From My Desk President Christine M. Riordan
 
 
Dear Friend,

Adelphi is at a pivotal chapter in our 126-year history that begins now—with our new strategic plan, Momentum 2. This month, I am proud to announce our five-year road map designed with input from more than 1,400 Adelphi students, faculty, staff and alumni to advance our shared vision for student success, innovation and connection.

I’m also pleased to share the news of our fifth consecutive Higher Education Excellence in Diversity Award. Adelphi is so proud to be furthering our goals of diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging.

In other University news, our theater students earned special recognition at the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival from among more than 18,000 nationwide participants. And, thanks to a generous donor, eight new fellows in our School of Social Work will research the field of gerontology in a new program that is the first of its kind in New York state.

Adelphi is proud to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with our community, and we’re looking forward to our Sixth Annual Spirit Weekend, starting today. Please join us if you are able!


All the best,
