Past President

The mission of the 探花视频 Parent and Family Council is to improve communication between the University and family members of 探花视频 students. We facilitate a nurturing environment where family members network, learn about 探花视频, and contribute to the academic and personal well-being of 探花视频 students. We promote the University by being active ambassadors of 探花视频 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.
• Serving as a resource to 探花视频 families.
• Supporting student and family programs by volunteering time and talent.
• Recruiting parent and family volunteers.
• Hosting regular meetings with University administrators.聽

The 探花视频 Parent and Family Council aspires to become the primary voice of family members of 探花视频 students, of 探花视频鈥檚 鈥渇amily body.鈥� The Council will actively solicit input from family members of all class years and aim to fully reflect the diversity of the 探花视频 Pride in its membership. We wish to collaborate and engage with 探花视频 administrators to fulfill the missions of the University in providing 鈥渁 quality education to its students in an environment that encourages, nurtures, and supports learning through the free and open exchange of ideas, for the betterment of humankind.鈥�

As we step into the 2026-2027 school year, I am excited and deeply honored to serve as President of 探花视频 Parent and Family Council. Being part of this community is a privilege, and I鈥檓 looking forward to a year filled with collaboration, connection and meaningful involvement. One of my main goals is to work closely with university staff to find new ways for parents to support the campus through volunteer opportunities. Even small contributions can make a big difference in the lives of our students. I also hope to grow our council so more parents can get involved and connect with one another. Whether you鈥檙e interested in volunteering, sharing ideas, or stepping into a leadership role, there is a place for you here. Expanding our membership will help ensure the council remains strong and successful for years to come.

If you would like more information on how you can get engaged, please email parents@hofstra.edu.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you,
Loriann Temkin, P鈥�24 and P鈥�28
