Orientation Weekend is an Adelphi tradition.
Held right before the Monday start of classes, it’s a fun-filled, information-rich three days of events helping new students get acquainted with one another and learn what they need to know to make the most of their Adelphi experience.

Along with the provost, deans, students and the chair of the board of trustees, Dr. Storm officially welcomed the new class to Adelphi and offered advice to help students flourish at the University.
