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 non-medical needs of their patients.”

From the university president ...

Stony Brook University is pleased to take this opportunity to keep the community informed of the wide variety of programs and events we offer to our neighbors. In addition to our mission to educate the best and brightest students and to provide cutting-edge health and dental care, we continue to develop innovative programs and services to respond to the needs of the Long Island community.

We will soon be expanding our healthcare offerings to better serve our younger patients and their families. The new Hospital Pavilion, currently under construction to house our growing Stony Brook Children’s Hospital, celebrated its “topping off” in July as the last beam was put in place at the new facility. The Children’s Hospital, which will have 100 beds and occupy two stories of a new 10-story Hospital Pavilion, is slated to open in 2016.

Also in July, we celebrated the opening of our state-of-the-art Computer Science Building. The addition of this 70,000-square-foot facility will accelerate the University’s growth in collaborative research in the fields of bioinformatics, smart energy, cyber engineering, physical sciences and biomedicine. The facility is home to 18 research labs and five innovative research centers — the National Security Institute, Center for Dynamic Data Analytics, Center for Mobile Computing, Center for Smart Energy and Center for Visual Computing.

Our athletics teams are gearing up for a

great fall season. Sports fans of all ages come to Kenneth P. LaValle Stadium to cheer on our soccer, lacrosse and football teams. Join us at our home football games, begining September 12, when the Stadium parking lot transforms into Seawolves Town, featuring family fun, food and live music. And on October 17, we celebrate our annual Wolfstock with a homecoming football game versus the Towson Tigers.

Stony Brook University is a center of academic excellence and a vital resource for Long Island. It is also the premier destination in Suffolk for arts and entertainment.

The Staller Center for the Arts offers the best in music, theater, dance and cinema. It also hosts one of the most prominent independent film festivals every July. The Charles B. Wang Center is another cultural showplace, featuring unique Asian and Asian American exhibits, lectures and performances.

Art is always on display in the Wang Center lobbies and in the Paul W. Zuccaire Gallery in the Staller Center for the public to enjoy.

We welcome the community to attend the many fascinating special events we host, covering a broad range of topics, at both our Stony Brook and Southampton campuses.

For example, on September 18, we will be welcoming Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, Executive Director of UN Women, who will join me for a discussion on the UN’s HeForShe solidarity movement for gender equality. Stony Brook joined the HeForShe movement in June and is now one of 10

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 third 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 January, 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.

Having fun at Stony Brook University

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 Memorial 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 Bicycle Path. The six-mile 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.

The 20 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, visit www.stonybrook.edu.

Bridges Throughout the campuses of Stony Brook University, art is everywhere. Paintings, sculptures, photographs and multimedia installations are featured in the university’s many galleries. The community is always welcome.

Art among science The gallery in the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics is open to the public Monday to Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. It features installations from artists from all over the world. For more information on the next gallery show or to be added to the center’s mailing list, visit www.scgp.stonybrook.edu.

This September, the Simons Center Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition of work by Manfred Mohr, an internationally acclaimed pioneer of digital art. This exhibition is honored to feature Mohr’s early digital drawings produced at Brookhaven National Laboratory

by Peter Kemmey in 1969. The gallery will show several of these early works produced at Brookhaven National Laboratory alongside newer work. The exhibit runs from Sept. 10 through Nov. 12. Mohr will be speaking at the opening of the exhibit on Thursday, Sept. 10, at 4 p.m.

The Simons Center features art not just in the gallery, but also all around the building, inside and out. Outside the entrance to the center is the Umbilic Torus, a sculpture by artist Helaman Ferguson, which represents a fusion of mathematics and art. Inside the lobby, one wall features the work of Toby Buonagurio, professor of art at Stony Brook University. The artwork is titled “Earth, Air, Fire, Water” and is composed of 11 enormous, unique, handmade, glazed and lustered sculptural relief ceramic butterflies. Also on display in the center’s lobby is the “Iconic Wall.” The wall was engraved in limestone with key mathematical equations and diagrams.

Student perspectives The Student Activities Center Art Gallery, located on the first floor, is a place where students can directly participate in creative, artistic and community projects. Students are encouraged to submit work for various art shows and actively engage in gallery events, music performances, lectures and presentations. It’s a showcase for the talented campus community.

Experience Asia without leaving Stony Brook: 2015 Wang Center cultural offerings

The Charles B. Wang Center is dedicated to presenting the public with a multifaceted, intellectually sound and humane understanding of Asian and Asian American cultures, and their relationship to other cultures.

