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
Muscarella Family
At the heart of the family’s Adelphi story is Louisa Buono Muscarella, who served as Art Exhibit Curator in Adelphi’s Fine Arts Library from 1974 to 1993. A beloved member of the Adelphi community, Louisa balanced her career and family life while nurturing her own lifelong love of learning. After prioritizing her children’s college educations, she pursued a degree of her own, earning her bachelor’s degree from Adelphi in 1988 at the age of 57. Her achievement became an inspiration for generations of her family.
