Adelphi Couples
From Prince William and Kate Middleton to Eli Manning and Abby Mcgrew, many couples around the world can trace their love connection back to a college campus.
We are proud to celebrate the more than 1,000 alumni couples that found love at Adelphi. Some found love as students on campus, and some met — or discovered their love —later in life. But each couple shares a common experience of being an Adelphi Panther.
Are you an Adelphi couple?
We want to celebrate you and your spouse! Contact us at alumni@adelphi.edu or submit a class note about your love story.
Your gifts count twice.
When you donate to the University, you and your spouse are counted towards our alumni participation goal.
Valentine’s Day: Post on social media.
We invite all of our AU couples to share their love stories and/or pictures on social media with the #AdelphiEverAfter hashtag.

Sean Kildare '19 and Kelli Smith '20, MA '21
Our story at Adelphi began in 2017. I had just transferred in as a junior, joining the cross country and track team, while Kelli was already thriving as a sophomore on the same team. We quickly discovered both lived in Massapequa. Kelli suggested we carpool to “save gas,” a suggestion that changed our path forever.
Justin Macari '17, MBA '18 and Nicole (Elarde) Macari '17, MS '19
Justin and I met on our first day of Cross Country preseason in August 2013 when our team went to Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner. We ran Cross Country track together for the following four years. We are so grateful for Coach Katie and the impact she had on each of us.