The Wang Center serves as a conference facility and venue for cultural events, offering lectures, workshops, films, gallery shows, festivals and more. The center offers dozens of events each semester. Please visit their website for the upcoming fall schedule or to sign up for the mailing list at www.stonybrook.edu/wang.

“Our programs offer visitors the opportunity to traverse great distances and leap across time as they experience places from ancient China to medieval Japan to contemporary Singapore,” explains Jinyoung Jin, associate director for cultural programs, Wang Center.

Learn, for example, through the Origami Heaven exhibition and accompanying workshops and lectures that the Japanese art of origami is no longer considered to be only a children’s craft, but in fact influences science, mathematics and high fashion. Commemorate the end of World War II and mark the 50th anniversary of the independence of Singapore through an exhibition of the works of artist Ren Zi and a performance by Verena Tay. Broadening and deepening this Asian cultural journey this fall, the Charles B. Wang Center is providing a one-of-a-kind people’s exhibition titled “Explore History: Objects from Asia” that gives you, our member community, the opportunity to exhibit family stories and artifacts.

Included among these objects will be a grandmother’s Masala brick from India, tiger balm from Singapore and a Japanese beer poster made in the 1930s. The Center will also explore Asian culinary history through chopsticks and celebrate Halloween by presenting stories of tricksters from Southeast Asia. During the time of traditional harvest festivals, the Center will resonate with the harmonized rhythms of the Beat to the Moon drum festival.

Please call 631-632-4400 or email wangcenter@stonybrook. edu with any questions.

SPRING 2016 Exhibitions March 10 to June 4, 2016, Mark Edward Harris: In Asia; Space Drawings by Sun K. Kwak

The Center for Multilingual and Intercultural Communication (MIC) is one of the newest centers on campus, now in its second year of operation. Founded by Agnes He, professor of applied linguistics and Asian and Asian American Studies, the center was conceptualized to create much-needed synergy among the many faculty across campus whose work contributes to various dimensions of multilingual and intercultural communication.

MIC is an interdisciplinary research center where applied linguists, linguists, psychologists, communication scholars, education specialists and scholars of allied disciplines explore multilingual repertoires as rich resources in the context of global mobility and technological advancement.

It is a place where curious minds are brought together to confront the communication challenges of the contemporary multilingual world, where interdisciplinary thinking is the norm, where cross-departmental, cross-disciplinary research leads to better understandings of how globalization, immigration and other events transform language behaviors and socio-cultural practices. It started with a simple belief that the power to change the world for the better lies in our willingness and ability to communicate with one another more effectively.

As part of its mission, the Center is proud to announce that it is the home for a newly awarded $1 million NSF-funded project titled “Communication in the Global University: A Longitudinal Study of Language Adaptation at Multiple Timescales in Native- and Non-Native Speakers.” While the goal of the project is to measure, track and improve both International Teaching Assistants’ developing communication skills in English and undergraduates’ understanding of foreignaccented English, the findings will be applicable to any situation involving intercultural communication, and the resulting data will provide an unprecedented opportunity for scientists to examine long-term effects in foreign language learning, language processing and the development of communicative strategies. The project is a collaboration among faculty in psychology, linguistics, math, and applied mathematics and statistics.

In addition to its many ongoing research projects, MIC will continue its Distinguished Lecture Series this fall. On Friday, Nov. 13, Loraine K. Obler, Distinguished Professor in the Programs for Speech Language Hearing Sciences and Linguistics at the CUNY Graduate Center, will discuss “Bilingual Executive Control in Avoiding Language Mixing Despite Brain Damage.” Location and time to be announced.

Get your grid on Catch football fever

If you’re looking for family-friendly entertainment, head to Kenneth P. LaValle Stadium at Stony Brook University this fall and catch the SBU football team in action in its second year in the CAA Conference.

Chuck Priore is entering his 10th season as head coach and is looking forward to a great year. The team recently added defensive tackle Ryan Sloan to the roster for the 2015 season as a graduate student. Sloan, who attended Bellport High School in East Patchogue, joins the Seawolves after spending the past four years at Syracuse.

The team kicks off its season on Sept. 3, in Toledo, Ohio, before returning for its first home game on Sept.

12 vs. Central Connecticut. And if you can’t make it in person to all the games this season, you can catch four games on TV. The Seawolves will host New Hampshire on Sept. 19 at 7 p.m. on the American Sports Network (ASN) and will welcome Elon on Oct. 31 at noon to be broadcast on ASN. Stony Brook will also appear on the NBC Regional Sports Network/Comcast Sportsnet (CSN) twice. The network will carry both the Seawolves’ Sept. 26 game at William & Mary at 7:30 p.m. and the Oct. 3 trip to James Madison at 12 p.m.

