• Thanks to a team at the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, the Shinnecock Bay is now recognized as a new global Hope Spot by Mission Blue. Hope Spots are iconic ocean regions that stand out as some of the most pristine on the globe. (Stony Brook University via Facebook)
• The Stony Brook Soccer Club mourns the passing of one of its former and much-loved soccer coaches Sean Layden. He was with the team for nearly 10 years and not only bought a great passion for the game but also a kind, caring, and fun nature that made so many of the children in the community fall in love with the sport.
