Hofstra Family Connection Blog

Our printed Family Connection newsletter is going green! Starting in summer 2012, you have access to the constantly-updated Family Connection Blog, informing you about campus events, personalities and issues. We are saving trees and postage, and enabling you to respond to our articles. Parents are invited to submit their "Parent Voice" blogs, describing their experiences and funny anecdotes. Just e-mail us. Below you may choose past issues of Family Connection from the drop-down menu.