Of course, the best way to experience Seawolves football is in person. Season tickets cost only $85 per seat ($75 per seat if you buy four or more). That’s a real bargain when you compare it with the price of professional sports tickets. Visit stonybrookathletics.com or call 631-632-4513 for more ticket information.

New for 2015! Welcome to Seawolves Town Stony Brook Athletics has transformed what is currently the stadium lot on the east side of LaValle Stadium into “Seawolves Town,” which will be the prime tailgating location during Seawolves football game days.

“There are few events that can bring a campus and community together like football game day, and Seawolves Town will be the place to be as we showcase a new tailgating experience that will be unlike any on Long Island,” said Stony Brook Director of Athletics Shawn Heilbron. “Seawolves Town will feature music, interactive events and a team walk before the game.

Our priority is to create a big-time college football atmosphere where the energy and excitement around LaValle Stadium gets everyone fired up to cheer on the Seawolves.”

Seawolves Town will provide Stony Brook fans with the opportunity to reserve their own parking space for the entire season and team up with friends to create their own first-class Seawolves football experience.

Seawolves Town will also feature carnival games, facepainters, balloon artists, inf latables and much more. It will make its debut on Saturday, Sept. 12, when Stony Brook opens the 2015 football home schedule against Central Connecticut at 6 p.m. Parking spaces are limited so call 631-632-WOLF to reserve your spot today!

Wolfie the Seawolf is the fun-loving mascot who loves Stony Brook athletics and promotes them 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 SB history, “Seawolves” was selected from a list of more than 200 possible names by a 32-person committee of students, alumni, faculty and administrators.

There’s no doubt that Wolfie is a celebrity — he was the 2009 The Village Times Herald Sportsman of the Year and a finalist for Best Mascot in the Long Island Press “Best of Long Island” 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 contests. He was also featured in the 2011 ESPN College Gameday commercial with fellow collegiate mascots and 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 greet Seawolves fans with a friendly high five or a hearty hug.

Stay in touch with Wolfie all year. Check out the links below to visit the social network of your choice — then follow or become a fan.

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 Services Center 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 Monday through Friday, 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., with various shifts available, and serves the local community as well as university, health sciences and hospital faculty, staff and students.

The center is staffed by full-time professionals and assisted by part-time support staff and university students enrolled in the Psychology 448 Internship. Under the supervision of the staff, these carefully selected students work closely with the teachers in the classroom and attend weekly training. One of the ways the center supports a low child-to-adult ratio is to invite students who have completed these courses with high marks to work as part-time support staff. The child-teacher ratio in the 3- to 5-year-old program is 7-to-1; the infant-toddler program is 4-to-1.

The center’s 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 cares for children from 8 weeks to 3 years in the infant-toddler program, and from 3 to 5 years in the preschool program.

For more details on the center’s facilities and pricing or to arrange a tour, please visit www.stonybrook.edu/childcare.

Stony Brook Child Care Services Center is located on the Stony Brook campus near Stony Brook Road and offers children outdoor and indoor play spaces.

Sharing the love of music through community programs

Enrichment is at the core of Stony Brook University’s Community Music Program, characterized by a commitment to education, accessibility and community.

These programs are designed for all ages, from children to adults, and offer access to conservatory-level music instruction from one of the nation’s premier collegiate training grounds. With stellar faculty and resources, the Community Music Program is equipped to broaden your musical skills, showcase your musical growth and above all, instill a lifelong love for music.

The Community Music Program at Stony Brook University has grown to encompass all age groups and levels of musical experience. If your child is interested in music, check out these offerings or call the Department of Music at 631-867-2220 or email communitymusic@stonybrook.edu with your questions. More details are available on the web at www.stonybrook.edu/sbcmp.

• Music Basics for Kids (4-year-olds) With a focus on fun and exploration, Music Basics for Kids immerses preschoolers in games and exercises for a holistic learning experience.

Children will absorb musical basics, such as pitch, rhythm and notation, through activities involving movement and singing.

• Dalcroze Eurhythmics Levels I and II (Kindergarten to third grade) Imagination and creativity underline the Dalcroze method, in which children will use expressive movement as a way to listen for and understand musical concepts. This method uses spontaneity, improvisation and natural movement to help chil-

dren learn the elements of music in fun and engaging ways.

