Greetings Alumni,
As the excitement for graduation rises in the corridors, we are thrilled to see so many students working diligently in preparation for finals. We are also making preparations across the school to welcome our new Law School Dean, Jenny Roberts, who will join us on July 1, 2024. It indeed is an exciting time at Hofstra Law. To learn more about Dean Roberts, read the official school announcement here.
On Thursday, June 13, we hope you will join us for our signature alumni appreciation event, Home to Hofstra Law & Reunion. In addition to welcoming ALL ALUMNI back to campus, we look forward to celebrating this year’s milestone reunion years: ’74 (50th), ’84 (40th), ’94 (30th), ’04 (20th), and ’14 (10th). It will be a great opportunity to engage, connect and reminisce with former classmates and members of the Hofstra Law community. It will also be a special moment to welcome the Class of 2024 as they take a study break to join us for their first Hofstra Law alumni event. Be sure to sign up today!
Hope to see you soon.

Director of Alumni Relations and Annual Giving
We Need Your Help to Reach This Challenge Goal!
Hofstra Law alumni Valerie ’90 and Mark ’89 Seelig, who have long supported our institution’s commitment to excellence, have stepped forward with a transformative challenge. They have pledged to donate $100,000 to support law student scholarships with the hope that their fellow alumni and friends will collectively contribute $50,000 to any fund of their choice within the Law School.
This is a remarkable opportunity for the Law School community to come together and demonstrate the collective power of our support. Please help us reach our goal!
