Hofstra introduced the Lions in 1987, but they weren't made official until July 1, 2005. How should that be listed? MBisanz
Notable alumni
The alumni section has had a run of false or gratuitous entries. It may still need pruning. Please ensure accuracy. And not everyone is famous. Unless someone is obviously famous, it would help to provide some documentation. (The director of marketing for The Sandwich Factory, for example, if he even exists, does not appear on google, and warranted deletion.) If you have serious contributions, it would help to back them up or they will disappear. CHE 15:22, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
Official Source for Notable Alumni
Hofstra's own "Alumni of Distinction" page
In addition, Hofstra also divides their notable alumni according to the college they graduated from. I.E.- If you want to see "drama" or "communications" alumni of distinction, then you have to goto the college of drama site (http://www.hofstra.edu/Academics/HCLAS/DD/DD_alumni.cfm) or college of communications site, etc. I don't know why the school does this, but they do.
As far as the other alumni, they can all be verified by doing a simple web search.
Can't possibly be true
> Herbert A. Deutsch, composer, inventor of the Moog synthesizer (Hofstra Alum)
Nonsense! If he invented it, it would be called the "Deutsch Synthesizer"
It is absolutely true! Goto his web page at Hofstra.edu and read his official bio. http://www.hofstra.edu/academics/hclas/music/music_deutsch.cfm
Scroll down to the bottom of his official bio and "actually" take the time and read!!!! He "collaborated" in the development of the Moog synthesizer with Robert A. Moog.
No it is true, I had a class with him and he was only the co-creator. It pretty much came down to the fact of bad business ethics. He also showed us a segment of a program that was on A&E I think that also said he was one of the co-creators. Why would he lie about it anyways?
