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
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
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
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
