Adelphi is an engine for social mobility, driven by exceptional students. This month, I’m proud to share our 2022–2023 President’s Report, Bold Change, Extraordinary Results, highlighting the most innovative year in our long history.
As we enter the final stretch of the spring semester, we continue to reach significant milestones. This year’s Women’s Leadership Conference set new attendance records on its way to becoming one of the most impactful
professional development events in our region. We embarked on our Momentum 2 Presidential Reception Tour, meeting alumni and friends around the country to grow our community and share our strategic vision for the future. A prominent attorney returned to graduate school and showed how Adelphi supports career changes at any age. And an exceptional undergraduate student landed a competitive internship through The Washington Center, where she will advocate for school funding in
underserved communities.
We are gearing up for our annual Research Day on April 16 and for Giving Day on April 17, which celebrates 1,896 minutes of giving in honor of our founding year. I hope you will join us in our mission to transform students' lives by supporting scholarships, athletics, academic programs and extraordinary learning
opportunities.
All the best,
