserve, one of the most tranquil spots on the Stony Brook campus.

If I had to do it all over again, I might have majored in anthropology. I find it a fascinating field, especially economic anthropology, which explores human economic behavior in its broadest historic and cultural context. That is, of course, unless the New York Yankees chose me to play third base!

What advice would you give to those students who are beginning their college career this fall?

I encourage students to explore the fields in which they will thrive. If you are a matriculated student at Stony Brook, you are already ahead of many of your peers, so make the best of it. Study what you are passionate about and you will be successful. It is not what you major in, it is how you major.

The fundamental piece of advice I always give students is that it is not about knowing what you’re going to do next—it’s about being ready for the opportunity that comes. Crucial moments of transition usually come when least expected and they never come packaged in ways you would anticipate. When you apply yourself to what you love, and are open to the possibilities, success will find you. Be ready.

SBIR/STTR TECHNOLOGY MATCHING GRANT PROGRAM

Stony Brook SBDC also administers a program to provide matching funds for laboratory equipment to successful Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant recipients throughout Nassau and Suffolk Counties. These matching grants will reimburse up to 20 percent of the cost for eligible laboratory equipment purchased

by SBIR winning companies up to a maximum of $50,000.

If your Long Island-based company has been awarded a SBIR and/or STTR award after May 2, 2014, which identifies your company as active in the federal grant arena, your company may be eligible for this matching grant.

Stony Brook Working Toward Healthier, Happier and Safer Future

Stony Brook University sits on nearly 1,500 acres of land and includes more than 200 major buildings with a combined area of more than 11 million gross square feet. However, the University’s impact and influence go far beyond the acreage of its campus.

Following is a look at three important initiatives through which Stony Brook is working to help shape a healthier, more sustainable world.

Engineering and technology will play a major role in diagnosing and treating illnesses.

The Future of Medicine Operating in the intersection of engineering and biomedical sciences, Stony Brook scholars and physicians are working on technology that could revolutionize patient care.

“The future of medicine will be the convergence of computers, nanotechnology, sensors, and new materials with biology and medicine,” says Fotis Sotiropoulos, Dean, College of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Stony Brook. “This brings with it the possibility to greatly improve clinical care and outcomes.”

For example, in the Renaissance School of Medicine, Dr. Sandeep Mallipattu and his colleagues are currently working to identify molecular mechanisms that could play a key role in fighting the most common types of kidney disease. These efforts might one day help open the door to actually “building” a functional kidney.

“We’re working on groundbreaking research to combine these organoids with what we call biological scaffolds to organize the cells into a structure that can be implanted,” Dr. Mallipattu explains. “By promoting self-assembly of these newly generated cells on biological scaffolds, we hope to build a human kidney suitable for transplantation.”

“Modern medicine has advanced significantly since the days when 99 percent of all drugs to treat human disease were discovered by pure serendipity,” said Kenneth Kaushansky, M.D., Senior Vice President for Health Sciences, and Dean of the Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University, adding, “we are entering a new era in medicine — coupling engineering to medicine — and Stony Brook University intends to lead this revolution in convergence science.”

Aging in Place in Suburbia

Working to Ensure Clean Water

“The fastest growing population on Long Island is older adults,” says Jacqueline Mondros, Dean of the School of Social Welfare and assistant vice president of Social Determinants of Health at Stony Brook University. “And the segment with the most growth is those over 90.”

Historically, this aging segment of the population would be tended to at home by an extended family, or spend their later years in what were once known as “retirement homes,” and more commonly today as “assisted-living facilities.”

Now, after a life spent in suburbia, aging Long Islanders, like more than 80 percent of all older adults, want to remain in their homes and communities and continue to enjoy the independence that defined their adult lives -- while still getting the medical and social attention they require -- hence the term “Aging in Place.” Unfortunately, these residents are often faced with the difficult reality of securing a future where affordable, independent living is possible.

Mondros set out to help establish Stony Brook as a center to lead the effort in creating a model to help address the future needs of this burgeoning population on Long Island and elsewhere. Today, researchers from Stony Brook’s College of Engineering and Applied Sciences, School of Medicine and School of Nursing are studying new “Internet-of-Things” technologies to address the challenges of growing older and “aging in place.” The goal of these researchers is to create an environment of connected devices that enable constant yet unobtrusive observation and data-gathering.

