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.