• Pre-College Division (sixth through 12th grades) The Pre-College Division is aimed at talented young musicians who are looking for exciting, new experiences to enrich their musical training. Students participate in chamber music performances and coachings, alongside a rich curriculum of creative and informative offerings. Students can try their hand at composition, delve into the complexities of music theory to better understand the master works, and develop their musical ears through aural skills courses. Not only will students emerge as stronger musicians, but they’ll also have a leg up on college applications.

• Adult Amateurs The Community Music Program’s chamber music workshop is designed for adult amateur musicians, providing a place for them to come together to make music in a supportive and enriching environment.

Participants are placed in well-matched ensembles based on level and interest, and meet with a coach for five 90-minute sessions in preparation for an informal concert in the Staller Recital Hall. Two eightweek sessions per academic year; ability to read music is required.

Tuition assistance is available for qualified applicants. For registration and audition information, email communitymusic@stonybrook.edu, call 631-632-7313 or visit www.stonybrook.edu/sbcmp.

Stony Brook University’s School of Professional Development administers the program. Membership is required ($325 for the year), and interested individuals can apply online. The membership fee covers the academic year, September through June, and includes registration in workshops for fall, spring and summer semesters; a monthly news-

letter; special planned events and trips; and access to library facilities at Stony Brook. OLLI members have also produced their own literary journal, nicollsroad. The first two issues are available on the OLLI website.

The fall 2015 schedule of workshops is now online.

• Friday, Dec. 4, 8 p.m., Garnet Rogers Garnet Rogers has been proclaimed by Sing Out! magazine as “the greatest interpreter and vocalist performing on the contemporary folk scene.”

Stony Brook is HeForShe Earlier this summer, Stony Brook University President Samuel L. Stanley Jr., M.D., announced that he has joined the United Nations Women’s HeForShe solidarity movement as an IMPACT 10x10x10 champion, making SBU one of 10 universities around the world — and only two in the United States — committing to take bold game-changing action to achieve gender equality within and beyond their institutions. This work will be done in partnership with UN Women, the United Nations entity dedicated to gender equality and the empowerment of women. HeForShe’s IMPACT 10x10x10 program engages 30 key leaders across three sectors: the public sector, private sector and academia. All 30 IMPACT champions have made common commitments and have also developed tailored commitments, formally reviewed by an expert team at UN Women and approved personally by the executive director of UN Women, Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka.

SBU will champion three core areas to drive progress on gender

equality and will serve as a leader and advocate within the system on these important issues, inviting other colleges and universities to take up common commitments.

The three core areas of commitment are: • Close the gap between men and women — from matriculation to graduation.

• Use SBU’s Center for the Study of Men and Masculinities to build global understanding of the role for men in achieving gender equality.

• Integrate gender equality into the academic and social experience of SBU. SBU has also committed to developing and implementing a gender sensitization curriculum for students, faculty and staff, including a mandatory orientation for all new students, along with programs that will address gender-based violence.

It has agreed to meet frequently with other IMPACT champions, to transparently measure and report on progress, to share best practices and to engage other universities to take

up this cause.

SBU and Georgetown University are the only two American universities selected to be IMPACT schools.

The other eight university champions are The University of Hong Kong, University of Leicester in the UK, Nagoya University in Japan, Oxford University in England, Sciences Po in France, University of São Paulo in Brazil, University of Waterloo in Canada and University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa.

Other IMPACT champions include the heads of state of Iceland, Indonesia, Ireland, Finland, Japan, Malawi, Romania, Rwanda and Sweden. Corporate IMPACT champions include Accor Hotels, Barclays, Koc Holding, McKinsey & Company, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Schneider Electric, Tupperware Brands, Unilever and Vodafone.

Throughout the year, SBU will look for ways to champion gender equality on campus and beyond.

Look for how you can participate in this commitment by visiting www.stonybrook.edu/heforshe.

The lectures are grouped into four categories: Astronomy Open Night (usually the first Friday of the month), The Worlds of Physics (second Friday of the month), Geology Open Night (third Friday of the month) and The Living World (fourth Friday of the month). Depending on faculty availability, the schedule may not always follow the usual monthly order. Faculty speak on aspects of their expertise, research or a topic of public interest.

All lectures are held in Room 001 (ground floor) of the Earth and Space Sciences (ESS) Building at 7:30 p.m. The lectures are growing in popularity, so please arrive early to get a good seat. Weather permitting, viewing using the university’s telescopes on the roof of the ESS building will follow the lectures.

Teachers take note: It may be possible to get in-service credit for any or all of these lectures, as well as for related geology programs. Visit the website and follow the in-service link for more details.
