Honorary Degree Recipients and Keynote Speakers
Adelphi awards honorary degrees to those who have achieved the highest distinction in a field of learning, the arts, the professions, or public service, especially those achievements that contribute to the life of the mind and human spirit.
2024 Undergraduate Ceremony
Eduardo Vilaro ’85, Artistic Director and CEO, Ballet Hispánico
I am beyond thrilled to be representing, speaking to and celebrating Adelphi’s 2024 graduates. It is an honor to receive an honorary degree from the University that shaped me as both an artist and a leader.
Eduardo Vilaro is artistic director and chief executive officer of Ballet Hispánico, the largest Latinx/e/Hispanic cultural organization in the United States, recognized by the Ford Foundation as one of “America’s Cultural Treasures.” The company has performed its repertoire of more than 75 works for more than two million people in the United States, Europe and South America. In 2024, Vilaro is celebrating his 15th year of leading Ballet Hispánico and building its brand of contemporary dance that reflects America’s changing cultural landscape.
Born in Cuba and raised in New York from the age of 6, Vilaro’s choreography is devoted to capturing the Latin American experience in its totality and diversity and through its intersectionality with other diasporas. His works are catalysts for new dialogues about what it means to be an American.
After earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts in dance from Adelphi, Vilaro was a Ballet Hispánico dancer and educator from 1988 to 1996. He went on to earn a master’s degree in interdisciplinary arts at Columbia College Chicago, then founded and became artistic director of Luna Negra Dance Theater in Chicago. Vilaro has created more than 40 ballets and has been recognized with numerous awards and honors, including the Ruth Page Award for choreography, induction into the Bronx Walk of Fame, inclusion in City & State Magazine’s inaugural Power of Diversity: Latin 100 list, and selection as a Grand Marshall of the 2022 Dance Parade, Inc., in New York. Also in 2022, Vilaro was named one of Forbes magazine’s Kings of Culture: Legends in Business.
2024 Graduate Ceremony
Patrick O’Shaughnessy, DO, MBA ’13, FACEP, President and CEO, Catholic Health
Congratulations to this year’s graduates on all they’ve accomplished, and to their parents and families, who have done so much to make their dreams come true. I am honored and humbled to share this day with the Class of 2024.
Beginning his Catholic Health career as an emergency department physician, “Dr. O” is an accomplished executive with more than 20 years of strategy, innovation and operations experience. Selected by Catholic Health’s board to serve as president and CEO in 2021, Dr. O’Shaughnessy is passionate about using his platform to address food insecurity, population health management and providing greater access to care.
Dr. O’Shaughnessy earned his medical degree from the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine and then completed training in emergency medicine at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He practiced emergency medicine in a variety of settings over a 17-year clinical career, culminating in supporting first responders and rescue efforts during the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center. He holds master’s degrees in business administration from Adelphi University and in population health management from Thomas Jefferson University.
Under his direction, Catholic Health has launched programs aimed at improving health and decreasing the risk of chronic disease in low-income individuals and families by offering easy access to healthcare services, including advanced primary care, preventative screenings and making use of digital technology to better identify disease at an earlier stage. Believing that food is medicine, he has aligned Catholic Health’s resources to provide healthy food and patient-tailored nutrition and disease-related information to individuals identified as food insecure.
Dr. O’Shaughnessy sits on the Long Island Regional Economic Development Council and serves on the board of the New York Institute of Technology. He also serves as secretary of the Healthcare Association of New York State board and on the American Hospital Association’s Committee on Health Strategy and Innovation. Additionally, he is the incoming chairman of the Greater New York Hospital Association. Crain’s New York Business named Dr. O’Shaughnessy to its 2022 Notable Health Care Leaders list and top 100 Healthcare list in 2023. He is also a member of The Wall Street Journal CEO Council.
