Did You Know?

Each incoming class is assigned one of the four class colors (red, yellow, blue, green) that are rotated every four years. The Class of 2016 class color is red! The image of the lion on the class flag is taken from the original design found on the Hofstra Gonfalons. Keep an eye out for the Class of 2016 flag at class events during the next four years.
