Dear Colleagues,
Our Ea
rly Action deadline of December 1
is just around the corner and we’re witnessing an incredible applicant pool take shape.
Incredible geographic reach
. To date, applicants span 43 states and 57 countries.
Incredible aspirations
. Applications continue to surge in programs like Neuroscience (a pre-med favorite), Theater (actors and set designers aplenty) and Exercise Science (that perfect competitive edge for physical therapy).
Incredible achievements
. We’re
on pace for a record-setting year of applicants and achievement, sporting our highest average academic measures to date.
Incredible stories. The most impressive part of our applicant pool? Their personal stories.
- A student who’s overcome depression and learned to conquer her learning disability
- A first-generation student who co-founded a vegan club in her school community
- A youth ambassador for the Tourette Association of America
- An Oxford summer medical program graduate
- A student serving as president of his school’s Model United Nations
And the list goes on.
As you work with your students on building their college lists, consider Adelphi University. With personalized programs to meet student interests (read more below!), Adelphi lets personal stories grow and thrive among our distinguished community members.
In the season
of being thankful, I thank each of you for the hard work you do each and every day, guiding our future scholars into their next exciting chapter.
Best,

Spotlight on Adelphi Academics

Teaching and learning physics can be challenging for teachers and students alike. And this is why it’s especially uplifting when

assistant professor of physics, who was named Adelphi's Professor of the Year in 2015, shares his teaching philosophy—which emphasizes love, kindness and understanding—in a piece for
Inside Higher Ed