“People just don’t plan to age, and the norm, unfortunately, is that individuals and families don’t do anything until there is a crisis,” she says. “Our programs encourage students to consider ‘Aging-inPlace’ as a career. We’ve had success in training and continuing education, but we need to get everyone involved to think more broadly about aging.”

In November 2017 the School launched an Aging in Place Specialist Certificate program, a program that was offered as an elective this year to graduate students earning their MSW degrees. In fall 2019, it will be expanded throughout New York State via an online learning platform.

There are currently about 350,000 antiquated concrete septic systems in place in Suffolk County, and about 500,000 in total for all of Long Island. “That’s not a good thing,” said Frank Russo, associate director for wastewater initiatives at the Stony Brook Center for Clean Water Technology. “We’re dumping sewage into the ground, and that eventually makes its way to the groundwater.”

Which, by the way, is Long Island’s only source of drinking water.

Chemically speaking, the problem is nitrate, an inorganic compound that occurs under a variety of conditions in the environment, both naturally and synthetically. Nitrate is one of the most common groundwater contaminants in suburban areas, and is regulated in drinking water primarily because excess levels can cause methemoglobinemia, or “blue baby” disease.

Nitrate in groundwater originates primarily from septic systems, and many products commonly found in any household. Though these wastes are deposited deep in the ground, they eventually seep out into surface waters. On Long Island, that means the nitrate ends up in places like Great South Bay, Peconic Bay, and the Long Island Sound, which are precious marine resources for Long Island.

To help combat the problem, Stony Brook is working to develop technology that will remove nitrogen before it can reach the groundwater. The initiative, dubbed “10/10/30,” aims to develop technology that can get the nitrate levels down to 10 mg/liter in a system that costs no more than $10,000 and has a lifespan of at least 30 years.

“We are pilot testing a version of this system, but so far they are too land-intensive for parts of Long Island,” said Russo. “We need to understand the process, apply existing theories and combine it with our research to get it to a point where the systems are smaller.”

Though drinking water cleanliness is an important driver in this research, there’s another potentially catastrophic danger that’s growing; Long Island’s wetlands are disappearing. The wetlands absorb tidal surges, serving as an important barrier during hurricanes.

The devastating effects of this erosion were realized in 2012 when Hurricane Sandy ravaged the East Coast and caused an estimated $19 billion of damage to New York City and the surrounding areas, including Long Island.

“There are important questions that need to be answered,” said Arjun Venkatesan, associate director for drinking water at the Stony Brook Center for Clean Water Technology. “We’re trying to attach emerging contaminants and others that are not currently regulated.

We need to develop a fundamental understand of the chemical transformation and any potential toxic by-products formed and figure out the best way to move forward.”

— By Rob Emproto

Stony Brook’s far-reaching “Aging in Place” initiative aims to meet the needs of Long Island’s growing population of elderly residents.

HELPING YOU NAVIGATE TO OPTIMAL HEALTH

David Dunaief, M.D. Integrative Medicine

• A Whole Body Approach • Reversing, Preventing & Treating Chronic Disease and Managing Weight by Connecting Conventional Medicine with Lifestyle Modifications Our Philosophy is simple.

We believe wellness is derived through nutritional medicine and lifestyle interventions that prevent and treat chronic diseases.

Medications have their place - and in some cases can be lifesaving.

However, there’s no medication without side effects. The goal should be to limit the need for medications - or minimize the number of medications you take on a regular basis.

You are not limited by your genes.

Fortunately, most diseases are based primarily on epigenetics, which are environmental influences, and not on genetics. Epigenetics literally means above or around the gene. In epigenetics, lifestyle choices impact gene expression. Just because your first degree relatives may have had a disease, you are not predestined to follow suit.

We are specialists who will partner with your primary care physician.

A standard medical education does not integrate enough nutritional medicine and other lifestyle interventions. We bridge that gap.

We use evidence-based medicine to guide our decision-making.

