World-Class Academics. Personal Approach. Successful Outcomes. |
|
Dear Colleague,
For this edition of Discover Adelphi, let’s reflect on how we can best prepare students for career success. At Adelphi, we help students set their own path, maximizing personal value through our high-impact learning—a hands-on method combining innovative classwork with internships, community work, career development programs and collaborative projects. We’re here to help students cross the finish line into a career and life of purpose.
It doesn’t take our graduates long to recognize the value of an Adelphi education. In fact, our students find employment opportunities in their chosen fields quickly—with a typical starting salary 38 percent higher than the national average.
This week, I’d also like to share that the Adelphi community is joining the celebration of International Education Week with a special Adelphi/United Nations concert and other exciting events. You are welcome to participate in our events as we acknowledge the importance of global perspectives.
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if we can be of any support to your students, especially as application deadlines approach. If your first-year students are applying for our December 1 Early Action Deadline, feel free to share our Common App Fee Waiver Code, APPLYEA, with them.
I wish you, your students and your families all the best as we approach the holiday season!

See What's Happening in Our Physics Department |
|
Join junior physics major Katie Gifford as she talks about Adelphi's physics department and academic program. Gifford is joined by associate professor of physics Sean Bentley, PhD, and associate professor and physics department chair Matthew Wright, PhD.
One thing that Gifford believes makes our physics department really special is that:
|
|
|
|
We have a lot of research labs, so we can conduct research with professors as early as freshman year. And due to the fact that we're a small department, professors are really excited when students want to do research with them and there are so many opportunities."

Our Internships and Career Prep Help Change Lives |
|
Adelphi's Center for Career and Professional Development works closely with students, helping them find internships and job-shadowing opportunities that will earn them credit and build solid work experiences. This year, due to the pandemic, our career services were mostly virtual—we offered daily Zoom counseling sessions, virtual résumé reviews, virtual job fairs and virtual micro internships.
The Prep for Success Program connects students with top companies that create hands-on learning experiences and job offers, often before graduation.
Some examples of how we supported our students between August 2019 and September 2020:
|
|
|
|
full-time and internship opportunities were posted on our jobs database—27 percent more than the prior year.
|
|
Our career counselors personally reviewed more than 1,600 résumés—making them stronger and more compelling to employers.
|
|
|
|
participants attended both face-to-face and virtual career-readiness workshops.
|
|
More than 513 hands-on career learning experiences were created for our students.
