Challenges to mental health—such as depression, trauma, anxiety or substance abuse—are among the many issues that might affect us all, but for Black men there are the added burdens: racial discrimination, being unfairly profiled, fear of mistreatment by law enforcement or being treated as tokens in their careers of choice while trying to be strong for their communities.

In high school, junior Monique Marcelle was very involved in extracurricular activities. Once she chose Adelphi, she knew she wanted to be involved just as she'd been in high school. As a first-year student, she heard about Black Students United (BSU) and went to a meeting.

One year ago this month, we opened the doors to a completely reimagined Ruth S. Harley University Center that fits the needs of the evolving college campus. Our new UC is expansive, beautiful and sustainable—modernized for today’s student, scholar and visitor. It is accessible and welcoming to all and already making a huge impact on us.

More than 300 transfers and 820 graduate students are continuing their academic journey with us this fall in our eight world-class colleges and schools. And we are joined on campus this year by 30 of our first community college students through our innovative Nassau-Adelphi Gateway program.

Students who have spent the past year learning remotely will notice a few changes on campus when they return. Among them is the Ruth S.
