Adelphi University Magazine
The latest issue of Adelphi University Magazine brings stories that inspire and reconnect our entire community.
On the cover, we celebrate Adelphi’s arrival onto 529 5th Avenue, New York City with an artist’s illustration of our new Manhattan Center, reimagined in the style of the iconic 1976 New Yorker cover.
Inside, you can experience the beauty of our campus across all four seasons, see the direct impact of student scholarships, and explore the impressive roster of Emmys, Grammys, Tonys and Academy Awards earned by our alumni. Did you know Adelphi’s was the very first university-based professional school of psychology? That milestone and several other “Adelphi firsts” take center stage in this issue.
You’ll also get an inside look at our latest Women’s Leadership Conference and the annual Writers & Readers Festival.
Finally, stay connected with your classmates through Class Notes.
