“Looking back, I see that Adelphi changed my life in a lot of ways. Due to the small class size, I was able to develop personal relationships with faculty, which allowed me to participate in ways that I would not have been able to had I attended a larger institution.”

“The mentorship I received as an Adelphi student was unparalleled. Adelphi is a special place, one that has left an indelible mark on my life. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to call this institution my alma mater.”

“At Adelphi I was able to find things that brought me joy as well as challenged me both mentally and personally. Groups such as Christian Fellowship and Student Government enriched my time at Adelphi in ways I will never forget”

“Adelphi has been the constant behind all of my successes. It has opened so many doors of opportunity for me.”

“Adelphi has inspired me, developed me, challenged me, supported me, and gifted me with an inimitable network of friends, mentors, and colleagues.”

“I believe that Adelphi has provided me with the educational and professional opportunities that have allowed me to pursue my dream of becoming a clinical psychologist. I would not be where I am today without Adelphi.”

“Because of the amazing educational experience and support I received as an undergraduate, there was no question I would return to Adelphi to complete my master’s degree.”

“Adelphi changed my life because of the people that it placed in it…there are relationships that I made at Adelphi that supported me every step of the way in college, and still do to this day. I truly cannot imagine life without them, as they continue to hold me, lift me, and push me to be the best possible version of myself.”

“The memories, opportunities, relationships, experience and, of course, education I received at Adelphi helped shape me into the person I am today. Adelphi will always be a part of me, and I will always be a part of it.”
