History of Hofstra

I

n 1912 William Hofstra had booked passage on the Titanic for his return voyage from Europe. However, a business proposition in Canada forced him to change his plans. Instead he took a ship to Halifax, and the events of his personal history took their rightful course. The Hofstras enjoyed a lifestyle filled with social engagements, travel and business ventures. The society pages and gossip columns of the local papers such as the Hempstead Sentinel as well as papers such as The New York Times reported on these events on a continuous basis.

From 1894 through the 1930s, both Mr. and Mrs. Hofstra appeared in print for participation in charity events, departures for vacations, hosting wedding receptions at their estate, and attendance at various recreational activities.

By 1903 the Hofstras had purchased a 15-acre parcel of land in Hempstead. The land was in the vicinity of such estates as those owned by Edwin Morgan, August Belmont, Mrs. Jane Kernochan, O.W. Bird, and others. Mr. Howard Brower, William Hofstra’s business partner, called the homesite “a hayfield with a small house.” A year earlier, William had purchased the J.K. Van Wranken estate for $12,000 in order to run the Nassau Lumber Company. The Hofstras decided to build a home on their land and hired architects H. Craig Severance and Wellington Ward.

Severance was both a noted architect and promoter of buildings. He was only 25 when he and Wellington Ward designed the Hofstra home, which later became known as “The Netherlands,” recognizing William’s Dutch ancestry.

During the early 1900s and the Progressive era, women who were socialites looked for “good works,” or projects that contributed to the social good. Mrs. Minnie Maddern Fiske, who was a stage actress known as the “First Lady of the American Stage,” was also internationally recognized for her work to prevent cruelty to animals. Mrs. Fiske gave a special performance in New York to help establish the Bide-A-Wee Home for Animals. Kate Hofstra was present at the performance and became the first vice president of this organization. For more than 30 years, Mrs. Hofstra continued her association with Bide-A-Wee, as she raised countless funds for the organization. She also left Bide-A-Wee a sizeable sum in her will.

Mr. Hofstra is noted as being a director of the Diamond Head Match Company, as well as a director of Price Brothers, a Canadian manufacturer of lumber, building supplies and pulp paper. According to a descendant of Sir William Price, the founder of the company, Mr. Hofstra was the largest shareholder of Price Brothers stock outside of family members. William Hofstra continued to serve as the New York director of the Price Brothers firm, and he had offices in midtown New York. The Hofstras attended many events in New York and stayed at the Ritz or other upscale New York hotels for periods of time.

When Mr. Hofstra died in 1932, he left his estate in his wife’s hands. When she died just over a year later, she made a variety of small gifts to charities and friends, but left the bulk of the property and estate to be used for charitable, scientific or humanitarian purposes, to be named in honor of William. It was up to two friends, Mr. Howard Brower and Mr. James Barnard, to decide what to do with the estate. Another Hempstead resident, Truesdel Peck Calkins, remarked to Mr. Brower that he had been looking for a site to start an institution of higher education, and the three men agreed it would be an appropriate use of the estate. Mr. Calkins approached the administration at New York University, and they were extremely interested. Initially called Nassau College – Hofstra Memorial of New York University, the college was founded as a coeducational, commuter institution with day and evening classes.

The first day of classes was September 23, 1935, and the first class of students was made up of 159 day and 621 evening students. Tuition for the entire year was $375. The college obtained a provisional charter, and its official name was changed to Hofstra College on January 16, 1937. Hofstra College separated from New York University in 1939 and was granted an absolute charter on February 16, 1940.

Hofstra’s seal was created by Professor of Art Constant van de Wall in 1937. The insignia was derived from the official seal of the House of Orange of the Netherlands and is used with the permission of the Crown. At the bottom of the seal are the words, “Je Maintiendray,” meaning “I stand steadfast” in Old French. By 1938 the alma mater was written by Hans J. Gottlieb, an instructor of English.

