February 2026
With the Spring 2026 semester underway, our campus is once again energized by the rhythm of classes, conversations and new possibilities. In my welcome message to the Adelphi community last week, I emphasized the importance of higher education’s role in society. Through critical inquiry and dialogue, we are actively cultivating the next leaders and thinkers our world needs.
That sentiment is reflected in the stories I’m excited to share this month from every corner of our network. You’ll learn how Adelphi is shaping the future of aging through innovative and compassionate care; celebrate an alumna whose creative journey has taken her to the top of her field; and see how our faculty are advancing autism advocacy globally. We also highlight the inventive spirit of our STEM students, who are engineering original ideas in the classroom and beyond.
Lastly, Leonard Achan ’99, secretary of the Adelphi University Board of Trustees, shares why he gives back to today’s students in inspiring fashion.
We are making a meaningful impact, and I invite you to join us this semester as we elevate the student experience and strengthen the community we share.
Onwards and upwards,
Chris Storm, PhD
Interim President
