First-Gen Family Dinners are our signature event series! This monthly program provides an opportunity for any and all first-gen students to meet and mingle with peers, faculty and staff in the Living Learning Community and to get a FREE home cooked meal by Hofstra professors and/of staff members. The goals of this program are to facilitate community building, expose first-gen students to important University resources and networking opportunities, and to eat some truly amazing food.
Past guest chefs have included the Vice President of Student Enrollment, Engagement and Success, the University Provost, the Dean of Students, a variety of professors, and representatives from Student Financial Services, University Advising, The Writing Center, The Center for Career Design and Development, the Center for Academic Excellence, the Hofstra Museum, Information Technology, Campus Dining, The Office of Residence Life, Title IX, Student Counseling Servies, and many, many others.