In 1939 Hofstra had its first four-year commencement, graduating a class of 83 students. The earliest graduates had strong feelings for the new institution, and although they were allowed to choose whether they would receive degrees from New York University or Hofstra, they overwhelmingly chose Hofstra degrees. Academic recognition of Hofstra was affirmed when the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools accepted Hofstra for membership on November 22, 1940. Early in 1941 the college was elected to membership in the American Association of Colleges.

With the advent of World War II, major changes occurred on campus. The armed services and war industries on Long Island brought about a major decline in the size of the student body, and varsity sports were suspended for this period as well. When the war ended, record enrollments returned, thanks to the returning GIs and the GI Bill. In 1945 and 1946 intercollegiate sports resumed, and wrestling was introduced as a new sport in 1946, giving Hofstra its first undefeated team. In 1950 Calkins Gymnasium was the site of the first Shakespeare Festival. It was performed on a five-sixths-sized replica of the Globe Theatre.

With the approval of the New York State Board of Regents, Hofstra became Long Island’s first private university on March 1, 1963. Also in that year, the Board of Trustees passed a resolution that launched the effort to make Hofstra architecturally barrier-free for individuals with physical disabilities, stating that all students should have access to higher education. Although this later became federal law, Hofstra was recognized as a pioneer in this regard. Other forward-thinking programs and events followed, including the New Opportunities at Hofstra (NOAH) program, which was established the following year.

In 1963 Mitchel Air Force Base was closed by the military and was declared surplus property. The University asked for acreage to be used for educational purposes and was eventually granted 110 acres. Construction soon began on the North Campus, which included Hofstra’s first residence halls. Two towers were completed in 1966, two more in 1967, and by 1968 there were six towers, a Student Center, and a span across the Turnpike, which fed into an award-winning library building. The University reorganized its divisions into “schools” in the 1960s, with the School of Education being formed in 1964, and the Schools of Business and Continuing Education in 1965. Hofstra was authorized by the Board of Regents to offer its first doctoral degrees in 1966. In 1968 the Hofstra stadium added the first outdoor installation of Astroturf in the East, and the New York Jets became affiliated with the University, as the North Campus became home to the New York Jets’ summer training center for the next 40 years, until the team moved to its new complex in New Jersey.

Although the late 1960s and early 1970s were a period of student unrest, Hofstra was spared much of the violence that occurred at other educational institutions. Matters were settled peacefully here, and as a result, changes were made in both academic programming and in student life.

By 1970 Hofstra established the School of Law, and the first class was admitted in September of that year. In 1973 a Phi Beta Kappa charter was granted to Hofstra. During the recession of the 1970s, and because of declining enrollments, Hofstra was forced to respond by cutting back its staff. As a result, administrative changes took place, and the first imperative was to reestablish a balanced budget. The turnaround in enrollment came in fall 1976 and included students from a great diversity of geographic, economic and ethnic backgrounds. Hofstra was well on its way to becoming more of a nationally and internationally recognized educational institution. In 1981 Hofstra was publicly acclaimed as the first private university in the United States to achieve the goal of making all of the University’s programs and activities architecturally barrier-free, and in 1984 the University hosted the International Games for the Disabled. What had begun as a resolution adopted by the Board of Trustees in 1963, became part of campus life, as each new building was and is designed to accommodate those with physical disabilities.

By the 1980s, the University hosted more than 500 cultural events annually, including art shows, film festivals, seminars, concerts, drama and dance programs, and both national and international conferences. One of the most successful and prestigious events has been the Hofstra Cultural Center’s Presidential Conference series, which began with an examination of the administrations of U.S. presidents since Hofstra’s founding. Presidents who have visited the campus include Dwight D. Eisenhower, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, George H. Bush, William Jefferson Clinton, and Barack Obama, either for these conferences, or for honors or campaign visits.

Hofstra University has consistently provided students with state-of-the-art facilities, whether it was for studying broadcast journalism or participating in intercollegiate sports. The Television Institute was established in the spring of 1986; James M. Shuart Stadium was the first outdoor stadium in the country to receive Balsam Turf in 1988; and Breslin Hall, a building dedicated to classrooms, was completed in 1990. By 1993 a bird sanctuary was created on the North Campus, while outdoor sculpture was placed in select areas on both the North and South Campuses. In the 1990s Hofstra continued to update its curriculum and add courses for its students, including the establishment of the School of Communication in 1995 and the School for University Studies in 1996.

