Meet the Fall 2021 Cohort of TLG Recipients

Working for Smiles
Biochemistry major Komal Khokhar could have interned at a hospital or clinic close to home. Instead, she trekked to the Andes Mountains to provide dental care and education in a remote Peruvian village with little access to potable water or electricity. Khokhar’s trip was partially subsidized thanks to a Transformative Learning Grant from Hofstra College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
TLG's Second Cohort
Seven students, representing the arts, social sciences, and the natural sciences, made up the second cohort of Hofstra College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Transformative Learning Grant recipients. The funds helped students studying in Amsterdam, Costa Rica, Florence, and Peru, as well as interning at the Gamut Theatre Academy, the Innocence Project, and the Paradigm Talent Agency.
