2 HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY

Hofstra University provides a dynamic college experience tailored for innately ambitious, outcome-oriented individuals.

Students find their edge at Hofstra, through small classes, a faculty whose primary concern is teaching, cutting edge technology, extensive library resources, internships, and special educational programs that appeal to their interests and abilities. The Hofstra community is driven, dynamic and energetic, helping students find and focus their strengths to prepare them for a successful future.

In its relatively short history, Hofstra has established itself as a world-class institution of higher education and cultural enterprise. Each academic year, the Hofstra campus and the programs offered grow and change to meet the demands of our students and our community.

Hofstra opened in 1935 as a commuter school with all classes and offices housed in one building. Since those early days, Hofstra has evolved into an international institution with a student body hailing from 46 states and territories, and 65 countries around the world. The beautiful campus is an accredited

arboretum with 113 buildings on 240 acres. There are approximately 4,200 students living on campus, and Hofstra offers them and all students an extensive array of academic and social activities. Additionally, Hofstra’s close proximity to Manhattan means that students have easy access to the wondrous cultural, social and career offerings of the city.

What has remained consistent throughout the years, however, is the sense of community on campus, the eagerness of our students to learn and the commitment of the Hofstra faculty and administration to provide a challenging education that encourages the pursuit of lifelong learning.

The Colleges and Schools of the University are: Hofstra College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Frank G. Zarb School of Business, New College of Hofstra, School of Communication, School of Education, Health and Human Services, School of Law, School for University Studies, University College for Continuing Education, Honors College and Saturday College. Bachelor’s degrees are offered in 140 areas of study. Graduate degrees are offered, including Ph.D., Ed.D., Psy.D., Au.D., and J.D. degrees,

advanced certificates and professional diplomas, in more than 150 programs of study.

In October 2007, Hofstra joined with North Shore-LIJ Health System in announcing plans to establish a medical school on the University campus. The new school, which is expected to enroll its first students in 2011, pending preliminary accreditation with the Liaison Committee on Medical Education and requisite New York State approval, will be the first allopathic (MD) medical school in Nassau County and the first in New York state since 1963.

In November 2007, the Commission on Presidential Debates announced that it had selected Hofstra to be the site of the third and final debate of the 2008 presidential election campaign. The October 15 debate, moderated by Bob Schieffer, was a transformational moment for the University, highlighting the achievements of our students and faculty and their engagement in the political process. Leading up to the debate, students and the entire community were engaged by the year-long Educate ‘08 program, almost 150 lectures, conferences, and events focused on the issues, history and politics of the presidency.

A month earlier, Hofstra announced that it had awarded its first Guru Nanak Interfaith Prize to His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet. The new international award, which recognizes efforts at interfaith dialogue, received 75 nominations for individuals and organizations from around the world. The Dalai Lama is expected to visit Hofstra in 2009.

Hofstra University Honors College welcomed its first class in 2001 and proved to be an immediate success, not only with University faculty and administrators, but also among the 93 inaugural students. Every fall since, the number of entering freshmen has increased substantially.

Hofstra’s School of Communication is one of the largest, most advanced non-commercial television facilities in the East. Students take classes and work in Dempster Hall, a sophisticated television production/post-production facility with two broadcast-quality studios and control rooms; two advanced online video edit suites; two Avid non-linear digital editing systems and several cuts-only video work stations. Two satellite dishes are available with one dish providing special news feeds for the broadcast journalism room, which also has access to Associated Press, Lexis-Nexis and Dow Jones services. In addition, the facility is capable of broadcasting student-produced programming to the entire campus on our own cable channels. Also located here is the University’s radio station (WRHU/88.7-FM), audio production studios, a film/video screening room, film editing rooms, a computer laboratory, a speech performance studio and a large dance studio.

Hofstra’s C.V. Starr Hall offers academic facilities that are among the most technologically advanced in the nation. Every seat in every classroom allows students direct access to the Internet and Hofstra network, including the resources of Hofstra’s Axinn Library.

Hofstra’s growing computer facilities offer extensive high-tech training opportunities. There are computer terminals throughout the campus for student and faculty use, with more than 750 PC, Macintosh and UNIX workstations available in labs and classrooms.

