Greetings Alumni,
I hope this message finds you all well and happily embarking on a new year. I have had the pleasure of engaging with some of you over the past few months at alumni events in DC and NYC. It is always a pleasure to learn about your journey since leaving Hofstra Law and the ways we can best serve the alumni community overall.
We hope you will be able to join us in the coming months for a few events, the annual BLSA Alumni Brunch at the Hofstra University Club or the 10th Anniversary Celebration of the Hofstra Center for Intellectual Property Law to be held in New York City. Connecting with former classmates and making new connections are great reasons to attend these events. Additionally, it will be an opportunity for you to meet Dean Roberts, if you haven’t done so already.
As always, we want to be certain we are contacting you with relevant information and various opportunities to connect with fellow alumni at events. If you would prefer to receive alumni emails at a different email 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. We always appreciate hearing from you.
All the best,
Charmise Woodside-Desiré
Director of Alumni Relations and Annual Giving