In 2005 the School of Communication celebrated its 10th year as a college at Hofstra University, while Hofstra University Honors College celebrated the graduation of its first class. The highlight of 2005, which included the involvement of all areas of the University, was the 11th presidential conference, William Jefferson Clinton: The “New Democrat” From Hope. In a fascinating 80-minute speech, President Clinton himself offered a critique of his administration and record before an audience of nearly 5,000 students, scholars and Hofstra community members.

The 2006-2007 academic year included many landmark events and programs. The year began with a symposium that explored how the tragic events of September 11, 2001, have forever changed our world, as well as a series of lectures and concerts celebrating the 250th anniversary of the birth of Mozart. Hofstra’s Center for Civic Engagement launched a variety of inaugural events geared toward encouraging students to be aware and active citizens. There were faculty installation ceremonies for the newly created Kalikow Chair in Presidential Studies and the Monsignor Thomas J. Hartman Chair in Catholic Studies.

In November 2007 the Commission on Presidential Debates announced the selection of Hofstra as the site of the third and final presidential debate. Hofstra’s was the first presidential debate to take place at a New York college. That announcement precipitated 11 busy months of preparations as well as the launch of an innovative program titled Educate ’08, which brought to campus a variety of high-profile speakers to discuss various political issues. The subsequent debate between then Senator Barack Obama and Senator John McCain on October 15, 2008, put Hofstra on the global stage. The advent of the debate brought thousands of guests to campus, including more than 3,000 members of the media.

In October 2007 Hofstra President Stuart Rabinowitz announced plans to open a medical school on the Hofstra campus in partnership with North Shore-LIJ Health System. The proposed School of Medicine took a major step forward in March 2008 when the joint agreement was finalized between Hofstra and North Shore-LIJ and the appointment of a dean, Lawrence G. Smith, MD, was announced.

In March 2008 President Rabinowitz announced that his Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, was the first recipient of Hofstra’s international Guru Nanak Interfaith Prize. The prize, which recognizes efforts to facilitate interfaith dialogue, was established through an endowment from the family of Ishar Singh Bindra.

Other newsworthy events included the expansion of Hofstra’s Center for Suburban Studies into The National Center for Suburban Studies at Hofstra University®; the launch of the Wilbur F. Breslin Center for Real Estate Studies; the opening of NewsHub, a state-of-the-art converged newsroom and multimedia classroom; the 60th anniversary of the Hofstra Shakespeare Festival; and the faculty installation of the Sardani Kuljit Kaur Bindra Chair in Sikh Studies.

On June 25, 2009, the Middle States Commission on Higher Education acted to reaffirm Hofstra’s accreditation and to expressly “commend the institution for progress to date and for the quality of the self-study process.”

This very complimentary report acknowledged the hard work that the entire community invested in the self-study, as well as the commitment and dedication of the community to ensuring that Hofstra continues to enhance the excellent educational experience it provides to students.

In addition to the Middle States reaccreditation, the University successfully obtained seven reaccreditations in 2009: AACSB International — The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business accreditation for the Zarb School of Business as well as the Department of Accounting, Taxation and Legal Studies in Business; ABA accreditation for the School of Law; ARC-PA accreditation for the Physician Assistant Studies Program; accreditations for the Hofstra University Museum and Diane Lindner-Goldberg Child Care Institute; and TEAC (Teacher Education Accreditation Council) accreditation for the School of Education. The University also successfully received NCAA recertification.

On September 23, 2010, Hofstra began a yearlong celebration of its 75th anniversary — 75 years of academic excellence, growth, community, service, scholarship, success, and, most especially, Hofstra Pride and Purpose.

Hofstra University kicked off its diamond celebration with exciting events, including the 75th Anniversary Convocation, Hofstra’s birthday party, a comedy show featuring Jimmy Fallon, fireworks spectacular, and the Live at 75 Festival.

