Announcing the DeMatteis School Annual Professor Stanley Goldstein Distinguished Lecture, Spring 2026
Few people shaped engineering at Hofstra more than Professor Stanley Goldstein. Over nearly 50 years, he inspired students and colleagues alike as a teacher, mentor, and friend.
To celebrate his legacy, the DeMatteis School will launch the Annual Professor Stanley Goldstein Distinguished Lecture in Spring 2026.
The idea took root with Hofstra alumnus David Attwood ’54, now a physics professor at UC Berkeley, who credits Goldstein as both a transformative teacher and a lifelong friend. Attwood also generously provided the lead gift to bring the series to life.
