President’s Message Dear Friends,

Years of Pride and Purpose is a yearlong celebration of Hofstra University’s unique history, our academic excellence, our service to the community, and the success of our faculty, alumni and students. During the spring, we will continue the extraordinary celebration of Hofstra’s 75th anniversary. The Hofstra Cultural Center has again assembled a rich and diverse schedule of performances, events, conferences, lectures and programs. The celebration, which began in 2010 on the anniversary of our first day of classes, September 23, continues through the end of the academic year, and concludes with two landmark events. First, we look back at our shared history through a major interdisciplinary conference, 1935: The Reality and the Promise, and second, we look forward and celebrate the admission of the first class of students to the Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine at Hofstra University during our annual gala. The Hofstra Cultural Center has convened a unique series of academic conferences and symposia, and, under the direction of Provost Herman Berliner, asked each of our schools and colleges to look at the history and future of their academic disciplines. During the spring semester, we celebrate Hofstra University School of Law’s 40th anniversary with the conference Hofstra Law School and the Community: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. The School for University Studies hosts Framing the World: 1935 Film Festival, and the School of Communication considers Communication, Technology and Democracy: Promises, Prophecies and Projections: 1935-2011. Other divisions and groups, such as the Saltzman Community Services Center, IDEAS Institute, Honors College and the Hofstra Association of Retired Professors host events that are open to the public. The Department of Drama and Dance hosts Into Sunlight: Impact of War and Violence on the Social Body From the Vietnam Era to the Present, an interdisciplinary conference that brings together lectures and panel discussions with artistic displays and performances. Drama and Dance also hosts an evening of musical theater with 75 Years in 75 Minutes. In addition to the rich variety of programming through the 75th anniversary celebration, our academic and student divisions offer a wealth of other public lectures, workshops and performances, designed to educate, engage and entertain you. From the Kalikow Center’s consideration of presidential issues, to the School of Medicine’s Complete Physician lecture series, to the Music Department’s variety of performances or Hofstra Entertainment’s Summer Season, to the Hofstra University Museum’s exhibitions and public education programs, to the Irish Festival, there is something for our entire community this spring. I hope you will join us for another season of exceptional events, lectures and performances. Sincerely,

Stuart Rabinowitz President
