OFFICE OF
The Office of Government and Community Affairs at Hofstra University is dedicated to fostering meaningful relationships between the University, government agencies, community organizations, and the broader public. Our mission is to advocate for policies that support higher education, drive community engagement, and enhance the University’s role as a leader in regional economic and social development. Through collaboration, outreach, and strategic partnerships, we aim to promote civic engagement, public service, and impactful initiatives that benefit both Hofstra and the surrounding communities.
Programs
Annual Legislative Breakfast
An event that fosters dialogue between students, faculty, and legislative leaders. This gathering serves as a platform to discuss pressing policy issues and their implications for the university community and beyond.
Off-Campus Federal Work Study Job Placement
Government and Community Affairs works alongside the Office of Student Employment to secure employment opportunities for students within Hofstra’s surrounding community. The Off-Campus Federal Work Study program contributes directly to the portion of the University’s strategic plan focused on community engagement and service learning as we will be able to provide an opportunity for students (with financial need) to gain valuable work experience in a community service setting.
