As we step into a new year, we’re another step closer to Adelphi’s debut in the heart of New York City. Kicking off 2026, we continue to build momentum and excitement about our new Manhattan Center at 529 Fifth Avenue with a launch video showcasing the space and the workforce-aligned professional programs we will offer in nursing, business, AI, social work, education, creative writing and psychology. The center will position students exactly where industry demand is greatest.
With these industry trends in mind, our faculty members offer their expert predictions for the year. Also this month, I’m proud to highlight our Honors College’s incredible 100 percent acceptance rate for graduates applying to medical schools; the unmatched fiscal oversight and specialized financial acumen of the members of our board of trustees; and the public art of adjunct faculty member Cara Lynch ’12, whose vibrant, large-scale designs are transforming iconic spaces like Newark Penn Station.
Together, these stories demonstrate a university that is growing, leading and thriving. 2026 is going to be a breakout year for Adelphi, and I can’t wait.
Onwards and upwards,
Chris Storm, PhD
