At Adelphi, our focus on expanding access and equity in education has attracted our most diverse student body in our 127-year history. This month, I’m proud to share the stories of our Black students who discuss their sense of belonging at Adelphi and the importance of finding new ways to engage our community in diversity initiatives following the conclusion of Black History Month.
And as the spring season of transformation approaches, our community is using its Adelphi experience to evoke change. A military veteran and alumnus is leading programs for veterans throughout New York state after overcoming his own mental and physical health challenges. One faculty member spearheads the nationwide effort to solve America’s nursing shortage by increasing support for nurse educators. And another professor is inspiring his colleagues in STEM to become better writers to communicate their important scientific findings.
Now, in honor of Women’s History Month, we will be sharing stories of inspiring women from our community and hosting many empowering events. There is still time to register for our annual Women’s Leadership Conference, which is taking place this Saturday, March 9. I hope you will join us as we exchange ideas, ask meaningful questions and challenge one another to grow.
All the best,
