Favorite Person at Hofstra: I have two favorite people at Hofstra because I am a very indecisive person and both of these people are wonderful. First, my Roommate, Jordan. Jordan is from the opposite side of the country so I would have had no chance of meeting her had we not both decided to go to Hofstra. She was my neighbor in Groningen our freshman year and I am so glad we decided to become roommates for our Sophomore year. Jordan is my best friend and she is always there to listen to me complain when I have a bad day and she is always there to make me laugh and laugh with me over the silliest things. Second, Professor Szenher, she is also my boss when I work in the Equipment Room during the fall and spring semester. Professor Szenher is easily one of the most hardworking members of the School of Communication. But despite how busy she is, she always makes time to check on the mental health of her students and student employees and also makes sure to give her students extra attention when they are not fully understanding the material we are covering in class. I respect Professor Szenher's compassion greatly and loved being in her class, which is why she is one of my favorite people at Hofstra.
