Adelphi University introduces a BS in Environmental Science program to the newly renamed Department of Environmental Studies and Sciences.

Students in Adelphi's chapter of the Society of Physics Students (SPS) manage demanding courses, do research and are also active outside of the classroom, sharing their favorite subject with Adelphi and surrounding communities.

Current junior Areeba Khalid came to Adelphi planning to major in math, but a Harvard-MIT internship the summer after her first year set her on a path to medical research.

From winning a national championship to a viral commencement proposal, we're counting down some of our favorite moments of the year

With the end of 2019 in sight, and with the thankful spirit of the holiday season, I'd like to take a moment to reflect on the winning year our entire Adelphi community has made possible.

Carolyn Bauer, PhD, assistant professor of biology, is taking her students both far and near. As a researcher, she has been awarded $136,611 of a $400,000 grant from the National Science Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering to bring her Adelphi students to Chile.

Being born in Afghanistan and witnessing domestic violence in the lives of many Afghan women, graduate student Sahra Ibrahimi has always been passionate about women's rights and improving public health.

This year’s Research Day on April 17 was Adelphi’s biggest yet—it grows every year. Learn what was new at our 16th annual event, and meet some of the students who presented their research.

Scientists from around the world travel to the famous CERN laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland, to probe the fundamental structure of the universe using the largest and most powerful particle accelerator on earth—the Large Hadron Collider. Last summer, they were joined by an Adelphi senior, Muhammad Aziz, a physics major who spent six weeks as part of a longer 10-week internship with the Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory/Duke University Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program.

As a sophomore in early 2018, Nootshy Romage found out she was denied an internship. That's when she saw a lawn sign about Adelphi's competitive Jaggar Community Fellows Program, which awards life-changing, paid summer internships to around 70 students each year.

You could say that junior Melissa Emilcar has a knack for medical research. After all, how many undergraduates need only a month to master a lab technique that can take researchers with doctorates six months to learn?

Dirt covered the hands of Queens, New York, native Julio RuizDiaz last summer as he excavated artifacts in the Alaskan wilderness.

Born in Vietnam and moving to the United States at age 8, Lani Chau was determined to use art and science for the greater good through the field of renewable energy. That journey started with experiences in physics, chemistry and the arts at Adelphi.

Graduate school is all about small classes and close working relationships between students and faculty members. Adam P. Natoli, M.S., a Ph.D. candidate in his fourth year at Adelphi's Derner School of Psychology, is another student who is benefiting from collaborative work with a faculty mentor.

Science classes at Adelphi often incorporate field study. The marine biology class taught by Aaren Freemen, Ph.D., virtually revolves around it, engaging in what Dr. Freeman calls "boots in the mud type of work."

During the 10-week program, Maldonado is working on an individual project based on a journal article published in Advances in Cryptology, “Linicrypt: A Model for Practical Cryptography."

For the third year in a row, Assistant Professor of Biology Michael D'Emic, Ph.D., is taking students on a 3-credit field course to dig sites in northern Wyoming and southern Montana.

For Carolina Medina, the semester she spent in Australia was not only a game-changer for her academic and career goals. It was a life changer as well.

Brian Testa, an art education major, got an offer he couldn't refuse from his adviser, Cindy Maguire, Ph.D.

Adelphi computer science students are exploring the potential for hackproof electronic voting and uncovering new threats to privacy posed by virtual assistants like Amazon's Alexa.

The study concluded that transgender health can be greatly improved by supportive families and a strong social support system.

Adelphi student Deepsana Shahi is now a seasoned explorer of this universe after her internship in her final semester this fall at the prestigious Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island.
