Hofstra Spec. Coll.

It's been gray and rainy recently, so we're glad we captured these pretty #autumn #hofviews (taken from Axinn Library) earlier in the week. Have a great weekend, @HofstraU! #Hofstra

Framed, mounted, and wrapped! That's how you do it! #HappyBirthday!

Happy birthday to the best colleague and friend that a person could ever have!!! #Hofstra @Hofstrau

Vice Dean for Administrative & User Services Sarah McCleskey led a fascinating presentation for Prof. Merrill’s Gender, Race, Sexuality & the Struggle for Women's Suffrage seminar yesterday. The students were fascinated by the materials from our collections. @HofstraU #Hofstra

Really enjoyed the "Love is the Message" exhibition tour @ the @HU_Museum on Wed. night! Dir. Sasha Giordano and Erik Sumner, community activist & Art Teacher, Northern Parkway Elementary School, Uniondale, gave a very insightful look into the life & photography of @JamelShabazz

Last week we had a super fun visit with Lynn Liotta, a consultant from the Freeport Historical Society & Museum. Here we all are checking out items from our #RaynorFamilyCollection & our #SmithWallaceFamilyCollection, both of which are Freeport related. #LongIsland #History

We processed this c.1860 carte-de-visite of Martha (“Mattie”) Valentine (Willets) Bowne over 15 years ago, but it was still the first photo to come to mind when we were thinking of something to post as a #FridayFavorite! #RushmoreFamilyCollection

With the B-52s and DEVO playing at Northwell Health at Jones Beach Theater on Sunday, we thought we’d throw it back to Nov. 1982, when the B-52s played @Hofstrau on a double bill with The Ramones!!! #Hofstra #TBT #ThrowbackThursday #BIG80s

Happy #flowerfriday, @Hofstrau! #FlowersOnFriday #Hofstra #flowers

Last week we attended the opening reception for Henry “King H.” Fuller’s amazing #DopeArt5 exhibition in @HofstraU’s Rosenberg Gallery. It was great to meet the artist and to catch up with Prof. Jim Lee. @dopeartbykingh #Hofstra #CalkinsHall

That smile says it all, Deb!!!

Congrats to all involved in making this happen, especially Deb Willett!!!

@RepTomSuozzi Way to go, Deb!!!

Who would have thought Tom Suozzi, Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Speaker Mike Johnson would all come together to honor Black soldiers from World War I? That’s exactly what happened today after Rep. Suozzi’s six-year long effort to honor the Harlem Hellfighters with the Congressional Gold Medal here at the Capitol in Emancipation Hall. It’s never too late to do the right thing!

X Yesterday, at a ceremony in Washington, D.C., our own Deb Willett accepted the #CongressionalGoldMedal on behalf of all the descendants of the #HarlemHellfighters (369th Infantry Regiment)...tinyurl.com/48hhrwx8 @Tom_Suozzi @RepTomSuozzi
