The Office of Commuting Student Services and Community Outreach supports commuting students both academically and socially and promotes civic engagement through community service opportunities. The staff seeks to assist students in learning how to live safely, successfully, and independently in communities that surround the University, while fostering positive relationships with our community. All first-year commuting students are given the opportunity to be paired with a commuter peer mentor, whose role is to help new commuting students transition to life at Hofstra by serving as a knowledgeable resource and encouraging them to get involved on campus through clubs, organizations, community service, and on-campus employment.
The Office of Commuting Student Services and Community Outreach:
• Assesses the needs of the commuting student population.
• Encourages all students to get involved on campus through clubs and organizations, sports teams, intramurals, and student employment.
• Ensures that students are aware of University resources and facilitates access to all that Hofstra has to offer.
• Ensures – by way of the Commuter Student Association – that the commuting student voice is heard and recognized across all University departments.
• Provides information on the community and local resources.
• Creates partnerships with our community.
• Offers local grassroots community service opportunities such as Shake-A-Rake and Pride and Plant.
• Strives to address the needs of our surrounding community.
