The Office of Marketing and Communications at Hofstra serves as a communications hub for news generated by the entire Hofstra community – faculty, staff, administration, students, alumni, and friends. That news ranges from the receipt of prestigious faculty and student awards to the introduction of new academic programs to the retirement of a longtime colleague – and includes everything in between.
To help you better understand and use the services of Marketing and Communications, we have put together this collection of resources, which outlines what we do, the procedures for creating a publication, and the varied resources available to help you communicate your message.
