THIS IS HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY 

Hofstra University provides a dynamic college experience tailored 

for engaged and ambitious individuals. Students find pride 

and purpose at Hofstra, through small classes, a faculty whose 

primary concern is teaching, cutting edge technology, extensive library 

resources, internships, and active and compelling 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 76-year 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 50 states 

and territories, and 72 countries around the world. The beautiful campus 

is an accredited arboretum with 115 buildings on 240 acres. There are 

approximately 4,000 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. 

While the campus and its offerings have changed, what has remained 

consistent throughout the years 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, School 

of Communication, School of Education, Health and Human Services, 

Maurice A. Deane School of Law, School for University Studies, Honors 

College, Hofstra University Continuing Education and Hofstra North 

Shore-LIJ School of Medicine at Hofstra University. Bachelor’s degrees 

are offered in about 150 areas of study. Graduate degrees are offered, 

including Ph.D., Ed.D., Psy.D., Au.D., J.D., and M.D. degrees, advanced 

certificates and professional diplomas, in more approximately 160 

programs of study. 

Hofstra joined with North Shore-LIJ Health System in announcing plans 

to establish a medical school on the University campus in October 2007. 

The new school, which welcomed its first class in July 2011, is the first 

allopathic (MD) medical school in Nassau County and the first in New 

York State since 1963. 

In October 2011 the Commission on Presidential Debates announced 

that it had chosen Hofstra University for the site of its October 16, 

2012 Presidential Debate, which will be in the “town meeting” format. 

The Commission on Presidential Debates, a nonprofit, nonpartisan 

corporation, has sponsored and produced every presidential and vicepresidential 

debate since 1988. Hofstra University hosted the third and 

final presidential debate of the 2008 election cycle, between then Senator 

Barack Obama and Senator John McCain, on October 15, 

2008. 

In 2011 Hofstra announced that it would launch a School 

of Engineering and Applied Science with a co-op education 

program that will partner with a network of industry leaders to 

offer students substantial work experience before they graduate. 

The new school, set to open in September 2012, will combine 

and expand the University’s existing Engineering and 

Computer Science departments to develop a curriculum that 

emphasizes high-tech research, practical work experience 

and inter-disciplinary study, integrating resources and faculty 

from other parts of the institution, including the Hofstra North 

Shore-LIJ School of Medicine and the Frank G. Zarb School 

of Business. 

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 

2 Hofstra University

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 University recently completed a year-long 

celebration of its 75th anniversary, complete with a concert, academic 

convocation and cake, several conferences and signature events 

which brought together students, faculty, alumni and community. 

In October 2008 the eyes of the world were on Hofstra for the final 

presidential debate between Barack Obama and John McCain. The 

debate 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, followed by Define ’09, which 

looked at the first year of his presidency. The University continues to 

host important political events, such 

as the New York State Gubernatorial 

Debate in 2010. 

The Hofstra Museum, which houses 

one of the largest art collections in 

the metropolitan area, coordinates 

approximately eight exhibitions 

annually and offers exhibition areas 

and an extensive outdoor sculpture 

collection, with 75 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 six theaters, a student 

newspaper, a lively student center, a 

recently renovated recreation center 

and numerous athletic facilities, 

including the 13,000-seat James M. 

Shuart Stadium and the 5,046-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.

HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS 

JACK HAYES 

Hofstra University Director of Athletics 

Jack Hayes is in his eighth year as director 

of athletics at Hofstra University in 2011- 

12. 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 17 

Division I teams, 90 coaches and administrative 

staff members and 350 student-athletes. 

Hayes’ proven expertise in enhancing 

academic and athletic success of studentathletes, 

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 20 CAA Championships and 

making 33 postseason appearances, 

including 25 NCAA Tournaments, 

since the 2004-05 academic year. In 

2010-11 four Pride teams advanced to 

postseason play with women’s soccer 

and men’s lacrosse reaching the NCAA 

Tournament as at-large selections. In 

addition, Hofstra hosted the NCAA 

Men’s Lacrosse Quarterfinals in 2009 

and 2011, setting a James M. Shuart 

Stadium attendance record in 2011. 