The amount of research related to nutrition and other lifestyle issues continues to grow rapidly, with many studies showing significant beneficial effects on health.

Preventing and Reversing Chronic Conditions and Diseases Including:

Is disease reversal possible?

Absolutely! Study evidence has found this to be true, and many of our patients have experienced reversal of diabetes, autoimmune disorders, migraines, and cardiovascular disease, just to mention a few. In many cases, because of their exceptional results, our patients have been able to reduce or eliminate their medications.

For 42 Years WUSB Has Been Providing Non-Commercial Radio to Long Island

This summer WUSB 90.1 FM Stony Brook has marked 42 years of Long Island non-commercial college radio broadcast service. WUSB broadcasts originate from the campus of Stony Brook University. WUSB was originally an on-campus AM carrier-current student station from 1963 until receiving Federal Communications Commission (FCC) licensing for FM transmission in June 1977.

In 2017, WUSB acquired an additional frequency and can now be heard locally on 107.3 FM. WUSB participates as a part of the Nation’s Emergency Alert system.

WUSB’s purpose is to provide a community forum for innovative and commercialfree radio in the form of public service announcements, educational use, music of varied genres and cultures, community affairs and events, campus and local news, collegiate and national sports, and other student and community-oriented programming.

WUSB has succeeded due to the efforts of a supportive administration at Stony Brook University, as well as the students, staff, faculty, alumni and community volunteers who have provided creative and innovative radio programming to listeners on Long Island and in Southern Connecticut for over four decades.

WUSB has been guided by general manager Isobel Breheny-Schafer for the past 13 years. As the assistant director of student media in the Department of Student Engagement and Activities, Breheny-Schafer received the 2012 Woman in Communication Award from the Town of Brookhaven and in 2017 the College Media Association National four-year broadcast advisor award for her work managing and advising WUSB. In addition to a general manager, WUSB is managed by student directors. The 2019-2020 student directors include Robert Prentiss, program director; Christopher Greening, business manager; Abigail Houck, social media director; Michael Docus, music director; Vivica Michel, news director; and Gaetan Fleurentin, sports director.

Norman L. Prusslin, faculty member, aca-

demic director, board member of the Long Island Music Hall of Fame and general manager emeritus of 28 years, remains the faculty advisor to WUSB. Jeffery Barnett, Stony Brook University associate dean of students, chairs the WUSB University advisory board.

A notable fact this year is WUSB celebrates its longest serving volunteer. Jim Weiner has 50 years of service to the University and WUSB. He started with WUSB when it was an AM radio station. His dedication has helped keep WUSB funded and he also manages our Emergency Alert System. He is a radio host for Sunday Classics and Jazz on the Air. Since WUSB’s “sign on” over 40 years ago, over 2,000 campus and community volunteers have served as staff members; thousands of nationally acclaimed artists, musicians, newsmakers, public figures and educators have participated in live broadcasts; over 30,000 public service announcements have been aired; and tens of thousands of listeners have enjoyed quality, commercial-free, thought-provoking, inspired and creative radio programs.

WUSB radio is a full power, 3,600-watt FM radio station licensed by the FCC to the State University of New York board of trustees and operated by volunteer staff, students, alumni and community members. The studios of WUSB 90.1 FM are housed within the West Side Dining Kelly building on the University campus, transmitting its signal from a tower located at Bald Hill in Farmingville.

WUSB Stony Brook can be heard on Long Island and the surrounding areas on your FM radio at 90.1 and 107.3 and all over the world on the internet via www.wusb.fm.

Wolfie the Seawolf is the fun-loving mascot who loves Stony Brook Athletics and promotes it around Stony Brook University and in the local community.

Wolfie has been a part of the Stony Brook family since 1995—just a year after the SBU varsity teams became known as the Seawolves.

The fourth nickname in Stony Brook history, Seawolves was selected from a list of more than 200 possible names by a 32-person committee comprising students, alumni, faculty and administrators.

There’s no doubt that Wolfie is a celebrity-he was the 2009 Three Village Sportsman of the Year and a finalist for Best Mascot in the Long Island Press Best of Long Island 2011, 2012 and 2013 contests. He was also featured in the 2011 ESPN College Gameday commercial with fellow collegiate mascots and has marched in New York City’s Columbus Day Parade. Wolfie’s favorite activities are cheering at Stony Brook games and having fun with SBU fans of all ages.

