Dear Friend,

Distinctive academic opportunities are a hallmark of the Adelphi experience. From cutting-edge programs that support students from underserved communities to industry-leading faculty expertise across many diverse subjects, we strive to provide every individual with a platform to pursue their passions.

This month, I’m pleased to share stories of our academic distinction in action. A unique program that brings high school students to campus each summer to study cancer epidemiology is Adelphi’s seventh consecutive award winner for inspiring diversity in STEM fields. New paid summer fellowships for rising undergraduate students open doors to impactful research projects. An accelerated teaching degree program helps aspiring educators gain hands-on experience that launches their careers. One professor is at the forefront of the modern evolution in school psychology as the lead editor of the profession’s primary textbook. And the expansion of our online learning options includes degree paths recognized among the nation’s best. 

With only a few weeks left until the fall semester begins, I can’t wait to see the academic heights we will reach next. Join us as we celebrate our students’ success and unveil our extraordinary plans for the future at this year’s President’s Gala. Enjoy the rest of your summer!

All the best,

For five weeks each summer, Adelphi brings academically talented high school students to campus from multicultural neighborhoods of Brooklyn, Queens and Long Island, helping them conduct research in cancer epidemiology. This program has just won a 2024 Inspiring Programs in STEM Award from INSIGHT Into Diversity—Adelphi’s seventh consecutive recognition.

At Adelphi, research is highly valued for undergrads as well as graduate students. For the first time this year, paid summer fellowships from the new Office of Undergraduate Research and Creative Works are helping younger students make new discoveries in tech, the arts, LGBTQ+ well-being and the surprising history of our own community here in Garden City.
