Hofstra Law Alumni Association

Hofstra Law School's more than 9,900 alumni make up its Alumni Association. Membership in the Association is free to all alumni. The Alumni Association provides alumni with opportunities to engage with their fellow alumni, students, faculty and administrators for their personal and professional development as well as to enhance Law School programming. 

The Association is led by an Executive Board and is organized into four committees — alumni relations/development, career services, diversity and enrollment management — each of which works closely with a member of the Hofstra Law administration.  The executive board, roles of the committees and committee co-chairs are as follows:

Executive Board

Alumni Relations/Development Committee

The purpose of the Alumni Relations/Development Committee is to assist the Law School's Office of External Relations with the development of programs, networking opportunities and other benefits to strengthen the alumni community and its affiliation with the Law School, and to provide outreach to alumni in support of Hofstra Law School's programs and its fund-raising efforts.

Career Services Committee

The Career Services Committee assists the Law School by, among other things, engaging in outreach to fellow Hofstra Law alumni for the purpose of identifying potential internship and post-graduate employment opportunities for Hofstra Law students and graduates; promoting alumni participation in the Law School's on-campus recruitment programs (OCI);  identifying alumni who are willing to serve as professional mentors for current students; and participating in career- and professional development-related programming run by the Law School.

Diversity Committee

The  Diversity Committee was formed to further the Law School's efforts to maintain a diverse student body, faculty and administration. The committee supports the Law School's efforts to identify and recruit students from diverse ethnic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds; provide support to minority students and organizations through participation in their programs and events, as well as serve as mentors and advisors; assist in engaging alumni from diverse backgrounds and help to develop ways of encouraging their participation in alumni activities; and help to build financial support for the Law School's diversity scholarships and overall fund-raising efforts.

Enrollment Management Committee

The Enrollment Management Committee assists the law school by organizing volunteers to enhance outreach and recruitment efforts to prospective students by providing direct, personalized, and inspirational interactions. The committee assists with recruiting and encouraging alumni to attend admitted student events; developing the Alumni-Connect program, where alumni directly reach out to top prospective students who share similar professional interests; and identifying alumni who are willing to serve as mentors for incoming students.