Hofstra hosts more than 500 cultural events annually, bringing thousands of scholars, dignitaries and other participants to campus. More than 200 musical and dramatic performances take place on campus each year.

The Hofstra Museum, which houses one of the largest art collections in the metropolitan area, coordinates approximately 12 exhibitions annually and offers exhibition areas and an extensive outdoor sculpture collection, with more than 65 pieces. The Hofstra Museum is accredited by the American Association of Museums – one of only 94 universities in the nation and one of six in New York to hold that distinction.

Hofstra also has seven theaters, a student newspaper, a lively student center, a recreation center and numerous athletic facilities, including the 13,000-seat James M. Shuart Stadium and the 5,045-seat David S. Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex. Hofstra also has an indoor, Olympic-sized (eight lane, 50-meter) swimming pool, one of the largest such facilities in the New York metropolitan area.

The Hofstra athletic program competes on the NCAA Division I level and is a member of the Colonial Athletic Association. The University sponsors 18 intercollegiate programs – nine men’s sports and nine women’s sports. Hofstra

has men’s teams in basketball, football, baseball, lacrosse, golf, tennis, wrestling, soccer and cross country. Women’s sports include basketball, volleyball, softball, tennis, soccer, field hockey, lacrosse, cross country and golf.

Hofstra’s academic programs are accredited by numerous national agencies and the University is one of only 270 schools, out of more than 3,600 colleges and universities nationwide, with a chapter of the national honor society Phi Beta Kappa. Of Hofstra’s 1,206 faculty members, 532 are full time and 90 percent hold the highest degree in their fields. The average undergraduate class size is 23 students, while student-faculty ratio is 14-to-1.

Hofstra University is 100-percent program accessible to persons with disabilities, and has been cited as a national model for this achievement.

Amanda Foukas is in her first season as the head men’s and women’s tennis coach at Hofstra University. Foukas, who was named to the post on September

16, replaces Mike Sowter, who departed to take the head coaching position at New Jersey Institute of Technology.

“I am very excited about the opportunity to continue my coaching career at Hofstra,” commented Foukas. “I know the strides both teams have made in recent years and I am confident that Pride Tennis will continue to improve and be a force in the region.”

Foukas joins the Pride staff after serving as a tennis professional at Little Silver Tennis Club in Little Silver, New Jersey, since September of 2007.

“With Amanda’s experience in the New York area and at the

NCAA Division I level, I am confident that the success both programs have achieved recently will continue under her leadership,” stated Director of Athletics Jack Hayes.

Prior to her position at Little Silver, Foukas served as the assistant men’s and women’s tennis coach at Stony Brook University in Stony Brook, New York,

from August 2005 until August 2007. While serving as an assistant coach, both programs had unprecedented success as the men won the America East title and advanced to the NCAA Championship for the first time in school history in 2006. The women, meanwhile, advanced to the conference semifinals twice and both programs were honored with Intercollegiate Tennis Association All-Academic accolades.

While a member of the Seawolves staff, Foukas assisted in all aspects of the program including the recruitment of domestic and international student-athletes, scheduling and NCAA compliance issues. Foukas also took part in all practice and match preparations and was responsible for the coordination and execution of fundraising programs, alumni activities and community outreach initiatives.

Foukas’ extensive tennis experience in the New York metropolitan area began when she served as an assistant men’s and women’s tennis coach at Wagner College in Staten Island, New York from August 2003 until June of 2005.

A 2002 graduate of Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, Foukas graduated with a bachelor of arts degree in communications, mass media and library studies and a minor in English. Foukas was a four-year member of the women’s tennis team at Rutgers and earned team Most Valuable Player honors in 2002 and was the program’s Rookie of the Year in 1999. During her career she accumulated over 100 singles and doubles victories.

Foukas, who also has a master’s degree in education from Wagner (2005), resides in Highlands, New Jersey, with her husband, Savvas, an attorney.

Sunny Fishkind, a longtime scholastic tennis coach on Long Island, is in her third season as an assistant coach with the Hofstra Tennis program.

