Hofstra University

Students from the Hofstra School of Health Professions and Human Services (HPHS) traveled to Albany for Occupational Therapy (OT) Advocacy Day on Tuesday, March 5, 2024.

"Punishment for the Failed Criminal," a paper by philosophy major Evan Lopes '23, has been published in the undergraduate philosophy journal Ephermeris. In the piece, Lopes analyzes the similarities and differences between successful criminal acts and attempted but failed criminal acts. The measure of punishment for each should be the same, he argues. Whether or not there was resulting harm is incidental.

Established in 1997 by Hofstra's Axinn Library faculty, this award recognizes and rewards excellence in research and writing by graduating seniors.
