World-class academics with a personal approach
|
|
Dear Colleagues,
After a group online video chat last week, an accepted first-year student wrote to the chair of our Department of Anthropology:
“You all had such an impact on me! I can tell how much you all care about your students. You have inspired me so much.”
As we say here at Adelphi, community is
everything
.
It’s no secret that Adelphi offers students a personalized education. What this means for a great many is the opportunity to get individual attention from faculty members with international reputations. From Fulbright awardees to Pulitzer Prize winners, there are world-class scholars in academic departments across the University.
These days, our professors have transitioned to remote learning—and they are now available virtually to speak to your prospective students. Over the last few weeks, I’ve witnessed firsthand how inspired prospective students are when they speak to our faculty. Our supportive academic environment can have an incredible impact on a student’s life.
Small class sizes, highly ranked academic programs, specialized learning communities and hands-on support are all part of what’s special about the academic experience here. Please take a moment to read about academic life at Adelphi and feel free to ask your students if they’d like to connect with one of our professors—we’ll help make it happen.
Stay safe and be well!

Why Our Professors Use a Personalized Approach to Learning—and Why It Matters Even More Today
|
|
As our professors and students are navigating the midsemester transition to
remote learning
, our University as a whole is learning new ways of teaching. We are fortunate that Adelphi has always believed in integrating hands-on, real-life learning into course materials and providing one-to-one guidance for every student. Despite the current challenge of remote learning, our professors remain committed to every student succeeding. We teach in small classes where professors know every student’s name—whether online or on campus.
Let's hear why our professors are passionate about teaching at Adelphi:

"As nursing practice continues to change, my goal is to provide each student with the foundation needed to make sound clinical decisions that are fundamental to client care outcomes and high-quality healthcare. It is my passion to encourage and prepare student nurses to effect and lead change at the bedside and beyond.”
—Daniel McWeeney ’07, DNP,
clinical assistant professor,
College of Nursing and Public Health
|
|
|
|
"In the classroom, I enjoy engaging with students about how they will use psychological theories and research methods to enrich their professional and personal lives. I love learning about their diverse interests and passions. Our psychology degree cultivates an endless number of tailored opportunities for each student.”
—Christina Marini ’11, PhD,
assistant professor,
Gordon F. Derner School of Psychology
|
|
|
|
|
"The joy of teaching is the opportunity to continue learning myself, as I help solve the artistic concerns of my students. In the art world, everything is always moving, and my students remind me of this every day as I seek to educate them and myself. Teaching is my way to give back, but also a way to enrich my worldview.”
—Carson Fox,
associate professor,
Department of Art and Art History
|
|
|
|
"I remind my students of the power they have through their craft to inspire and affect people—that, through movement, much can be said. To see their growth through exploration and thought is so rewarding for me as a teacher.”
—Juan Rodriguez
, adjunct professor,
Department of Dance
