Pride suffer first CAA loss to Charleston

Jan 13, 2025 | thehofstrachronicle.com | Michelle Rabinovich

The College of Charleston’s offense was just a notch too good for the Hofstra University women’s basketball team in their first loss in conference play, 64-51, on Friday, Jan. 11. “Tough game for us,” said Hofstra’s head coach Danielle Santos Atkinson. “They are very aggressive, which we knew, they’re very intense defensively, we knew they were going to press us for 40 minutes.

A first look at ‘Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage’ – The Hofstra Chronicle

Nov 20, 2024 | thehofstrachronicle.com | Paige Sanacora

The television series “Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage” is a spin-off of a series that is already a prequel, something that typically does not draw in an audience. With sitcom mastermind Chuck Lorre behind the third installment of the franchise “The Big Bang Theory,” and bringing back many fan favorites from the prequel “Young Sheldon,” it seemed like the show would likely live up to the expectations placed on it … right? Not quite.
Pro: Shakespeare teaches valuable lessons — The Hofstra Chronicle

Apr 23, 2024 | thehofstrachronicle.com | Tim Daly

One could argue that it’s not relevant to how people speak today because it’s written in Early Modern English, or that reading a play isn’t as worthwhile as watching one. While Shakespeare’s works can be challenging, the idea that they aren’t useful as texts due to their different language style is shortsighted.
Personal Essay: What earning the Presidential Service Award taught me — The Hofstra Chronicle

Apr 9, 2024 | thehofstrachronicle.com | Matthew Adarichev

In March 2023, I stepped into a soup kitchen in Hempstead for the first time, hoping that some volunteer work would be a revitalizing breath of fresh air from the typical rhythm of college life. Only one year later, I visited the Long Island Ethical Humanist Society to receive our nation’s highest federal volunteer service award: the gold-level President’s Volunteer Service Award, given for 250 hours of volunteer service within a one-year time period.
The residential side of campus isn’t up to snuff — The Hofstra Chronicle

Mar 12, 2024 | thehofstrachronicle.com | Tom Norman

Photo courtesy of Hofstra University ResLifeWhen touring Hofstra for the first time, I remember wondering what the dorms looked like. There was this mystique to it. What could be over there? What was hiding just beyond the Unispan? I had to know. It turns out, there’s a good reason they don’t always show you any dorms on tour: Hofstra University’s Achilles’ heel is how drab and boring the residential portion of campus is. There are a multitude of reasons for this.
Satanism is a legitimate belief system — The Hofstra Chronicle

Mar 12, 2024 | thehofstrachronicle.com | Tim Daly

Photo courtesy of Marc Nozell via FlickrMuch of society thinks of Satanists as child-sacrificing, blood-drinking Illuminati members, but real Satanists are more concerned with autonomy than any pentagram worship or ritualistic sacrifice. Whether Satanism is a religion partly depends on your definition of a religion, and if it needs worship or spiritual beliefs to be considered one. Regardless, Satanism is a legitimate belief system that is unfairly opposed and mischaracterized by the public.
Substances shouldn’t supplement one’s own creativity — The Hofstra Chronicle

Feb 6, 2024 | thehofstrachronicle.com | Tim Daly

Photo courtesy of freestocks on UnsplashDespite all the negative presumptions that exist around substance use, there is a persistent idea that substance use makes people more creative that is deeply ingrained in our society, especially in the art world. This notion comes from the numerous artists who are famously users of drugs, leading people to conclude that the common correlation between the two is actually causation.
If the NBA is rigged, I couldn’t care less — The Hofstra Chronicle

Feb 6, 2024 | thehofstrachronicle.com | Tim Daly

Terrill/APFor years, conspiratorial-minded NBA fans and even players have talked about the NBA being rigged through claims of biased refereeing and conspiracies about the NBA draft lottery being fixed. While the NBA is not faked like the WWE, where players know about and contribute to predetermined results, many believe that the league has its ways of impacting the results through biased refereeing in playoff games.
