Dear Students and Colleagues,
I am pleased to share the latest edition of our newsletter for Adelphi students, faculty and staff, highlighting some of the events and achievements of the Willumstad School of Business. One of our strategic themes is to foster an inclusive and connected community. Our annual ice cream welcome social and the Accounting Society’s annual fall networking event are two well-known examples of how we build a connected community. Read on to see some of the other ways the Willumstad School is connecting students, alumni and the business community. Also, mark your calendars for Wednesday, November 20, at 6:00 p.m., for our Hagedorn Lecture on Social Responsibility, which will be about the critically important topic of “Making the Business Case for Health Equity.” I hope to see you there. In the meantime, enjoy our newsletter and the beautiful fall colors of our Garden City campus. |

The Association for Supply Chain Management (ASCM) NYC-Long Island Forum and the Willumstad School of Business have partnered to provide tuition discounts to ASCM members and to collaborate on activities. For example, last spring, Adelphi hosted a meeting of the ASCM NYC-Long Island Forum on our Garden City campus. On October 16, as part of Adelphi’s sponsorship of the Forum’s annual gala, Adelphi students and faculty attended the event. Two Adelphi students, Ayman Sana and Ahmad Naveed Hashimi, were awarded scholarships, a highlight of the evening. |

We are excited to announce that our Flex MBA, which enables students to complete their MBA in as little as one year, began enrolling students this fall. Students can choose from a variety of STEM and non-STEM specializations. Additionally, all students will engage in two problem-solving days, to provide practical experience in critical thinking and teamwork as they tackle complex business problems. According to Raghida Abdallah Yassine, PhD, the MBA program's academic director and Willumstad School assistant professor of management, "This new program provides students with the skills and knowledge needed to make them game changers in the future of work." |

One of the many highlights of Spirit Weekend was the Greek Life Alumni Celebration, where members of the Kappa Rho chapter of Delta Sigma Pi (DSP) met with DSP alumni. DSP is a coed professional business fraternity. Arshdeep Kaur, DSP vice president for alumni relations, shared that “It was wonderful to see current members and alumni come together during Spirit Weekend. Connecting with those who paved the way for our chapter helps inspire and strengthen the bonds within our community. We’re grateful to our alumni for their ongoing support and commitment to our brotherhood." |
