In the spirit of the fast approaching Thanksgiving festivities, I
would be remiss in not expressing how fortunate the Hofstra community is to
have such a lively and interactive campus. On any given day, you can stumble
upon an executive speaker at a Frank G. Zarb Business School event, a Common
Hour Compliment on a Random Acts of Kindness Day, or find forty students
doing organized yoga on the Quad. But sometimes, the students and larger
community of Hofstra are fortunate enough to welcome a particularly special
guest to our campus. This week, Hofstra is a buzz with the forward looking
Thanksgiving break, the Men’s Basketball game versus Stony Brook, the Indian
Festival of Lights, and another particularly exciting event. Tonight at 6:00
p.m., Pride PALS and the rest of the Hofstra community welcome Maysoon Zayid,
writer, actress, and hilarious standup comedian, to the Monroe Lecture Hall
stage.
