The mission of the Hofstra University Parent and Family Council is to improve communication between the University and all family members of Hofstra students. We facilitate a nurturing environment where family members network, learn about Hofstra, and contribute to the academic and personal well-being of all students. We promote the University by being active ambassadors of Hofstra Pride.
This mission is fulfilled by:
Providing a forum for parents and families to share new ideas and suggestions for improving student programs and services, like writing for the Family Connection blog and communicating with other Hofstra families.
Serving as a resource to Hofstra families.
Supporting student and family programs through fundraising and volunteering.
Serving on parent panels for admission and alumni events.
Hosting regional Hofstra receptions.
Recruiting parent volunteers.
Hosting regular meetings for University administrators to share ideas with Parent and Family Council members.
The Hofstra University Parent and Family Council aspires to be the primary voice of all family members of Hofstra students. The council actively solicits input from family members of all class years and aims to fully reflect the diversity of the Hofstra Pride in its membership. We collaborate and engage with Hofstra administrators to fulfill the mission of the University in providing “a quality education to its students in an environment that encourages, nurtures, and supports learning through the free and open exchange of ideas, for the betterment of humankind.”