Fishkind served as the girl’s varsity tennis coach at Bethpage High School from 1979 through 2005 and coached the boy’s varsity team from 1979 through 1990. She was named the Nassau County Coach of the Year in 1982, and also earned High School Coach of the Year accolades from the United State Tennis Association (USTA) in 1996 and 1997.

From 1993 to 2004, she served as president of the Nassau County High School Women’s Tennis Association and was also the coordinator of girl’s tennis for all Nassau County high schools. As coordinator, Fishkind coached the Nassau County team at the New York State Tournament, sat on the state girl’s tennis committee, created the Nassau County Girl’s Tennis Handbook and was in charge of scheduling matches for the county schools.

In 1986 Fishkind became director of the Hofstra University Summer Tennis Camp and still holds that position today. In her role she is responsible for introducing and furthering the skills of tennis to children ages 6 to 16, as well as the supervision of camp instructors.

Fishkind is an active volunteer as a member of the Long Island Board of the USTA and is a yearly volunteer at the U.S. Open. In 1994 she was named Volunteer of the Year and in 2002 she was presented with the Hy Zausner Lifetime Achievement Award by the USTA Eastern Section, Long Island Region.

A 1977 graduate of Queens College, Fishkind earned a master’s in library science from C.W. Post in 1979. She worked as a library media specialist and computer teacher in the West Babylon School District from 1979 to 2001 and served as the district library chairperson from 1990 to 2001.

Jack Hayes is in his fifth year as director of athletics at Hofstra University in 2008-09. Hayes was

appointed by Hofstra President Stuart Rabinowitz as the University’s director of athletics on October 4, 2004. Hayes came to Hofstra after serving as an associate director of athletics at the University of Connecticut for three years. Hayes, the eighth director of athletics at Hofstra, leads a department that includes 18 Division I teams, 100 coaches and administrative staff members and 400 student-athletes.

Hayes’ proven expertise in enhancing academic and athletic success of student-athletes, strategic planning, fund-raising, marketing, university relations, facility enhancement, budgetary management, and NCAA compliance complements Hofstra University’s athletic department in its quest to further enhance its athletic program, and assist Hofstra’s student-athletes both on and off the field.

The Hofstra Athletic program has flourished under Hayes’ leadership, winning 17 CAA Championships and making 22 postseason appearances since the 2004-05 academic year. The Pride won four CAA titles and had four NCAA Tournament teams – women’s soccer, wrestling, men’s lacrosse and softball – in 2007-08 with the soccer team advancing to the second round for the first time in program history and the wrestling team earning a 15th place finish at the NCAA Championships.

Hayes has placed a significant emphasis on fund-raising during his tenure. Pride Club membership reached all-time highs, both in terms of the number of contributors and funds raised as the organization topped the $1 million mark for the first time in the 19-year history of the organization. Resources generated through fund-raising efforts have been used to enhance programs and facilities available to student-athletes. Recent initiatives include the construction of Hofstra’s new field hockey stadium, as well as the replacement of the artificial turf in Shuart Stadium. In the last three years there have also been renovations

to the study lab in Margiotta Hall and construction of a new academic study area in the Physical Fitness Center.

In 2006 Hayes reintroduced the Hofstra Athletics Hall of Fame after more than a 50-year absence, inducting three classes since that time. He also led an effort to retire the uniform numbers of prominent Hofstra student-athletes with 20 jersey retirement ceremonies slated for the 2008-09 year.

Active on a national level, Hayes has served on the NCAA Division I Lacrosse Committee since September 2006.

Hayes came to Hofstra with more than 14 years of athletic administration experience, including management positions at four Division I institutions – the University of Connecticut, Fordham, St. John’s and Fairfield. Hayes received a master’s degree in education in 1992 with a concentration in sport management from the University of Connecticut. He holds a bachelor’s degree (1989) from Providence College, where he was a member of Providence’s lacrosse team. He was also awarded a certificate of completion in 2001 from the Sports Management Institute, Consortium of the Universities of Michigan and Texas. A native of Providence, Rhode Island, Hayes graduated from the Providence Country Day School where he lettered in

football, basketball and lacrosse. He was inducted, as a member of his high school basketball team, into the Providence Country Day Athletic Hall of Fame in October 2004.

