Dear Fellow Deans, New Year's greetings! I hope you had a restful break. I was able to take some time off, and I'm ready to start another semester with my battery replenished. I wish you and your School another successful year! Regards, Rajib Sanyal, PhD Dean

ENGAGEMENT – The Assets That Are Our Alumni With over 85 percent of our 18,000 strong alumni in the New York metro region, we are able to engage them in any number of ways, enriching both the classroom experience of our students and tapping into the massive opportunities that this dynamic region offers. This past academic semester, over 150 of our alumni were on campus as speakers, mentors, judges, advisory board members, panelists, coaches, recruiters, advisers, trustees, adjunct faculty and, of course, donors. At our annual Women’s Leadership Conference , 10 of the speakers were our alumni from a variety of industries. Their engagement gives our students that key winning edge.

INNOVATION – Financial Literacy—Not Just for College Students

Thanks to a grant from Jovia Financial Credit Union, we are hosting workshops on managing personal finances for Adelphi staff and our students. Our students, in turn, go out to area schools to provide lessons to high schoolers, educating them on the essentials of effectively handling money. The grant from Jovia is for a three-year period.

IMPACT – Scholarship That Informs Our faculty are exploring new areas of scholarship—delving into archives, conducting experiments and developing algorithms—and publishing their findings in respected journals. I invite you to peruse the latest issue of the Adelphi Business Review where we feature the recent work of four of our faculty members. Learn about the exciting discoveries they have made!

This e-newsletter is prepared by the Office of the Dean of the Robert B. Willumstad School of Business at Adelphi University.
