Spirit Weekend, our favorite weekend of the year, is officially three weeks away! Join us to reconnect with classmates, spend time on our beautiful main campus and share the excitement of being together. In honor of a place I call my second home, I invite you to refamiliarize yourself with the lyrics and melody of our "Alma Mater":
Our alma mater true, we sing in loyalty;
The glory of thy name shall e’er resound
With honor, love and hope that we have found
“The truth shall make us free.”
As we go on our way
Adelphi live forever!
The Brown and Gold for aye!
We cannot wait for you to return home and celebrate the Brown and Gold. Please enjoy this special Spirit Weekend edition of the alumni newsletter. You'll find a list of activities and registration links below. Go, Panthers!