In recent years Hofstra University has enjoyed continued success. In 2011 the Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine at Hofstra University, the first allopathic medical school in Nassau County and the first new medical school in the New York metropolitan area in more than 35 years, welcomed its inaugural class of students. In October 2011 the Commission on Presidential Debates chose Hofstra University as the site for its October 16, 2012, presidential debate – making it one of only two schools to host back-to-back debates since the modern debate system was created. This historic experience allowed students and faculty to once again witness the democratic process firsthand, and showcased the University to a national and international audience. Hofstra also established a School of Engineering and Applied Science (adding prominence to both engineering and computer science) and a School of Health Sciences and Human Services (bringing new focus and energy to the University’s health sciences programs).

In addition, the law school was named the Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University, after Maurice A. Deane’s transformative naming gift valued at $20 million – marking the largest commitment in Hofstra history.

Dr. Eboo Patel, president and founder of Interfaith Youth Core, was the recipient of Hofstra’s international 2012 Guru Nanak Interfaith Prize. In 2013 the School of Communication was named The Lawrence Herbert School of Communication after distinguished alumnus Lawrence Herbert, inventor of the Pantone® Matching System®, to honor his generous support of the University and his revolutionary impact on print and design.

When Hofstra’s doors opened on September 23, 1935, 19 faculty in four programs of study taught a few hundred students in one building, Hofstra Hall. Few would have predicted Hofstra’s tremendous growth. Today, about 11,000 students – with nearly 300 undergraduate and graduate program options from which to choose – learn from nearly 500 full-time faculty on our 240-acre campus. Our faculty are leading scholars in their disciplines, and our more than 126,000 alumni are experiencing great success in their chosen careers.

Just as commencement is the celebration of continued academic and professional growth for our students, Hofstra University continues to grow and evolve to meet the needs of a new generation of students.

Commencement Notes THE FLAG

The Hofstra flag, bearing the seal of the University, was presented to Hofstra on April 19, 1940, by Dr. Alexander Loudon, envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary, in the name of Her Majesty, Wilhelmina, queen of the Netherlands. The seal is derived from the coat of arms of the House of Orange-Nassau. The motto, “Je maintiendray,” means “I stand steadfast.”

THE CEREMONIAL MACE

The ceremonial mace, carried by the grand marshals in the academic procession, was given to Hofstra by Halsted Billings Vander Poel, son of former Trustee W. Halsted Vander Poel.

The mace is made of silver with a shaft of ebony. Its design is based upon one of the oldest maces of Yale University, dating from the time of Queen Anne. Engraved upon the head is the Hofstra seal. Around the upper portion of the haft appears the quotation from the Book of Proverbs: “The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the Lord hath made even both of them.”

The history of the mace in ceremonies begins in the 13th century when ceremonial maces were borne by the sergeant at arms, a royal bodyguard established in France by Phillip II and in England by Richard I. When used in our Commencement Exercises, its presence symbolizes the authority by which commencement is held and under which degrees are granted.

THE MARSHALS’ SCAPULARS The marshals in today’s academic procession are wearing specially designed scapulars of their offices. The scapulars draw their basic characteristics from the official seal of the University. Each is designed against a background of silver thread, laid with gold lace and embroidered threads of red, blue and green, the colors of the Hofstra seal.

The scapular of the grand marshal carries the University seal in full color as the breastplate. The breastplates of the other marshals are linked with other significant sections of the seal. The badges of the trustee and guest marshal, faculty marshal, and graduate marshal carry four, three, or two tassels of gold, in order of rank, while the scapulars of the highest rank, grand marshal, and the baccalaureate marshal are without tassels. Assistant marshals carry batons.

THE GONFALONS

Of the 11 gonfalons, three of the fishtail ensigns plus the Hofstra seal were first presented in University ceremonies during the dedication of the Hofstra Library in 1967. The gonfalon for the Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University was added in 1970, followed by the Hofstra University Libraries gonfalon in 1993, The Lawrence Herbert School of Communication gonfalon in 1996, the School for University Studies gonfalon in 1997, the Honors College gonfalon in 2001, the Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine at Hofstra University gonfalon in 2009, and the School of Engineering and Applied Science and the School of Health Sciences and Human Services gonfalons, both dedicated in 2013.

