| In Memoriam | |
 | Brooke M. Ellison, PhD, MPP Former Director We are deeply saddened by the loss of our friend and faculty member, Dr. Brooke Ellison, who passed away on February 4, 2024 from complications of quadriplegia at the age of 45. Dr. Ellison played a pivotal role in bringing advocacy and awareness to inclusive practices and rights for those with disabilities. Her steadfast work was evidenced in the breadth and depth of her teaching and research, and her partnerships with the community, both here at Stony Brook, and beyond. While she may no longer be with us, we know that Dr. Ellison's contributions will continue to have an impact on the world. |
 | Carlos Vidal, PhD A two-time Stony Brook alumnus, Dr. Vidal was deeply committed to his alma mater. He earned his bachelor’s degree in social welfare in 1976 and his Master of Social Work from Stony Brook University. He received his Doctor of Social Work and PhD degrees from the Graduate School of Social Services at Fordham University, specializing in child welfare research. Throughout his career, Dr. Vidal was steadfastly committed to the importance of community engagement and involvement, leading to his founding of the Collaborative of Community Engagement and Leadership Development, where he served as Associate Dean. He initiated groundbreaking community-based work, such as the multi-location academic readiness program and a distracted-driving awareness curriculum, which remains active, and he was instrumental in starting the Stony Brook University food pantry, which was one of the first in the country to provide food items for food-insecure students, staff and faculty on a University campus. |