Hayes resides in East Northport, New York, with his wife Bridget, daughter Katie (6), and sons Matt (3) and Tommy, who was born in March 2008.

Hofstra University is committed to the pursuit of academic and athletic excellence. The University views participation in intercollegiate athletics as benefiting the student-

athlete in an educationally enhancing experience beyond any other opportunity available. Hofstra also realizes the time commitment made by student-athletes and has committed the facilities and resources to support all students.

The University Tutorial Program (UTP) provides free tutoring in every subject area to any Hofstra student. Students are able to obtain up to 1 1/2 hours of individual tutorial assistance per week for each subject. They are also able to utilize the various help labs on campus, which specialize in providing assistance in writing, business and QM, and biology and chemistry. In addition to this service, student-athletes are assigned an academic advisor who helps address the various needs of student-athletes. The academic advisor emphasizes four areas in their efforts to ensure the academic success of Hofstra’s student-athletes.

Area one is academic counseling. Services are provided in the areas of academic planning, career planning, personal counseling, and campus and community referrals. The counselor also meets with prospective student-athletes, at the coach’s request, to share the many benefits of a Hofstra University education.

Area two is academic advising. In an effort to ease the demand on the Office of Advisement, the academic advisor also advises first-year and undecided student-athletes.

Area three is academic monitoring. The UTP counselor monitors the academic progress of student-athletes to ensure compliance with Hofstra University, NCAA and conference regulations. The counselor’s regular communication with the faculty and coaches provide an opportunity for early intervention should academic difficulties arise.

Area four is study halls. The University Tutorial Program provides all athletic study halls with tutors in various subjects and assesses the needs of individual student-athletes to provide the most effective study environment. The assessment tool administered by the UTP is also used to provide various enrichment seminars for the student-athletes such as time management, writing skills, campus resources, and surviving the college transition.

In the fall of 1999 a computer lab opened on the second floor of Margiotta Hall. The state-of-the-art computer lab and learning center features a projection system and 18 computer workstations, which are connected to the University network for easy research access to the Internet. The room was refurbished in 2005 with new furniture and computers. In addition to the Margiotta Hall computer lab, a new study area was constructed in 2006, located in the Physical Fitness Center, which features numerous computer workstations and office space for University academic advisement personnel.

thletic Training


Through a comprehensive athletic training program, Hofstra University student-athletes are provided excellent health care during their attendance at the

University. A coordinated effort between the University Health and Wellness Center, the Athletic Department and outside health care providers ensures every student-athlete the best medical attention possible. University student-athletes have direct access to a myriad of health care services. Managing the coverage of every practice and competition event is Hofstra University’s athletic training staff, which is led by sixth-year Head Athletic Trainer Evan Malings and features eight full-time athletic trainers and numerous student athletic trainers. The athletic trainers provide injury management, rehabilitation and treatment to the entire Athletic program. Utilizing three state-of-the-art athletic training rooms, these professionals work tirelessly to ensure the safe participation of Hofstra’s student-athletes and to return injured athletes to play quickly and safely.

Supporting the athletic trainers is team physician Dr. Damion Martins. Dr. Martins, a physician with Pro Health Care, Inc. in Lake Success, New York, is in his sixth year on Hofstra’s medical team. Martins’ experience in the sports medicine field includes serving as team physician for the

University of Maryland, University of Maryland-Baltimore County and Coppin State University athletic departments. He was also on the medical staff of the National Football League’s Baltimore Ravens.

Hofstra University sponsors a fully accredited, highly competitive undergraduate degree program for athletic training majors, in which Hofstra student athletic trainers participate in all aspects of the health care system.

The Symbols of Hofstra UniversityThe Shield Logo

In 2005 Hofstra introduced a new logo as part of a University-wide re-imaging. Both the University’s logo as well as the Pride logo were designed by advertising agency Powell New York, a full-service branding and marketing agency, noted as one of the ten firms to watch in 2005 in Advertising Age.

The new University logo features an “H” within a shield design. Hofstra

University has always been known for both a tradition of academic excellence and a willingness to evolve to meet the needs of students and the greater society. This shield represents the University’s commitment to our heritage and a tradition of academic excellence, while the dynamic representation of the H within the shield embodies the evolutionary, changing nature of the University. Hofstra University has both honored its traditions and heritage while embracing changing disciplines, using new technology and remaining relevant to scholarly pursuits and the demands of industry.

