This year, the Hofstra Discovery Program will welcome its 6th
class of excited incoming first year and transfer students on Saturday, August
23rd. The Discovery Program is a dynamic and interactive program for
students who wish to be actively engaged through advocacy, community service,
outdoor recreation and service. One of the benefits of participating in
the Discovery Program is being able to experience what Hofstra University has
to offer through early campus involvement. Upon checking in, students
will be welcomed by outgoing and excited Discovery Leaders who will be there to
help the students transition as they embark on this new journey. Our
Discovery Leaders are all previous Discovery students who once stood in the
very same shoes as our new students. Our leaders are so excited to meet
Hofstra’s incoming Discovery students. We spoke with two of our DiscoveryLeaders about what they are looking forward to most about this year’s Discovery
Program.
Here’s what they had to say:
“As
we draw closer to the start of the Discovery Program, I can’t help but feel
excited. Something about being back on campus, and the chance to welcome new
students to our community at Hofstra is something that I am really looking
forward to. There is nothing more satisfying than knowing my time is going to
make a difference in this group of new students lives, and knowing that we as
Discovery Leaders are helping lead students down a path of service, commitment,
and involvement around campus. From my experience with Discovery, my friends and I who
participated in the program were some of the most involved people on campus. We
got involved with clubs, jobs, TA positions, and more, and I really look
forward to seeing the newest group of students take on positions around campus
as well. I can’t wait to see everyone, and look forward to meeting the newest
addition to Hofstra University.” – Alexander Cain, Discovery Class of 2013
“I am most looking forward to providing the students with
opportunities to get involved with community service. I am also excited to see
the friendships that are created and to watch them grow throughout the year. We're getting close and I am very excited!!!!!!!!!” – George
Calvo, Discovery Class of 2012
