Student Leadership and Engagement

The Office of Student Leadership and Engagement (OSLE) enhances the co-curricular life of the Hofstra community and helps students become more involved. We encourage students to participate in the many clubs, organizations, fraternities, sororities, leadership development programs, and campus-wide events that are available to them. The best way to become a well-rounded student is to get involved! There are hundreds of conferences, lectures, workshops, cultural programs, seminars, concerts, dance parties, and social events that take place at Hofstra each semester. In addition, there are more than 220 student clubs and organizations on campus.

With such a wide variety of campus offerings, all your student needs is the motivation and desire to get involved. Being involved helps students more fully enjoy their college experience while they develop valuable leadership, organizational, and communication skills.

Clubs and Organizations

OSLE advises the Student Government Association (SGA) and more than 220 student clubs and organizations at Hofstra. Staff provide guidance on how to run a successful program. For OSLE policies, procedures, and forms, visit hofstra.edu/osle. Students may log in to GetInvolvedHU through My Apps

in the Hofstra portal, which lists all the Hofstra clubs and organizations. At New Student Orientation, OSLE will introduce students to the CorqApp, a mobile-friendly

version of the GetInvolvedHU platform, and the EventPass system, which students can use to check in to all major events on campus.

Fraternity and Sorority Life

Fraternity and sorority life at Hofstra provides an inclusive environment that challenges members to develop into leaders who uphold the values, oaths, and commitments of their collegiate fraternities and sororities at Hofstra. Fraternities and sororities forge and maintain relationships with alumni, volunteers, campus administrators, and the surrounding community. They create meaningful and purposeful experiences that foster a commitment to philanthropy, brotherhood/sisterhood, and lifetime membership. For more information on fraternities and sororities at Hofstra, visit hofstra.edu/greeklife.

Intercultural Engagement and Inclusion

The Intercultural Engagement and Inclusion staff works closely with students, faculty, and administrators to develop programs and initiatives that allow members of the campus community to explore their identity, enhance intercultural competence, and develop skills to build an inclusive campus climate. In addition to coordinating cultural-themed programs and the

Identities@Hofstra programming series, the staff is responsible for planning and implementing cultural awareness and diversity education programming for the community at Hofstra. This includes programming focused on all marginalized communities and faith-based awareness and advocacy. For more information, visit hofstra.edu/iei.

OSLE offers leadership retreats and workshops for students who want to develop their skills and engage in co-curricular experiences. Some of the programs offered are the Blue & Gold Leadership Cohorts, peer mentoring opportunities and Lead with Pride skills series.
