In this special commencement edition of Hofstra Campus Conversations, President Susan Poser sits down with members of the Class of 2026 to reflect on their journeys, accomplishments, and what lies ahead. Just days before graduation, these students share how their Hofstra experiences, both in and out of the classroom, have shaped their ambitions and perspectives.
From exploring sustainability in the music industry and building careers through alumni connections, to advancing representation in nursing, leading student government, and breaking into the world of professional sports media, each story highlights the power of involvement, curiosity, and community.
The conversation also offers candid advice for incoming students—embracing opportunity, avoiding comparison, stepping outside your comfort zone, and finding your place on campus.
It’s a celebration of growth, resilience, and the Hofstra spirit as the Class of 2026 prepares to take its next steps.