You can find Wolfie cheering for the Seawolves student-athletes wherever he goes. Be sure to say “hi” to Wolfie when you see him out and about. He’s always happy to see you and greet Seawolves fans with a friendly high five or a hearty hug.

Although he’s very busy at Stony Brook, Wolfie enjoys making special appearances at lots of events, like birthday parties, reunions, corporate events, charity events, fairs, festivals and more. If Wolfie comes to your special event, you can be sure it will be fun, exciting and memorable.

Please give Wolfie at least two weeks’ advance

Following a historic 2018-19 season, Stony Brook University’s athletic teams have claimed the Stuart P. Haskell, Jr. Commissioner’s Cup for the first time in school history. The announcement was made in June at the annual America East awards dinner. University at Albany came in second place followed by UMass Lowell in third.

The Commissioner’s Cup annually recognizes the strongest athletic program in America East as determined by a scoring system which rewards a school for success both during the regular season and championship competition in the conference’s 18 sports.

• Stony Brook is just the fourth America East school to win the Commissioner’s Cup (UAlbany, Boston University, Delaware).

• Stony Brook tied a conference record by winning six regular season titles in 2018-19, a feat only matched by Boston University in 2010-11.

• The Seawolves also won three conference championships and had a pair of runner-up finishes.

• The Seawolves had a top two finish in all five of its fall sports in the league.

• The program surged to the finish at the end, securing three regular season titles in the spring and backing it up with two tournament titles.

• After trailing by one point in the fall season, Stony Brook became the first school other than UAlbany to lead the standings after the winter season.

Explore the Italian Language and Culture The Center for Italian Studies Fall 2019 Programs

Since its establishment in 1985, the Center for Italian Studies has become an integral part of the Italian and Italian American community on Long Island as a provider of activities that meet both the expectations of a research University and the cultural interests of the community.

The Center’s mission, from its outset, has been to build a cultural bridge with the community through events that both reveal the effects of an enriching Italian cultural heritage and reflect the contributions and impact of Italian Americans on the historical evolution of our country.

Those already familiar with the Center’s events are aware of its programs, which are richly diverse in both format and topics. The Center’s staff hopes the fall 2019 preliminary calendar noted below continues to stimulate interest and ongoing participation on the part of such groups, and, at the same time, clearly extends an invitation to all to explore and join in on the spirit of “italianita” being generated by its programs for both campus and community.

The Center for Italian Studies is in the Frank Melville Memorial Library, Fourth Floor, Room E4340. If you would like to visit the Center to familiarize yourself with its facilities and resources, please call 631-632-7444 or email josephine.fusco@stonybrook.edu.

Nationally Accredited Child Care Available to the Community Did you know that child care is available for your child on the Stony Brook University campus? Stony Brook Child Care is nationally accredited by the National Academy of Early Childhood Programs, which means the Center has voluntarily undergone a comprehensive process of internal self-study and invited external review to verify compliance with the academy’s criteria for high-quality early childhood programs.

The Center is open year-round Monday through Friday, 6:30 am to 6 pm, with various shifts available, and serves the local community as well as University, health sciences and hospital faculty staff and students.

The Center cares for and educates children from 8 weeks old to 3 years in the InfantToddler Program, and from 3 to 5 years in the Preschool program.

The primary aim is to provide a warm, supportive and creative atmosphere. Each room is “family-grouped,” enabling children to interact with others of different ages. Since children at this stage of their development learn by doing, there are plenty of hands-on activities to build a child’s self-reliance.

The Center is staffed by full-time professionals and assisted by part-time support staff and University students enrolled in the Psychology 488 Internship. Under the supervision of the staff, the students work closely with the teachers in the classroom and attend weekly training. Students who have completed the internship are often invited to work as parttime support staff. The child-teacher ratio in the 3-to-5 year-old preschool program is 7 to 1; the Infant-Toddler program ages 2 months to 3 years, is 4 to 1.

