Each year the Orientation and New Student Programs office recognizes the outstanding achievement and service of our students through the Freshman/Sophomore Recognition Awards. These awards are presented to selected students who maintain academic excellence, while being an active member of the Hofstra University community through co- and extracurricular involvement. Faculty and staff play a vital role in this process by nominating students whom they feel are outstanding, both inside and outside the classroom.
Nominees must:

  • Be enrolled in classes at the University as a full-time undergraduate student
  • Be achieving a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher
  • Be actively involved with the campus community
  • Have between 12 and 58 credits earned
  • Not be on current judicial sanction

The three recipients of this award will receive a $100 gift certificate and a commemorative plaque.