The SealThe Hofstra seal was designed from the royal Dutch emblem by art instructor Constant Van de Wall. The seal is modeled on the coat of arms of the House of Orange-Nassau. The round seal includes the coat of arms, flanked by lions on either side. A lion also stands in the center of the coat of arms, holding a sword in its right claw and a bundle of seven arrows, which represent the seven provinces of Holland, in its left. The seal also carries the motto of the House of Orange-Nassau in Old French: “Je maintiendray” (I stand steadfast). In 1988 one of the two lions on the seal was officially replaced with a lioness. The Hofstra seal is still in use today, though not as a logo. The seal will be affixed to formal documents, and used for official purposes such as commencement, convocations, and official University functions.

The PrideHofstra’s athletic teams are officially known as the Pride, providing our teams with a strong, consistent image that resonates with the Hofstra community. The new Hofstra Athletics logo consists of a graphic mark of a male and female lion in powerful, synchronized motion with the word mark of the Hofstra Pride or the specific sports team. This logo will be the only one used by Hofstra Athletics.

The Hofstra Pride refers to a pack of lions, male and female, which work together towards a common goal and symbolize determination and strength. The Pride conveys both the teamwork and togetherness that is a trait of lions living in prides, who have a close bond and work together for the good of the entire group. The teamwork evident in prides is a trait of Hofstra’s student-athletes, who support each other in furtherance of a common goal, while working tirelessly to represent their teams and, in turn, the University. Lions also possess speed, tenacity, and agility, and are relentless in their pursuit of a goal, which are traits our student-athletes demonstrate both on and off the field.

The first consistent use of the word “Pride” relating to athletics was in 1989 when the University’s athletic booster club was founded and called itself The Pride Club, which at the time simply referred to the pride that alumni and fans had for our teams. The Pride identity has progressed over the past decade in a more specific fashion than just the expression of a feeling. After one lion on the Hofstra seal was changed into a lioness to symbolize gender equity, the University mascots -- Kate and Willie Pride, a lioness and lion – were introduced.

Hofstra’s Dutch HeritageTies to Dutch heritage and the Netherlands began with William S. Hofstra, after whom the school is named and on whose property the University was started. William Hofstra died in 1932 and when his wife, Kate, died 16 months later, her will provided that their house, 15-acre estate, and bulk of her inheritance were to be used for a “public, charitable, benevolent, or scientific purpose” as a memorial to her husband.

The idea for a college came from Truesdel Peck Calkins, former Hempstead superintendent of schools, who was then with New York University. He suggested that NYU might offer extension courses on the Hofstra property.

Hofstra opened in September 1935, as a two-year extension branch of NYU; its official name was “Nassau College – Hofstra Memorial of New York University at Hempstead, Long Island.” When the doors opened, the sole building on campus was Hofstra’s mansion, which he had affectionately named the Netherlands after his homeland, and all classes were held there. The mansion, which houses administrative offices, is now the center of Hofstra’s 240-acre campus, and has been renamed Hofstra Hall.

thletic Association


With more than two decades of success athletically and academically, the Colonial

Athletic Association has established a reputation as one of the nation’s top collegiate conferences.

The CAA encompasses five of the nation’s nine largest metropolitan areas with a geographic footprint that stretches from Boston to Atlanta. The conference has produced 16 national team champions in five different sports, 33 individual national champions, 12 national players of the year, 11 national coaches of the year and 12 Honda Award winners. Even more impressive, however, are the honors accumulated away from competition, which include five Rhodes Scholars and 20 NCAA post-graduate scholars. In 2007-08, the CAA had five ESPN the Magazine Academic All-Americans and more than 1,700 of our 4,000 student-athletes received the Commissioner’s Academic Award after posting at least a 3.2 grade point average while lettering in a varsity sport.

The landscape of the conference stretches along the majority of the East Coast, and includes six of the nation’s top 25 media markets – New York (1), Philadelphia (4), Boston (7), Washington, D.C. (8), Atlanta (9) and Baltimore (24). The number of television homes in the CAA market exceeds 19.7 million.

