From My Desk President Christine M. Riordan
 
 
Dear Friend,

The end of the year brings many reasons to celebrate our progress and look forward to an exciting future at Adelphi. As we ring in the holiday season, I’m happy to share news and stories that are inspiring our community.

For the first time, in 2023, a select group of students will join the Bhisé Global Learning Experience—a unique travel and learning opportunity in India created by a generous alumnus. Here on campus, our new Office of Undergraduate Research and Creative Works opens doors to impactful research projects for young students. And while a graduate student explains her passion for mental health care, a trustee takes her advocacy for equity and inclusion in the disability community all the way to the White House.

On behalf of everyone at Adelphi, I wish you and your families a warm and joyful season.

Happy holidays!

Adelphi is making local, national and global news:


  • Details regarding the federal funds rate are explained by Robert Goldberg, James F. Bender Clinical Professor of Finance, in an October 31 Fortune article that also appeared on Yahoo Finance.


  • Katherine Fiori, PhD, professor and chair of psychology, is quoted in a November 18 article about “frictionless commerce” in The Wall Street Journal.

We still haven’t dealt with some of the major problems from early in the pandemic, especially when it comes to child care. The median child care worker is paid less than $12 an hour, which means you can make more working at McDonald’s. A lot of people have left the industry, and new ones are not coming in.”
