Greetings Alumni,
I hope this message finds you well and thriving.
We are working diligently with various campus partners on a few special events to create an opportunity for you to gather with fellow alumni, students, and members of the Hofstra Law community. Over the next few weeks, you will get reminders about these events that we hope you will be able to attend and have an opportunity to meet Dean Jenny Roberts, if you haven’t done so already. See details and links to RSVP in the events section of this newsletter.
We are full speed ahead in planning the annual Home to Hofstra Law and Reunion event which will be held on Thursday, June 12, 2025 at 6:00pm on Hofstra’s campus. As we gather for this signature alumni event, we will pause to celebrate milestone reunions for all class years that end in 0 and 5, with a special toast for the 50th and 25th reunion years. We are looking for reunion class ambassadors, so please contact me if you’d like to assist us in making sure your class is strongly represented at this year’s event.
Whether you’re near or far, we want to celebrate your career highlights and life accomplishments. If you would prefer to receive alumni emails at a different email address, please be sure to email us at lawalum@hofstra.edu. Thank you for being such an important part of the Hofstra Law community.
All the best,
Charmise Woodside-Desiré
