President’s Message
T
his is perhaps the most exciting academic year ever on Hofstra’s campus,
as we prepare to host the third and nal presidential debate of the 2008
election season on October 15, and again present Educate ’08, our
unprecedented series of lectures, conferences, exhibitions and events focused
on the presidency, history, politics and social issues. For the fall Educate ’08
series, we host nationally known gures such as Robert Rubin and Paul O’Neill,
George Stephanopoulos, Dee Dee Myers and Ari Fleischer, Mario Cuomo and
the Council on Foreign Relations’ Richard Haass, and many other scholars,
journalists and policymakers. The Center for Civic Engagement presents its
sixth Day of Dialogue, with nearly 50 sessions on critical issues of the day for
Democracy in Performance, a live performance featuring actors portraying
historic gures.
Many of our academic departments and centers, such as the Peter S. Kalikow
Center for the Study of the American Presidency, the National Center for
Suburban Studies, and Hofstra Entertainment, will also present events with a
presidential theme. The Hofstra Cultural Center’s popular Joseph G. Astman
International Concert Series features All American Music, while the Hofstra
Cultural Center joins the Hofstra University Museum in presenting a reunion of
the directors of Hofstra’s series of renowned presidential conferences for On the
Record: A Hofstra Presidential Conference Retrospective.
In addition to our exciting political series, the Hofstra Cultural Center and
the academic departments continue to present a variety of lectures, concerts,
dramatic performances and events that will engage and delight the entire Hofstra
and surrounding communities. The Institute for the Development of Education
in the Advanced Sciences continues its commitment to the public discussion of
science with events such as Galileo’s Muse – An Evening of Music and Physics,
while the Italian-American Lecture Series considers Politics, Italian Style:
1922-2008.
The Hofstra Cultural Center hosts a series of excellent scholarly conferences
this fall, leading up to The Greatest: From Cassius Clay to Muhammad Ali.
This November conference will be accompanied by several events, including
the Drama Department’s presentation of The Great White Hope and the Hofstra
Museum’s Art Talk lecture Float Like a Buttery: Muhammad Ali as African-
American Icon.
The Drama Department’s fall performance schedule features favorites such as
Footloose, while showcasing artistic works such as Electricidad, a resonant
updating of Sophocles’ Electra by MacArthur “Genius” Award winner Luis
Alfaro. The Hofstra Music Department, as always, has a full schedule of opera,
orchestra and musical performances.
It is an extraordinary year here at Hofstra University, and our faculty and
administration have been hard at work to ensure that 2008 is a year that our
community will never forget. I look forward to seeing you at these outstanding
events.
Sincerely,
Stuart Rabinowitz
President

Microbial Chitchat: Silent Conversations That Move the World
Within the last decade, it has become clear that micro-organisms engage in cell-to-cell
communication. Surprisingly, some of these signals are antibiotic-like in nature, while
others stimulate the production of antimicrobial compounds by bacteria. This has
contributed to the development of the hypothesis that in nature, antibiotics are used as a
means of communication. The possibility that interference with molecular signaling may
be a new approach in the development of therapeutic agents will also be discussed.

Women Over 50 in Transition: The Path to Change
in cooperation with
Life often signals us that it is time to move on – sometimes subtly, sometimes more
directly. A change in one’s life situation can be brought on by death or divorce, letting go
of a dream, or a new career direction that is imposed, as in layoffs, or self-initiated, as
retirement beckons. Change forces us to leave our comfort zones as we explore life’s
challenges and possibilities. How we perceive this nuanced and mysterious time
determines how we proceed through it. In this dynamic interactive workshop, led
by Andrea Gould, Ph.D., you will explore the life transition on your own horizon and
learn how to graciously rise to its challenge.
Date/Time: Saturday, November 1, 1:30-4:30 p.m.
