(1)    Offered through the LIVESTRONG’s Pillars4Life program, this grant will support our Social Work Department, allowing us to offer a “virtual” support and education group, in order to reach as many cancer patients as possible. 

(2)    Offered through the LIVESTRONG’s Certification for Advanced Palliative Care, this grant will support the Stony Brook Survivorship and Supportive Care Program to help patients and their families cope with the difficult symptoms and other problems related to serious life-threatening illness. 

Visit these two sites through March 23 — voting is permitted only once per day — to help bring these programs to our community:

Alum Writes About Her Life in Alaska

Filed under: Alumni . Posted by editor on Thursday, March 15th, 2012 @ 10:58 am

Stony Brook alumna Mary Albanese (BA, ’77) went to Alaska to become a school teacher after graduation and ended up becoming an arctic geological explorer instead, mapping areas of Alaska that were uncharted at the time. Her new book, Midnight Sun, Arctic Moon:Mapping the Wild Heart of Alaska, tells the story of her adventure. Epicenter Press will release the book on May 15, 2012.

“It was during my Stony Brook undergraduate years (science teaching) that I came up with my plan to go north to Alaska,” said Albanese. She was inexplicably drawn to Alaska. After applying for teaching positions and not receiving any job offers, she bought a one-way ticket to Fairbanks anyway and found herself becoming a geological explorer.

Midnight Sun, Arctic Moon is the story of a life lived in extremes set against the beauty and harshness of Alaska. More than a memoir, it takes place during an important period in Alaska’s history, as the young state was still discovering itself.

A former geologist for the state of Alaska, Albanese is an author, artist and screenwriter. She has won numerous awards for her writing in a wide range of genres and has had one of her short films screened at Cannes Film Festival. A native of New York, Albanese resides in England with her husband Tom Albanese, who she met in Alaska.

What could be more AWESOME than an epic buzzer beater win for Stony Brook against Albany in the 2012 America East Tournament? Well, a few things:1. The win means that Stony Brook will bring the championship game home to our arena on Saturday when we will play Vermont at 11am (the game will be broadcast on ESPN 2, but there is nothing like being there! ticket info here)2. Dallis Joyner’s amazing game winning shot was the number one play on ESPN’s top ten plays of the week! Watch it – it is truly a sight to behold!Click to watch!3. Apparent in the proud Facebook statuses, tweets, and in conversations with students, staff and faculty alike, this is a huge moment for Stony Brook. Though we may not have been on the court playing, this is a win for our Stony Brook community, and the pride it has inspired in the community is readily apparent.Congratulations to the Men’s Basketball team on the amazing season!
