Stony Brook University has earned four “Bethpage Best of LI 2013” designations by readers of the Long Island Press in the newspaper’s eighth annual Best of LI competition. Winners in the Education category were announced in the January 10 issue.
Long Island Press readers cast more than 1.2 million votes and chose, for the second consecutive year, Stony Brook University as the Best Long Island College or University; Samuel L. Stanley Jr., MD, as the Best College President and the Athletic Department for the Best College Sports Program, which includes the “team that shocked the world,” Stony Brook Seawolves baseball and its deep run into the 2012 NCAA College World Series. Earning a number one spot for this first time this year is Stony Brook Child Care Services winning in the Best Day Care and Learning Center categories. Stony Brook University Hospital, Best Hospital category, and Wolfie, Best Mascot category, both finished second in the voting, respectively.
