Dear Friends and Colleagues,

In less than two weeks, we will be marking Thanksgiving Day in the United States. We are grateful to all our friends for their support. I also invite you to watch this video, which captures the essence of our business school.

Stay well and stay upbeat!

IMPACT—10 Under 10!

Adelphi’s annual recognition of 10 alumni who have graduated in the past 10 years features two Willumstad School students in the 2020 list: Angelica Cintron ’11, MBA ’12 (management), human resources manager at ProHEALTH Care, a provider of healthcare services, based in Mineola, New York, and Chiwete John-Njokanma ’15 (economics), co-founder and CEO of FINT Technology Africa, a fintech firm based in Lagos, Nigeria. We congratulate them and take pride in the impact they are already having so early in their careers. See the complete list of honorees and their profiles.
INNOVATION—High Impact Learning Through Live Cases

In partnership with the University’s Innovation Center, several faculty have incorporated actual live hands-on corporate-sponsored student projects into the teaching of their courses. This approach not only intensifies student learning and connects students to managers and practitioners, it further strengthens the School’s connections with employers. Here is an example of a live class project.
ENGAGEMENT—Connecting the World
In these dispiriting times, we continue to provide our students the opportunity to engage with business leaders and strengthen their personal skills. For instance, we hosted Kwame Adu-Gyamfi '05 (Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group); William Ampofo '96 (Boeing Global Services); Dimitri Tsopanakos '94, MBA '96 (Deloitte UK); and Michael Sammis '81 (Universal Publishing Production Music), who spoke on lessons corporate leaders are learning from managing through the pandemic, and organized workshops on personal brand building, including one by Debra Olshan Cooper (Your Career Design Lab), pictured left to right below. More than ever, we are staying connected!
