The Office of Student Activities has been designed to enhance the cocurricular life of the Hofstra community and help students become more involved. We encourage students to participate in the many clubs, organizations and campus events that Hofstra has to offer. It is our job to see that each and every student gets the most out of their college experience. We feel very strongly that the best way to become a well-rounded student is to get involved. Since Student Activities is based on this belief, we have done our best to make sure that there is something for everyone. There are hundreds of conferences, lectures, workshops, cultural programs, seminars, concerts, dance parties and socials that take place at Hofstra each semester. In addition, there are more than one hundred clubs and organizations on campus. Anyone interested in participating in the activity clubs contact the Dean of Students Office located at 242 Student Center, (516) 463-6914.
