Study Abroad: Spain, Summer 2015
This summer I am studying abroad in the beautiful city of Granada, Spain. The food is delicious, the people are friendly, and the music is amazing. My host parents and roommate make me feel like a part of the family and this amazing city already feels like home. I only knew one Hofstra student on this trip before we left New York but now I have met the other students and we are great friends! I am very fortunate to be able share wonderful experiences with them from visiting the Alhambra to taking a Flamenco dance class. We have only been here for one week, and I am excited to see what’s next!

Hofstra’s Tree of the Week
As many of you may already know, Hofstra is well known for
the beautiful campus with extraordinary landscape features, such as the various
trees and tulips. For those of you not too close to campus, we have decided to
feature a piece of Hofstra’s exquisite arboretum on our blog so that you can
see our trees from a distance! The featured piece of Hofstra’s land is a tree
with the scientific name Cedrus Atlantica ‘Fasigiata’ or the Upright Blue Atlas
Cedar.

Movie of the Month: Jurassic World
The newest part of the Jurassic Park film series, Jurassic World, is a box office hit! The
film smashed box office records and made a total of $524.1 million in its
opening across the globe, making it the highest gross global opening ever! The
film touches on the highly debated topic of genetic modification by creating a
hybrid breed dinosaur. Is this new monster a theme park success, or a little
too much for the park rangers to handle? Find out for yourself, as I highly
recommend the new thriller!
