World-class academics with a personal approach
March 2019

Dear Colleagues: 

This past weekend, we celebrated our first round of highly anticipated accepted student events, at which we welcomed nearly 700 students and families to campus. The entire University came together to show students what it truly means to be an Adelphi Panther.
 
Nothing beats the excitement and energy of our admitted students as they share with us the reasons they're choosing Adelphi University. From the academic experiences to student support to diversity and inclusion, the values Adelphi holds so dear resonate well with students today.
 
With May 1 around the corner and decision season upon us, we thought we'd allow our own students to share with you why they chose Adelphi as the next stop on their academic journey.
 
Read on and enjoy a small glimpse of some student experiences that led to calling Adelphi home!

All the best,
Office of University Admissions

Choosing Adelphi, in Their Own Words
Throughout the year, new first-year and transfer students apply and are accepted to Adelphi. We're proud of our diverse student body, which totals 8,146 students from 58 countries and 41 states. Their reasons for choosing Adelphi are as diverse as their academic interests and their stories are uniquely personal.
Karin Shimonov, a first-year biology major
“ Choosing to come to Adelphi has been one of the best decisions that I have made. When looking at colleges, I wanted to find a school that could keep me on track for my academic goals, along with helping me grow as an individual. The biology department here at Adelphi allows students to receive personalized experiences due to small classroom sizes. After meeting several professors and students, it gave me a chance to see how much Adelphi has to offer—such a variety of classes and internships that students can be part of. In addition, the campus is filled with many student leaders who advocate for one another and who encourage us to participate in different events on campus. I am extremely proud to say that I am an Adelphi Panther! ”
I an Kirby, a senior sport management major

“My transfer process was very quick and smooth. The staff was more than helpful. I transferred more than 40 credits.”
Brianna Bernard, a first-year history major

“ I chose Adelphi primarily because they had the STEP program available, which would enable me to reach my dream of educating others sooner—in five years. In addition, I received the presidential scholarship due to my hard work in high school. This scholarship allowed my family to be comfortable with me attending my dream school without financial strain. ”
Fernando Mercado, a first-year theater major

“I chose Adelphi because this campus felt like home. The green trees, the warmth of the community that welcomed me, and the feeling of being treated like a person and not just another number, is what made this place feel like home. And that is something I hadn’t felt anywhere else.”
