HOFSTRA LAW — Hon. A. Gail Prudenti, dean of the Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University, announced today that she will step down from her position as dean on June 30, 2023. Since being named Hofstra Law’s tenth dean in May 2017, Dean Prudenti has had a transformative impact on the Law School.
