What is the Senior Class Gift?
This enduring tradition invites seniors to give back to Hofstra in support of undergraduate education. Senior Class Gift recognizes and celebrates the achievements of Hofstra seniors, encourages and teaches students to give back to their alma mater and increases the value of their Hofstra degree. This is not just a senior event—it’s a commitment that begins a lifetime of involvement with Hofstra, and is the first step in the transition from student to alumnus/a.
Why should I give?
Making a gift will help the Class of 2026 leave its legacy for years to come. Senior Class Gift helps the University to attract the best and brightest students through scholarships and financial aid, expand academic offerings, recruit and support accomplished faculty and staff, and enhance classrooms and other campus facilities with the latest technologies.
What do I give?
Graduating seniors are asked to make a gift of $20.26 or more in honor of the senior class. As a special thank you, any student who gives $20.26 or more will receive a commemorative philanthropy cord to be worn at commencement.
