75th Anniversary Gala

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Hofstra chapter.

This year, Hofstra’s Annual Gala, an invite-only (or $400 a plate!) event, marked two special occasions: Hofstra’s 75th Anniversary… and Cinco de Mayo! Scores of Hofstra’s 75th items flooded the walls, ceilings and sculptures of the Arena, while students, faculty, alum and other Gala-goers enjoyed sangria (amongst other drinks) and Mexican au d’oeurves (and sushi!) for the holiday.

If you attended the event, send your pictures along to kaitlin@hercampus.com!

After college, she plans on pursuing a career in either entertainment public relations or magazine journalism.
