AU Adelphi Alumni

January 2026

Dear Friend,


Happy New Year, fellow Panthers! As we begin 2026, I’m reflecting on how deeply Adelphi shaped my life and how meaningful it has been to reconnect in the ways that I have.


As a student, Adelphi is where I found my voice, my community and my confidence—often through experiences that extended far beyond the classroom. After graduation, life and career demands pulled me away for a time, but Adelphi never left me because the education, friendships and values I gained here continue to shape who I am. 


Reengaging with Adelphi wasn’t about looking back; it was about honoring my foundation and finding a new way to be connected. Today I serve on the Alumni Advisory Council, proudly as co-vice chair.


As you look ahead to this new year before you, I encourage you to reconnect with Adelphi too, in any meaningful way that works for you. You might explore a class at Adelphi’s new Manhattan Center, attend an Adelphi on the Road gathering or join us for the remarkable Women’s Leadership Conference in Garden City on Saturday, March 28. 


No matter how far or how long you’ve been pulled in new directions since graduation, Adelphi is always proud and excited to welcome you back. 


Here’s to a new year of connection and possibilities.


With Panther pride,





Abi Browne ’10

*Starting in 2026, taxpayers who take the standard deduction will be able to deduct charitable cash gifts on their federal income-tax returns—up to $1,000 per individual or $2,000 for married couples filing jointly. This change allows the nearly 90 percent of taxpayers who do not itemize to receive a tax benefit for their charitable giving, making it easier to save on taxes while continuing or increasing annual cash donations to public charities.
