The Hofstra University Center for Career Design and Development acknowledges the many injustices, systemic racism and inequities that are pervasive in our culture. Equity of opportunity and career advancement are social justice issues, and we are committed to empowering students of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences (including and not limited to gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, religion, immigration status, nationality, socioeconomic status and disability).

The Center for Career Design & Development is dedicated to educating ourselves, our students and our employer-partners about the benefits of diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace, and throughout our lives. We stand firmly in our commitment to:

· provide equal access to employment and internship opportunities for all students and alumni;

· partner with organizations that have strong commitments to diversity while offering equitable and inclusive recruiting practices, performance management and leadership development programs;

· help students explore, prepare and execute a successful career plan that builds upon their unique abilities, passions and backgrounds.

We believe our students’ talents shine because of their differences, and we facilitate meaningful connections between our students and our employer partners as they create a recruiting pipeline that is grounded in inclusive excellence.