The CAA currently sponsors 22 sports with the addition of a 12-team football league in 2007. Male athletes compete for championships in baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, lacrosse, soccer, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field and wrestling. Female athletes battle for conference titles in basketball, cross country, field hockey, golf, lacrosse, soccer, softball, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field and volleyball. In 2007-08, 26 teams earned NCAA Tournament berths and 46 student-athletes received All-America honors.

The conference has made its presence known nationally in men’s basketball with at least three teams advancing to post-season play for the past five years. Last season, conference champion George Mason earned its third NCAA Tournament trip since 2001, VCU received its fourth post-season berth in five seasons with a spot in the NIT and Old Dominion reached the quarterfinals of the inaugural CBI for its fourth consecutive

postseason appearance. In 2006, George Mason became the first mid-major program since 1979 to reach the Final Four, knocking off powerhouses Michigan State, North Carolina, Wichita State and Connecticut along the way. The Patriots were ranked No. 8 in the final ESPN/USA Today Top 25 poll, which was the highest ever for a CAA team.

The CAA has also had at least three women’s basketball teams participate in post-season play for the past three years. Perennial power Old Dominion, which has won three national championships (1979, 1980, 1985) and was national runner-up in 1997, captured its 17th consecutive CAA title last season and reached the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2002. James Madison made its third consecutive post-season appearance and advanced to the third round of the WNIT, while VCU advanced to the second round of the WNIT in just its second post-season trip in school history.

The conference also excels in many other sports. CAA squads have combined to win 10 field hockey national titles since the championship began in 1981. Delaware and Towson have each reached the Final Four of the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championship. For the first time, three women’s soccer teams reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament in 2007 and at least one men’s soccer team has advanced to the final 16 of the NCAA Championship in five of the last six years. Hofstra finished 15th overall at the NCAA Wrestling Championship and William & Mary placed 15th nationally in men’s cross country. In baseball, the CAA had 23 players chosen in the 2008 Major League draft, which was the second-highest total in league history. Hofstra won its NCAA-record 11th-straight conference title in softball and reached the NCAA regional finals. Individually, the W&M women’s tennis duo of Megan Moulton-Levy and Katarina Zoricic reached the quarterfinals of the NCAA Doubles Championship in 2008 to earn All-America status for the second straight season, and Georgia State golfer Joel

Sjoholm placed 13th overall at the NCAA Men’s Golf Championship.

CAA member institutions are committed to excellence in the classroom. The Colonial Academic Alliance was created in 2002 by the league’s presidents with a goal of expanding their partnership to all aspects of university life outside of intercollegiate athletics. Among the programs already established are an undergraduate research conference, coordination of study abroad programs and granting visiting academic status to student-athletes traveling to an away contest so that they have access to libraries, academic resource centers and computer labs.

In 2002, two faculty members from CAA institutions were awarded academia’s most coveted distinction – the Nobel Prize. John B. Fenn, a research professor in the Department of Chemistry at Virginia Commonwealth University, received the Nobel Prize for chemistry, and Vernon Smith, a professor of economics and law at George Mason University, shared the Nobel Prize in economic sciences.

Commissioner Thomas E. Yeager has guided the CAA since its inception. The conference traces its roots back to 1983 when three of its current members- George Mason University, James Madison University, and the College of William and Mary - were aligned with East Carolina University, the United States Naval Academy and the University of Richmond as a basketball league (ECAC South). During the next two years, the league added 11 sports, acquired two new members (the University of North Carolina at Wilmington and American University) and decided to form a new association. The transformation from ECAC South to CAA took place on June 6, 1985.

Charter members George Mason, James Madison, UNC Wilmington and William and Mary were joined by Old Dominion University in 1991 and by Virginia Commonwealth University in 1995. The conference added the University of Delaware, Drexel University, Hofstra University and Towson University in 2001. Georgia State University and Northeastern University became members of the conference on July 1, 2005.

From all-star athletes to Nobel Prize winning faculty, the CAA takes great pride in producing performers who stand out both on the playing field and in the classroom.
