From the sunlight pouring through the window to the pastel rug and cushiony armchairs, stepping into Oren Shefet's office is a breath of fresh air. The bright, welcoming room is complete with vibrant bookshelves filled from end to end, handmade gifts from former patients such as a square clock that reads 'whatever' with jumbled numbers in the corner, and several paintings and novelties depicting Sigmund Freud, the neurologist famed for revolutionizing the field of psychology in the early 20th century.

"I'm very glad to be back at Stony Brook," says Shefet, associate director, Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS). "This was the first place that gave me a job post-graduation, and it's really exciting to return in a leadership role. I am extremely committed to the social justice mission of this university, and I'm committed to serving students in a way that fits them best as unique individuals."