The history of the ceremonial use of gonfalons seems lost in antiquity. Probably best remembered is their appearance at the head of the parades of the Crusades where they presented the coats of arms of legion commanders. The gonfalons of Hofstra carry the seals of the colleges and schools of the University.

The seal of Hofstra is worked in threads of gold, silver, red, blue and green against a background of white silk, derived from the great seal of the House of Orange-Nassau, and is at the center of the stage. (See note under “The Flag,” on page 7.)

The gonfalons are displayed from left to right.

The gonfalon of Hofstra College of Liberal Arts and Sciences carries the seal of the province of Friesland, the original home of the Hofstra family. The fishtail below the seal has the colors of Hofstra, blue and gold, at the left and right, and the colors of the college, white for arts and gold for sciences, through the center.

The gonfalon of the School of Education carries the seal of the province of Groningen. The colors of Hofstra, blue and gold, trim the gonfalon, while the light blue of education is the center color.

The gonfalon of the Frank G. Zarb School of Business carries the seal of the province of Gelderland. The University colors of blue and gold trim the gonfalon, with the traditional “drab” filling the center stripe of the fishtail.

The gonfalon of the Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University carries the seal of Noord Brabant province, is trimmed in the University colors of blue and gold, and carries a band of purple through the center to indicate law.

The gonfalon of the Hofstra University Libraries carries the seal of the province of Rotterdam.

University colors of blue and gold trim the gonfalon. The center area carries the colors of all the colleges and schools and is overlaid with a band of lemon yellow, representing the discipline of library science.

The gonfalon of The Lawrence Herbert School of Communication carries the seal of the province of Arnhem. The University colors of blue and gold trim a center panel of crimson representing communication.

The seal on the gonfalon for the School for University Studies comes from the Dutch municipality of Apeldoorn in the province of Gelderland. The white center symbolizes the arts and letters. The adjacent strips of blue and gold represent the colors of Hofstra University, and the border of red and blue is reminiscent of the colors of the flag of the modern state of the Netherlands.

The gonfalon of Hofstra University Honors College adapts the seal of the Frisian town of Tytsjerksteradiel.

The gonfalon design uses the University colors in a traditional woven heraldic pattern representing the interrelationship of disciplines in Honors College.

The gonfalon of Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine at Hofstra University carries an emblem representing the “staff of Asclepius,” the traditional symbol of medicine. It is trimmed in green to represent the discipline of medicine, and carries bands of the University’s and North Shore-LIJ Health System’s colors.

The gonfalon of the School of Engineering and Applied Science carries the seal of the House of OrangeNassau coat of arms. University colors of blue and gold trim the gonfalon. The orange center represents the degrees conferred by the school.

The gonfalon of the School of Health Sciences and Human Services carries the seal of the province of Overijssel. The University colors of blue and gold trim the center panel of sage green representing health sciences and human services.

These badges of office and the gonfalons were designed and executed by Gabriel Jooris and family, working in cooperation with Robert D. Noble, former secretary of the University, 1954-1984. The Libraries gonfalon was designed by a committee of the Library staff under the direction of Dr. Charles R. Andrews, former dean of the Joan and Donald E. Axinn Library. It was dedicated in November 1993. The Lawrence Herbert School of Communication gonfalon was dedicated during the 1996 Commencement Exercises. The gonfalon for the School for University Studies was designed by David C. Christman, former dean of the School for University Studies, and dedicated in 1997. The gonfalon for Honors College was designed by Dr. J. Stephen Russell, former dean of Honors College, and dedicated in 2001. The gonfalon for the School of Medicine was designed by Dr. Herman A. Berliner, provost and senior vice president for academic affairs; Dr. Liora Pedhazur Schmelkin, senior vice provost for academic affairs and dean of graduate studies; and June E. Scarlett, dean for administration, Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine at Hofstra University.

