We’re just hours away from one of Adelphi’s most exciting events of the year, Spirit Weekend 2025. I look forward to participating in events that bring us together to showcase our successes and build strong community connections. As you will read below, this celebration of Adelphi comes at a time when we have many extraordinary accomplishments to share.
I’m thrilled to announce that Adelphi had a record-setting year in fundraising, with $15 million raised in fiscal 2024–2025 in support of The Momentum Campaign: Extraordinary Impact. The Bhisé Global Learning Experience at Adelphi is the lone winner of the prestigious Khaladjan International Award for Innovation in Higher Education. Our newest campus mural, a collaboration between students and faculty, is an inspiring display of unity. The latest national rankings include another impressive leap for Adelphi’s nursing programs, now among the top 200 in U.S. News & World Report’s Best Colleges for 2026. And finally, Trustee Emeritus Frank Angello ’77 shares why his Adelphi education was life-changing and inspired him to become highly engaged in giving back.
The celebration continues next weekend on October 11 at the 25th Annual Adelphi University Gala, where we will come together to support our students and honor our nationally recognized Bridges to Adelphi program, which serves neurodivergent students. There is still time to reserve tickets, and I’d love for you to join us in creating a promising future for everyone in our community.
Onwards and upwards,
Chris Storm, PhD
Interim President

New Mural Honors Hispanic Students and Families
According to Jacqueline Olvera, PhD, associate professor and chair of sociology, the new Swirbul Library mural “turned a blank wall into a colorful and vivid expression of pride, inspiration and celebration. My hope is that every student, parent and family member who encounters the mural walks away feeling united by the idea that college graduation is a collective victory.”