The Stony Brook Child Care Mission Statement is that Stony Brook Child Care is an early childhood education center that fosters learning, creativity and individuality in children while serving as a teaching model. We embrace diversity, value our highly qualified staff, and cultivate partnerships among our families, staff, board of directors and community. We support the University’s missions by providing educational experiences, research opportunities and service to the community.

For more details on the Center’s facilities and pricing or to arrange a tour, please visit stony brook.edu/childcare.

Discover a Dinosaur

You don’t have to travel to New York City to see a dinosaur. There is one right in the lobby of Stony Brook University’s Administration Building — the Majungasaurus crenatissimus.

The exact replica of this Cretaceous Period meat eater is patched together from specimens unearthed in Madagascar by a team of Stony Brook University paleontologists. The skeleton has even acquired a nickname: “Stony Bones.” Viewing of the dinosaur is free.

Hours are Monday to Friday, 8:30 am to 5 pm.

Visit the Career Center to Find Your New Employee or Volunteer The Career Center at SBU helps companies in the community connect with students and alumni for jobs, internships and volunteer opportunities. Its job posting and recruiting system, Handshake, offers free online job/internship listings that can reach more than 350 colleges and universities. The Center also offers recruitment fairs, private rooms for employers to conduct interviews, and hosts presentations for employers to present their career opportunities.

Just a few of Handshake’s notable features: 1. A one-stop shop for employers: you can manage all schools using Handshake with one account.

2. Employers can search student profiles and resumes to connect with potential candidates.

(Students self-select whether or not they would like their profiles or resumes to be searchable by employers.)

3. A mobile app, so both students and employers can use the system on the go.

4. Easy-to-use, intuitive interface (built on the same usability principles employed by Facebook and Google.)

To create or access an existing Handshake account, visit stonybrook.joinhandshake.com.

There are several ways for employers to brand themselves on campus, through participation in career education events, our award-winning diversity recruiting programs, partnerships with faculty, and student club presentations.

The Center’s Partnership Council offers the opportunity to sponsor Career Center activities while building name recognition with the Stony Brook University community. If you would like to know more about these opportunities, please call the Career Center at 631- 632-6810 or visit stonybrook.edu/career.

ADULT DAY HEALTH CARE

Caring for a physically or cognitively impaired family member at home 24 hours a day, seven days a week can be one of life’s most difficult challenges. Whether you are a spouse or a caregiver, the Adult Day Health Care program at LISVH may be a welcome solution. Participants in the Adult Day Health Care program receive the skilled nursing care they require while continuing to live at home. Adult Day Health Care permits caregivers to meet professional and family obligations or take a well-deserved rest while their loved one attends the program.

Our Adult Day Health Care program provides our participants with:

• door-to-door transportation • delicious and nutritious meals • care for the body, mind and soul — medical, nursing, rehabilitation, psychosocial, recreational, nutritional, spiritual and personal needs • comprehensive medical, nursing and personal care services — skilled nursing care, monitoring of health conditions and administering medications by our licensed nursing staff

• assistance with personal hygiene, including bathing and grooming • monthly visits from a certified therapy dog Cost Advantage: The Long Island State Veterans Home is the best economical decision for veterans requiring skilled nursing care or adult day health care.

Veterans residing at the Long Island State Veterans Home may be eligible for special Federal and State entitlements: 1. Honorably discharged veterans are eligible to a federal per diem benefit that will help offset the cost of nursing home care ($109.73/day), as well as, adult day health care ($87.42) if the veteran is paying out-of-pocket.

2. Veterans who quality for the aid and attendance (A&A) benefit for nursing home care will receive an enhanced A&A benefit of $ 733/month compared to only $90/month in a non-State Veterans Home.

3. Any veteran who has a 70 percent or greater service-connected rated disability and requires skilled nursing care or adult day health care in entitled to receive “no cost” care at a State Veterans Home. The VA will pay the full cost of these services at the Long Island State Veterans Home for any veteran with a 70 percent or greater serviceconnected rated disability.

The Long Island State Veterans Home’s Eighteenth Annual Golf Classic will be held on Thursday, September 19 at the Willow Creek Golf and Country Club in Mt. Sinai, New York.
