A Year in Review!

Hi All, Emily Miethner here! First of all, I finally designed HAGA a logo! And it's pretty ballin.

As co-founder/co-president/president of HAGA, I couldn't be more proud of all we've done as such as young club...it's really incredible. HAGA has become a household name on the Hofstra campus, and I'm confident the club will continue to grow and accomplish more and more. Here is a list of our achievements from this year.

  • Created a viral ad campaign for Hofstra Earth Day 2010, with each member designing a poster.
  • Three Successful Photoshop Workshops
  • Sponsor of Hofstra MusicFest
