Spring Family Day: Saturday, April 24, 2010
If you missed Family Weekend last October, the Spring Family Day is an opportunity to visit your son or daughter and to renew your connection to Hofstra campus. You might remember that, last year, this day was called Upper-Class Students Family Day. We've realized, from your feedback, that parents and family members of all years are interested in the day's program. The information sessions focus on the topics of career preparation and academic progress toward graduation. All events are free of charge and include Academic and Career Check-Up, Hofstra Arboretum Tour, Lunch, Spring Dance Concert, and sport events. The program will be posted on this page closer to the event.
Please register by April 19 by e-mailing parents@hofstra.edu or calling (516) 463-4698. We need to know:
your name(s),
e-mail,
phone number,
home town and state,
your student’s name and Hofstra ID number.
