I am grateful for Adelphi’s—and particularly the Honors College’s—emphasis on critical thinking within the classroom. As an attorney, I’m called upon to think analytically. Adelphi helped to lay that groundwork long before I set foot in a courtroom.

I wouldn’t be where I am in my career without the experience I’ve had and the relationships I’ve built at Adelphi.
Philip F. DiSanto ‘12
Adelphi changed every aspect of my life. It filled me with intellectual curiosity, and helped me to find my passion for the law. Adelphi was the foundation on which I built my career.
“Adelphi University is, and continues to be, one of the best things to have happened to me in my life….The liveliness of students around campus gave the large-campus appeal for one-tenth of the volume.”
I realized how important it was to me to have a job where I was using my skills and abilities to make a difference in the lives of children....
If you deeply believe that you want to be a nurse and you are willing to put in the hard work to become one, you CAN and you WILL be a nurse. Do not stop believing in yourself, you can do it.
Adelphi taught me discipline.
“Get involved, make the most of your time at AU, utilize your resources and remember that Adelphi will always have your back”.
“I would not be who I am without Adelphi….Adelphi helped me find myself; it helped me truly navigate what I wanted out of life.”
I am a lifelong learner and mentor thanks to Adelphi’s encouragement to continue my education and for giving me the opportunity to be who I am today.
