Greetings Alumni,
It was a joy to celebrate with this year’s graduating class last week as they crossed over to become Hofstra Law’s newest alums. With so many exciting job opportunities, record breaking public service hours, and the promise of a bright future, the Class of 2024 is definitely making their mark.
With over 100 alumni currently signed up from 37 class years, we are looking forward to creating new memories with you at this year’s Home to Hofstra Law & Reunion on Thursday, June 13. 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 chance to network and establish new connections, as well as sharing memories with past classmates and the Hofstra Law community. As the Class of 2024 takes a study break to join us for their first Hofstra Law alumni gathering, it will also be a momentous occasion to welcome them.
Don’t miss out on this special event!
Hope to see you June 13.

Alumni Spotlight
Antonio Palmieri ’20 Discusses Following His Passion into Sports and Entertainment Law
Antonio Palmieri ’20, Manager of Fighter Operations at Overtime Boxing, has always had an interest in sports. “I played sports growing up and originally wanted to be an agent,” he says. “But sports are hard to get into and being an attorney gave me options. Everyone in sports deals with lawyers and going to law school would give me a leg up on the competition.”
