Area one is academic counseling. Services are provided in the areas of academic planning, career planning, personal counseling, and campus and community referrals.

Area two is academic advising. In an effort to ease the demand on the Office of Advisement, the UTP aca- demic counselor also advises firstyear and undecided studentathletes.

Hofstra players and staff also lend their time and efforts to charitable and educational causes. Each year, the Hofstra team brings their special touch of cheer to children who are hospital- ized. The players and coaches have visited St. Mary’s Hospital for Children in Bayside, New York several times in recent years. They have brought gifts, spent time with patients, and played games with them to boost their spirits. The visits have been so successful that the Pride have hosted many patients at the annual Blue-White spring football game at Hofstra Stadium. Hofstra players have also been involved with the Special Olympics, volunteering at several events.

On the educational side, Hofstra Football and the Walnut Street School in Uniondale, New York, have instituted the Book Buddies program. Throughout the school year Hofstra players go to the school and work with the elementary school students in the areas of academis and life skills. The players and staff are also frequent speakers at grammar schools, junior high schools
