Greetings Alumni,
The autumn season is upon us and we are embracing the vibrance of new students, new experiences and new opportunities to engage with alumni.
What a great way to kick off the semester than with an alumni networking reception for recent graduates within the past 15 years, including the newest Class of 2024, and hear remarks from Dean Jenny Roberts. With so many Hofstra Law alums across the globe, we are grateful for the richness of this network and the opportunity to reunite whenever possible. Visit this link to get a recap of this event and some memorable photos. Please look out for special alumni events in the coming months and an opportunity to meet Dean Roberts yourself, if you haven’t done so already.
In addition, there are other opportunities to partner with Hofstra Law: panels with student organizations in your practice area or affinity groups, opportunities to mentor a student in collaboration with the Office of Career Services, to name a few. We value your experience and the time invested to help students excel.
As always, our goal is to make sure you stay informed about what is happening at your alma mater. If you would like to receive these emails at a different address, please be sure to email us at lawalum@hofstra.edu as well as contacting us with any employment updates, special awards, or any significant milestones you would like to share with your Hofstra Law community.
I look forward to seeing you at some point in this academic year.
Warmest regards,
Charmise Woodside-Desiré
Director of Alumni Relations and Annual Giving