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 three consecutive years. 

In addition, Hofstra Athletics signed its 

largest corporate sponsorship deal in 

department history when it partnered 

with W.B. Mason in 2010. In 2011 

Hofstra announced a 1.5 million dollar 

commitment from lacrosse alumnus 

James C. Metzger ’83, the largest gift in 

Hofstra Athletics history. 

Resources generated through fundraising 

efforts have been used to 

enhance programs and facilities 

available to student-athletes. Recent initiatives 

include the construction of the W.B. Mason 

Pride Lounge on the lower level of the Mack 

Sports Complex, baseball’s Quinn Family 

Grandstand and the Fried Family Student- 

Athlete Development Center on the second 

floor of the James M. Shuart Stadium Building. 

Other recent renovations include locker rooms, 

the wrestling room, athletic training rooms 

in Margiotta Hall and the Physical Education 

Center, the basketball media room in the Mack 

Sports Complex, a press box at the Hofstra 

Soccer Stadium, replacement of the turf at 

James M. Shuart Stadium and the construction 

of the Hofstra Field Hockey Stadium. 

In 2006 Hayes reintroduced the Hofstra 

Athletics Hall of Fame after more than a 50- 

year absence, inducting five classes since that 

time. He also led an effort to retire the uniform 

numbers of prominent Hofstra student-athletes 

with 20 jersey retirement ceremonies held 

during the 2008-09 academic year. 

Active on a national level, Hayes served on 

the NCAA Division I Lacrosse Committee 

from September 2006 to September 2008. 

In September 2010 he was appointed to the 

NCAA Leadership Council, which is an 

advisory body to the Division I Board of 

Directors. 

Hayes came to Hofstra with more than 14 years 

of athletic administration experience, including 

management positions at four Division I 

institutions – 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. In October 2010 Hayes 

became a two-time member of Providence 

Country Day’s Athletic Hall of Fame when he 

was inducted along with the rest of his high 

school lacrosse team. 

Hayes resides in East Northport, New York, 

with his wife Bridget, daughter Katie (9), and 

sons Matt (6), Tommy (3) and Michael (1).

ATHLETIC ACADEMIC SUPPORT 

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 up to three courses. 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, 

through the Center for University Advisement, 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 advisor 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. The academic advisor serves as 

the primary advisor for first-year and undecided student-athletes, 

and also assists upperclassmen who have declared a major. 

Area three is academic monitoring. The advisor monitors the 

academic progress of student‐athletes to ensure compliance 

with Hofstra University, NCAA and conference regulations. The 

advisor’s regular communication with the faculty and coaches 

provide opportunities for early intervention should academic 

difficulties arise. 

Area four is study halls. The University Tutorial Program supports 

athletic study halls by providing tutors in various subjects as 

necessary. The academic advisors also assess the needs of 

individual student‐athletes to provide the most effective study 

environment. The assessment tool administered by the Center for 

University Advisement 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 2010 The Fried Center for Student-Athlete Development was 

opened on the second level of the James M. Shuart Stadium 

Building. The center houses the offices of the Student-Athlete 

Services Staff, as well as a large computer lab with printer access 

for use by Hofstra student-athletes, a quiet study area with 

wireless internet access and two group study/tutor rooms with 

power point access and white boards. 


SPORTS MEDICINE/ATHLETIC TRAINING 

Through a comprehensive athletic training program, 

Hofstra University student-athletes are provided 

excellent health care during their time 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 ninth-year Head Athletic Trainer 

Evan Malings and features six 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.

LONG ISLAND/NEW YORK CITY 

About Long Island… 

Long Island has a rich history as an active, vibrant community, a summer playground, 

and home to some of New York’s most prominent families. 

