Levermore Leadership Society
Levermore Leadership Society members lead through consistent, meaningful philanthropy—supporting Adelphi with gifts of $1,000 or more each year.
At Adelphi, leadership inspires progress—and philanthropy makes it possible. As part of LEAD—Adelphi’s Leadership Recognition and Giving Societies, the Levermore Leadership Society honors alumni, parents and friends whose annual giving strengthens the University year after year.
Through unrestricted or designated gifts of $1,000 or more, members help sustain the resources that power Adelphi’s excellence, from faculty-student collaboration and research to student leadership opportunities and innovative academic programs.
