Alumni Relations Office

Alumni Relations Office
The Office of Alumni Relations at Hostos Community College of the City University of New York was founded in July 2003. Among the Hostos alumni are thousands of men and women who are making important contributions to society in the areas of health services, business, communication, education and many other fields. The Alumni Relations Office encourages all Hostos graduates to stay in touch with the College and to become part of a vast network of professionals who have demonstrated their interest in the college, its faculty and students.

Alumni Speakers Bureau
The Alumni Speakers Bureau (ASB) recruits graduates to give motivational talks to Hostos students and members of the community at large in a variety of fields, including education, health, legal, business, arts and entertainment.

If you are interested in volunteering, please contact the Alumni Relations Office. We encourage Hostos alumni to join the Alumni Speakers Bureau as a service to the college and the community. Speakers share the impact of Hostos on their academic and professional lives while inspiring and motivating those who dream of earning a college degree.
