Adelphi University New York
World-class academics with a personal approach
November 2019
Dear Colleagues,

The semester is flying by, and it’s hard to believe that Adelphi’s Early Action deadline of December 1 is just around the corner. So are our Instant Transfer Decision Days. Within the next couple of weeks, we’ll be meeting with over 130 transfer students here on campus, helping them to quickly and easily transfer into the Adelphi family. It’s one of the busiest times of year for our Admissions team.
As we meet with more and more high school and transfer students each year, we’re almost always asked about our internship opportunities and career outcomes. Our community here at Adelphi places great pride in making sure our students are career ready and equipped with the tools for success. In fact, Adelphi has just been named a 2019–2020 Career Development College of Distinction—one of just a handful of New York institutions on this year’s list.

As you work with your students on building their college lists, consider Adelphi University. With personalized programs to meet student interests and a laser focus on career preparation and student success, our students are thriving. I look forward to welcoming many of your students next year and inviting them to be a part of the Adelphi success story!

All the best,
Stephanie Espina
Director of Undergraduate Admissions
