World-Class Academics. Personal Approach. Successful Outcomes.
March 2021
Dear Colleague,

It’s hard to believe where we all were just a year ago today! Adelphi has remained steadfast—and I personally feel a refreshed sense of optimism for what the future looks like for our Adelphi family.
 
Lately, we’ve received some outstanding recognition despite current challenges:
 
  • Top 10 Hidden Gem Private Universities: College Gazette
  • One of 14 A+ Schools for B Students, emphasizing our commitment to student success
  • 2021 Phi Theta Kappa Transfer Honor Roll School for ease of transfer
  • 2021 Bronze status as a Military-Friendly School
 
There are less than 50 days before our May 1 first-year student enrollment deadline, and we’re still accepting Fall 2021 applications. We hope your students will consider applying—and take their first step toward an Adelphi education.  

Read on for our latest updates, an important scholarship announcement and testimonials from transfer students who now call Adelphi “home.”
 
Wishing you all a happy and hopeful spring season!
Cheers,

Adelphi Removes Minimum GPA Requirements for Merit Scholarships

Adelphi recognizes the ongoing challenges faced by many of our students and families as a result of the global COVID-19 pandemic. To aid our students, effective immediately, Adelphi has removed its minimum GPA requirements tied to retaining academic scholarships. It is our hope that the elimination of this stressor will allow students the full ability to pick courses required for their degree based on what they wish to learn and what will be most helpful to their career—not on the basis of what will allow them to maintain their scholarship. 
Spotlight on Residential and Student Life at Adelphi
Our seven residence halls are tight-knit communities where your students will always find something to do—they can hang out with friends, relax in a spacious lounge, or enjoy free cable and WiFi in their room.

These include—but are not limited to—communities for gender inclusivity, for high-achieving honors students, for globally-minded students, for students with an appreciation of the arts, and for students in Greek organizations and social fellowships.

In Their Words—Why Transfer Students Chose Adelphi
Teddy-Ann Miles is a senior in our undergraduate nursing program. She is actively involved in campus life—she is president of Black Students United, a member of the Equitable Adelphi Action Team, and serves on the College of Nursing and Public Health's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion committee.

"Adelphi nurses are loved and valued. Overall, my clinical experience has been great. I was privileged to have professor Carmen Reid as one of my clinical professors. She is knowledgeable and genuinely helped me to succeed in the clinical setting. Your college experience is what you make it; networking is key. Big shout-outs to Chotsani West, Jacqueline LaMon, Charles Cal, Athena Bressack and Tommy Severin for helping me project my voice along with shaping my leadership skills."

Michael Jannis is a senior in our undergraduate political science program. Besides being a student, he worked as a legislative aide to former New York State Assemblyman Mike LiPetri.

"I fell in love with Adelphi and the political science department. The campus is not too big, which was very important to me, and it is so beautiful! I've been able to take many of the skills that I have learned from the incredible professors in the political science department and bring them to my work to assist the assemblyman's constituents. I have had the best academic experience a college student could ever dream of while at Adelphi University. Every professor that I've had the privilege of learning with has shown me nothing but respect as well as the utmost care for my academic career."
Margaret Brackey is a junior in our undergraduate dance program.

"I chose Adelphi because of the rigor and professionalism of the dance program. I was especially impressed with current students' testimonials about the welcoming atmosphere of the program, as well as the dedication of department chair, Professor Duckstein, in helping me settle in. I am in the Honors College and currently coordinating with the Environmental Action Coalition on a personal project." 
Osvaldo Alvarado is a senior in our accelerated undergraduate social work program.

"I chose to transfer to Adelphi because of the BSW accelerated program. I would like to give a huge shout-out to Kate Macaluso because she helped me through the entire application process and was available when I had questions. All of my credits transferred. The professors at Adelphi have all been great; they try and get to know you and are always willing to help a student understand the material. They inspire me to be a great social worker."
