Even though Jim Metzger only reconnected with Hofstra University in 2007, he quickly made a big impact for Hofstra Athletics. It has been recently announced that Metzger has made a $1.5 million commitment to support Hofstra Athletics.

On Sunday, a dedication ceremony took place to honor the life of Hofstra alumna and famed singer/song writer Ellie Greenwich and the new garden and park area dedicated to her beside the New Academic Building.

This week, finishing touches are being made to the garden and park area beside the New Academic Building, which the family of the famed singer-songwriter and Hofstra Alumna Ellie Greenwich is donating in honor of her memory.