It was dedicated in 2009. The School of Engineering and Applied Science gonfalon was designed by committee under the direction of Dr. Simon S. Ben-Avi, dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Science, and was dedicated in 2013. The School of Health Sciences and Human Services gonfalon was designed by committee under the direction of Dr. Ronald L. Bloom, acting dean of the School of Health Sciences and Human Services, and was dedicated in 2013.

ACADEMIC HERALDRY

The wearing of caps, gowns, and hoods at college and university functions dates to the Middle Ages, when they were first worn by monks and students for warmth in the damp and drafty 12th-century castles and halls of learning. Through the years, their styles and colors have come to represent certain specific meanings.

Gowns for the bachelor’s degree have a semistiff yoke, long pleated front, and intricate shirring across the shoulders and back. The bachelor’s gown is worn closed and is distinguished primarily by its long pointed sleeves.

The gown for the master’s degree has the same yoke effect as that of the bachelor’s, but is designed so that it may be worn open or closed. The back of the sleeve is oblong and cut square, with the front part carrying a cutaway arc.

Gowns for the doctoral degree may also be worn open or closed. They have long velvet panels down the front and three velvet bars on the bell-shaped sleeves. This velvet trimming may be either black or the color distinctive of the field of learning to which the degree pertains.

Members of the Hofstra University Board of Trustees wear academic robes and caps in the distinctive colors of the University. A small, embroidered replica of the seal of the University is worn on each lapel.

It is the hood that gives color and definitive meaning to the academic costume. The hood is of varying sizes for master’s and doctoral degrees and of material to match the gown. It is lined with the color or colors of the institution conferring the degree. The hood is bordered with velvet of the proper width and color to indicate the field of learning.*

Honorary Degree Recipients listed in alphabetical order

Will Allen Will Allen, founder and CEO of Growing Power Inc., is recognized as the pre-eminent practitioner of urban agriculture in America and the world.

Mr. Allen grew up on a small farm in Maryland. He became a standout basketball player in high school and went on to become the first African-American scholarship athlete at the University of Miami, and eventually the men’s basketball team captain, and still holds a number of Miami Hurricanes records. He graduated with a degree in education.

Will Allen was drafted in both the NBA and ABA. He played in the ABA for one year and then entered the European League, playing for Belgium. While living in Belgium, he reconnected with his farming roots by observing the intensive methods used on small plots by local farmers, and began applying those methods in a garden where he grew food for his family and teammates.

Upon returning to the United States, job opportunities brought him to Oak Creek, a suburb of Milwaukee, his wife’s hometown and site of her family farm. Eventually, however, Mr. Allen tired of corporate life and took over operation of the farm. In 1993, wanting a place to sell his produce, he located a vacant garden center with three acres on Milwaukee’s north side. As it turned out, the small property was the last tract in the city of Milwaukee still zoned for agriculture. He realized he could not only sell food from his own farm, but he could also grow food on-site in a neighborhood where there was little fresh food to be found. Before long, young people from the neighborhood, including kids who lived in the largest low-income public housing project in Milwaukee, began to ask him for advice and assistance with growing their own vegetables. Almost overnight, Will Allen took up the mantle of teacher and trainer, and the impromptu gathering of neighborhood children became the Youth Corps, a program that continues today. In 1995 Growing Power Inc. was born: a not-for-profit center for urban agriculture training and building community food security systems.

Today, Growing Power Inc. employs a staff of 65 and is involved in more than 70 projects and outreach programs in Milwaukee, across the United States, and throughout the world. Will Allen has trained and taught globally, and has plans in place to create community food centers in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Haiti.

Growing Power has set up 15 regional outreach training centers across the country.

In 2008 Mr. Allen was awarded the John D. and Katherine T. McArthur Foundation “Genius Grant” and named a McArthur Fellow – only the second farmer ever to be so honored. Additionally, Will Allen is a member of the Clinton Global Initiative, and on February 9, 2010, was one of four national spokesmen who stood with First Lady Michelle Obama at the White House to launch her “Let’s Move!” initiative to reverse the epidemic of childhood obesity by 2015.

