Celebrating Extraordinary Impact

In 2025, we proudly celebrate Bridges to Adelphi, our nationally recognized program for neurodivergent student education and advocacy. With guidance, mentorship, and innovative support, Bridges empowers students to thrive academically, socially and professionally.

We are grateful to our Bridges to Adelphi Board of Advisors and 2025 Gala Steering Committee for their leadership, generosity and commitment to student success. Among them are several proud Adelphi *parents.

  • Adelphi University Board Trustee Gregory Carey and Katy Carey*
  • The Bahnik Family*
  • Nicholas Hagedorn ’19
  • Brian Jaccoma ’89
  • Ashleigh and Justin Nelson*
  • James and Ellen Riley and Family
  • Carolyn Schiff*

Net proceeds support Adelphi students and the programs that help them to thrive. Through 2027, every act of generosity brings us closer to our ambitious goal of raising $100 million for The Momentum Campaign: Extraordinary Impact.
