News from Adelphi University's Robert B. Willumstad School of Business
May 2023
Dear Students and Colleagues,

It’s that time of year again—graduation time. Congratulations to all of our graduates as you celebrate the completion of your degree—or degrees. We have a lot to celebrate, as you will see below.

For those of you who are graduating, I hope to see you for Commencement at
Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. Also, a senior celebration lunch will be held on Friday, May 19. If you are a graduating senior, please RSVP to Lori Cary, MBA '20, to enjoy lunch and celebrate your achievements with faculty and classmates. For those of you who are not graduating, I look forward to seeing you back on campus in the fall. Mark your calendars for our annual welcome social on Wednesday, September 13.

I wish all of our students, faculty and staff a safe and enjoyable summer.

Regards,

MaryAnne Hyland, PhD
Dean
Robert B. Willumstad School of Business
