Shake-A-Rake, Recap
On November 15th, the Office of Off Campus Living and Commuting Student Services held its annual Shake-A-Rake community outreach. With 302 students in attendance, the largest turnout in the program’s history, Hofstra continues a tradition that strongly and positively bonds the community and the school. Among the students in attendance were 15 athletic teams, 7 fraternities and sororities, 1 sports club, and several international students.

Tips For Getting Your Student Prepared for the Winter!
It’s been a very confusing fall
when it comes to the weather and it’s
starting to get very cold outside. Winter is coming upon us! For some, this
means snowball fights and snowmen, hot chocolate and staying inside with
friends to watch movies, but for others this means long commutes, tons of
shoveling, and being cold all the time. New York snowstorms create a winter
wonderland on campus. But although snowstorms bring joy to many people, there
are a lot of supplies that students can use that will really help them get
through the winter months. You can help your student become prepared by making
sure they have exactly what they need for this winter.

Maysoon Zayid's "Survival of the Unfittest"
In
the spirit of the fast approaching Thanksgiving festivities, I would be
remiss in not expressing how fortunate the Hofstra community is to have
such a lively and interactive campus.
On any given day, you can stumble upon an executive speaker at a Frank
G. Zarb Business School event, a Common Hour Compliment on a Random Acts
of Kindness Day, or find forty students doing
organized yoga on the Quad. But sometimes,
the students and larger community of Hofstra are fortunate enough to
welcome a particularly special guest to our campus. This week, Hofstra
is a buzz with the forward looking Thanksgiving break, the Men’s
Basketball game versus Stony Brook, the Indian Festival
of Lights, and another particularly exciting event. On Friday night at 6:00 p.m., Pride PALS and the rest of the Hofstra community welcome Maysoon Zayid, writer, actress, and hilarious standup comedian, to the
Monroe Lecture Hall stage.
