President's Welcome

Dear Hofstra Student:  

If you are a new student, welcome to Hofstra! And if you are a returning student, welcome back! We are excited to be together again at Hofstra for the 2025-2026 academic year. 

The faculty, staff, and administration at Hofstra University are dedicated to your academic and personal success. Your classes will expand your mind and your horizons, and the many ways to engage on campus will offer opportunities to pursue your interests and develop new ones. Hofstra provides a diverse and inclusive community in which to fulfill your potential and your ambition. 

This Guide to Pride is your essential companion, full of important information to help you navigate your career at Hofstra and prepare for the future. There are parts of this guide with which you should familiarize yourself immediately, such as our campus Honor Code and Code of Community Standards, and other parts that will serve as a useful reference throughout the year, depending on the circumstances. Even so, your questions about the Guide to Pride, or anything else, are always welcome, so never hesitate to ask.  

I look forward to seeing you on campus! 

Sincerely,
Susan Poser
President, Hofstra University
