Alumni Legacy Families
Adelphi takes great pride in the long-standing tradition it shares with generations of families who consider themselves Adelphi Panthers.
Legacy families are students and alumni whose family, including parents, grandparents and/or siblings, attended or currently attend Adelphi University. The Legacy Family Program recognizes families for their continued generational support and commitment to Adelphi. Family connections have long been a part of the success of Adelphi University and its students and it is through our alumni families that the heritage of the University passes from generation to generation.
Featured Story
Eickelberg Family
The Eickelberg family’s Adelphi legacy began in 1951, when Warren Eickelberg joined the biology faculty and went on to shape pre-professional programs, create joint degrees in medicine and dentistry, and secure funding for Swirbul Library. All four of his children became Adelphi graduates and standout student-athletes, carrying forward his dedication to education, service, and achievement. Today, the third generation continues that tradition, making the Eickelbergs a true embodiment of Panther pride and the recipients of this year’s Legacy Family Spirit Award.
