By Thomas Arnow — To have visited the number of TV newsrooms and offices we did today during the work day was really something else. Our day started at Viacom followed by NBC, where we received tours through both companies’ headquarters. On one of Viacom’s MTV floors, there is a hands-on display with various music…

by Amanda Coyne — Our second day of networking and visiting various companies did not disappoint. An earlier start than yesterday took us to Paramount/Viacom, an exciting company full of well-deserved awards, including MTV’s famous moon man. Our host, Sophie Krall, was a bubbly and inviting Hofstra grad who took us to the most interesting…

By Danielle Feldman — Today we visited Viacom/Paramount, NBC, Bloomberg and Fox. We met with alumni at each of them. They are all super huge and well-noted companies so it was quite an honor to visit all four in the same afternoon. I loved Viacom/Paramount. Most people we met with there were Hofstra alumni. Their…

By Annemarie LePard — Did anyone watch The Bachelorette last night? I didn’t, so don’t spoil it! I was busy reminiscing about my beautiful day in the city, and catching up on some desperately needed sleep.

By: Annalisa Peña — Today was a jam-packed day! We ran to catch lights, trains and grabbed a quick meal from a food truck like the stereotypical hustle and bustle scenes in movies about the Big Apple. We started our day at Viacom where we toured their gorgeous offices and spoke with many Hofstra alumni employed…

By Eleni Kothesakis — Today was the longest day of my life. It’s not great when my day starts off by waking up late and having to eat cereal on the subway, but I somehow got through it. Our long day of visits began with a stop at Viacom/ Paramount where we met with several…

By Tulsi Jipp — Today was our third day in New York. This was one of our busiest days as we visited four different companies. We started the day by going to Viacom and getting to meet six Hofstra alumni. We got a lovely tour of the Viacom office as well as getting to talk…

By Max Sacco — Day 3 of the Hofstra in NYC trip was both the most fun and eye opening but also tiring day of the trip. The day began like the day before with me traveling to the small deli on the corner to get breakfast, which in today’s case was a granola bar….
