Celebration Every year, Hofstra celebrates the holidays with a tree lighting ceremony. Hofstra’s tree is one of the largest living Christmas trees on Long Island. Following the ceremony, all members of the campus community are invited to visit our holiday village, which is created by Hofstra students. Students also attend the annual Dutch, Irish and Italian Experience Festivals.

This year we celebrate 75 years of Hofstra University: 75 years of academic excellence, growth, community, service, scholarship, success, and most especially, Hofstra Pride and Purpose. Hofstra’s history encompasses the story of our great University as well as thousands of stories of individual achievement, of our students, friends, families, faculty and alumni.