Jared Kushner Jared Kushner is CEO of Kushner Companies, a diversified private real estate organization involved in the ownership, management, development and redevelopment of numerous properties. Mr. Kushner has completed more than $10 billion in real estate transactions since 2007, and has led the company through challenging times for the real estate industry into an era of remarkable growth by developing and managing new office and residential properties throughout the New York area.

As CEO, Jared Kushner oversees a portfolio consisting of 20,000 multifamily apartments and 9 million square feet of office, industrial and retail space across the country. Between 2010 and 2013, the company was one of the country’s most prolific buyers of multifamily apartments. Mr. Kushner has been very active in Soho, Downtown NYC and Brooklyn, developing office space for high-tech and creative tenants. Last year, Kushner Companies partnered with RFR Holding LLC to buy a $375 million six-building complex in Dumbo, and in conjunction with a third company, are planning on transforming the buildings into an office hub for tech and creative firms.

Mr. Kushner owns The Observer Media Group. Since 2006 he has grown the company into a true multimedia business that combines the voice and influence of The New York Observer with unique properties, such as websites BetaBeat, PolitickerNJ and Gallerist, which serve passionate, targeted audiences.

In conjunction with Mayor Bloomberg, Jared Kushner launched Wired NYC, a LEED certification system for broadband in buildings to create better information on broadband access to tenants looking for office space. In addition, Mr. Kushner sits on the boards of several technology companies that are focused on transforming the real estate industry, including Urban Compass, Honest Buildings, and 42 Floors.

Mr. Kushner is deeply involved with a number of charitable and public service organizations, including the Partnership for New York City, Museum of Jewish Heritage, National Young Leadership, and the Of Many Institute for Multifaith Leadership. He also serves as a mentor at the Harlem Village Academy.

In 2003 Jared Kushner graduated with honors from Harvard University, and was awarded a JD and an MBA from New York University in 2007.

Presidential Medal Recipient Judith A. Livingston, JD, ’79 Judith A. Livingston has long been one of the most successful plaintiff’s attorneys in the United States.

Reserved, methodical and precise, Ms. Livingston has been called “a legal legend” by Lawdragon. Since 1989 she has been a partner at the law firm of Kramer, Dillof, Livingston & Moore. She joined the firm as a young associate immediately after graduating from Hofstra Law School, and is proud to point out that she was introduced to the firm by the Law School’s placement office.

To date, Ms. Livingston has won 31 trials with verdicts in excess of $1 million, and has negotiated hundreds of settlements that have resulted in payments to her clients of almost a half-billion dollars. She specializes in medical malpractice and personal injury cases. In recognition of her trial skills, Judith Livingston was the first woman and youngest person in the United States admitted to the Inner Circle of Advocates – an invitation-only professional group limited to the top 100 trial lawyers in America.

Judith Livingston has the distinction of being named in Best Lawyers magazine for 2011 and 2013 as the New York Medical Malpractice “Lawyer of the Year.” She was cited by the National Law Journal as one of “40 lawyers who have made their mark in the area of health care law,” and she has been listed yearly by New York magazine and Super Lawyers magazine as one of the best lawyers in New York. New York magazine also cited her as one of the “50 most influential women lawyers in America.” In addition, in every listing since Lawdragon began recognizing the top 500 lawyers in the United States, Ms. Livingston has been selected as one of the country’s top lawyers.

A fellow of the International Academy of Trial Lawyers, Judith Livingston has participated in national lectures and seminars on subjects ranging from trial strategy to women in the courtroom. Ms. Livingston also sits on the board of directors of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association. She is a member of American College of Trial Lawyers, the International Society of Barristers, the Bar Association of the City of New York, the American Association of Justice, and the International Academy of Trial Lawyers.

From 2006 through 2009, Judith Livingston was co-president of the Judges and Lawyers Breast Cancer Alert (JALBCA.) Since 2009 she has served on the JALBCA board of directors, helping to educate women in the fight against breast cancer.

Ms. Livingston graduated with high honors from Stony Brook University, and received a JD in 1979 and an Honorary Doctor of Laws in 1998 from Hofstra University School of Law. Judith A. Livingston is married to fellow trial lawyer Thomas Moore. They have three children, the youngest of whom graduates from college this month.
