The Hofstra Advertising Club was established in 1999. It provides professional enrichment for students outside the classroom through bi-weekly meetings with guest speakers from the advertising industry. The club focuses on four pillars: professional events and networking, university events, volunteerism and philanthropy, and social activities. Students of all majors are welcome to get involved by attending meetings, participating in events, or becoming a club officer.