Five distinct regions make up Long Island: 

• North Shore, otherwise known as the Gold Coast, with dozens 

of historic sites dating back to colonial days and Gatsby-era 

mansions. 

• South Shore, the Island’s spectator sports and entertainment 

center, with world-famous Jones and Fire Island Beaches, and 

home to the New York Islanders. 

• Central Suffolk, with beautiful forests and natural inlets, the 

world’s largest factory outlet center and a huge water park. 

• North Fork, with an array of vineyards, waterfront ports and farm 

stands.

• to sophisticated malls, designer outlets and shopping villages, 

• to wineries and farm stands, 

• to family fun parks, aquariums and zoos,

THE COLONIAL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION 

The Colonial Athletic Association continues to build on its 

reputation as one of the nation’s top collegiate conferences both 

athletically and academically. 

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, 12 national coaches of the year and 12 Honda Award 

winners. Just as impressive, however, are the honors accumulated 

away from competition, which include five Rhodes Scholars and 22 

NCAA post-graduate scholars. In 2010-11, more than 1,900 of the 

league’s 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 conference had 21 teams in 12 different 

sports receive NCAA Public Recognition Awards based on the latest 

Academic Progress Report released in 2011. 

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), Atlanta (8), Washington, D.C. (9) 

and Baltimore (25). The number of 

television homes in the CAA market 

exceeds 20 million. 

The CAA conducts championships in 

23 sports. 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, rowing, soccer, 

softball, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field and volleyball. In 

2010-11, 25 teams earned NCAA Tournament berths and 50 studentathletes 

received All-America honors in 13 different sports. 

The conference has made its presence known nationally in men’s 

basketball with two teams – George Mason (2006) and VCU (2011) – 

advancing to the NCAA Final Four over the past five years. Three CAA 

teams earned NCAA Tournament berths for the first time in 2011 as 

conference champion Old Dominion was joined by VCU and George 

Mason. VCU knocked off USC, Georgetown, Purdue, Florida State and 

top-seeded Kansas, while Mason defeated Villanova. The Rams were 

ranked No. 6 in the final ESPN/USA Today Top 25 poll, which was the 

highest ranking ever for a CAA team. In 2006, George Mason captured 

the nation’s imagination by becoming the first mid-major program since 

1979 to reach the Final Four, posting victories over Michigan State, 

North Carolina, Wichita State and Connecticut along the way. 

Six CAA women’s basketball teams advanced to postseason 

play in 2011. James Madison represented the conference in the 

NCAA Tournament after capturing its second straight conference 

championship. Delaware, Drexel, UNC Wilmington, Old Dominion 

and VCU participated in the WNIT, with the Seahawks advancing to 

the second round. ODU, which won an NCAA-record 17 straight CAA 

titles from 1992-2008, boasts three national championships (1979, 

1980, 1985) and was national runner-up in 1997. 

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. At least two women’s soccer teams have advanced to 

the second round of the NCAA Tournament in three of the past four 

seasons and William & Mary gave the CAA a team in the final 16 

of the NCAA Men’s Soccer Championship for the sixth time in the 

last nine years. In men’s cross country, William & Mary advanced 

to the NCAA Championship for the 12 th straight year and finished 

19 th overall. In the pool, Towson’s Meredith Budner finished as the 

runner-up in the 500 freestyle and 1650 freestyle at the 2011 NCAA 

Championship and received All-America honors along with George 

Mason’s Ashley Danner. Delaware and Towson have each reached the 

Final Four of the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championship in the past 

decade. The CAA has sent multiple teams to the NCAA Baseball 

Championship in nine of the last 14 years and has had at least 12 

players selected in the eight of the last nine Major League Baseball 

drafts. The conference also boasts numerous All-Americans in lacrosse, 

tennis, golf, track and field, women’s lacrosse and wrestling. 

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 that have been 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.
