The mission of the Hofstra University Parent and Family Council is to improve communication between the University and family members of Hofstra students. We facilitate a nurturing environment where family members network, learn about Hofstra, and contribute to the academic and personal well-being of Hofstra students. We promote the University by being active ambassadors of Hofstra Pride.

This mission is fulfilled by:

• Providing a forum for parents and families to share new ideas and suggestions for improving student programs and services, like writing for the Family Connection blog and communicating with other Hofstra families.
• Serving as a resource to Hofstra families;
• Supporting student and family programs through fundraising and volunteering efforts;
• Serving on parent panels for admission and alumni events;
• Hosting regional Hofstra receptions;
• Recruiting parent volunteers;
• Hosting regular meetings for University administrators to share ideas with Parent and Family Council members.
