Dean of Students

The Office of the Dean of Students oversees the Wellness Team and fosters an inclusive environment that encourages holistic student engagement, development, and success both inside and outside the classroom for every undergraduate and graduate student. (Please note that students in the Deane School of Law and Zucker School of Medicine have their own student support offices.) We develop and provide programs and services that assist in creating a strong campus community in which people from all cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives feel welcomed and celebrated. We encourage students to become active citizens of Hofstra, the local community, and the world.

The Dean of Students Office promotes responsible and ethical decision-making that demonstrates integrity and respect for oneself and others. The office assists current students in managing their time at Hofstra and understanding the expectations and community standards they are required to uphold as they navigate their educational pathway. We advocate for students and serve as administrative allies as they explore social, academic, and extracurricular engagement on campus. Our team helps students when they encounter obstacles, providing support and resources to help them succeed.

The Dean of Students Office is located in Room 240 Mack Student Center, North Campus, and can be reached at 516-463-6913.
