Hofstra University is proud to be the host of the third and final debate of the 2008 presidential campaign on October 15, 2008, produced by the non-partisan organization, the Commission for Presidential Debates. Hosting this debate gives our students and our community a unique insight into the presidential election and the issues important to the campaign.

Our university has a long history of hosting presidential conferences as well as important programs in law, political science, issues and the media. We are proud to host Educate '08, an unprecedented educational effort that will engage not only students and faculty but also the public in a year-long series of conferences, events and lectures. Our unique programs, such as the Peter S. Kalikow Center for the Study of the Presidency, the Center for Civic Engagement, the Hofstra Cultural Center and the National Center for Suburban Studies, are important partners in this series.

We invite you to explore everything Hofstra University and Educate '08 will bring to our university and our community this year.

Sincerely,
Stuart Rabinowitz
President
