June 2025
Energy, pride and school spirit were on full display at Adelphi’s 129th Commencement ceremony on May 20. We celebrated more than 1,000 undergraduates—and almost as many graduate students—as they stepped off the stage and into the world. I am confident that Adelphi has armed them not just with degrees, but also with the drive and adaptability they need to thrive in today’s constantly evolving career landscape. They are poised to make an impact in their communities, emerging as tomorrow’s innovators and leaders.
I’m excited to share some of the most unforgettable Commencement highlights in our video tribute to the Class of 2025. I also invite you to learn more about the remarkable members of this year’s graduate and undergraduate classes—and what makes each of them so extraordinary. We also share the stories of five graduates who completed their job hunts before graduation, a testament to Adelphi’s emphasis on student success.
Speaking of success, I’m proud to share the news that Adelphi has won two NE10 Athletic Conference Presidents’ Cups for the 2024–2025 season. This marks a back-to-back win for both the overall and men’s champions. Congratulations go out to all our dedicated student-athletes, coaches and staff on an outstanding year. Our Panthers have proved once again that Adelphi is a true athletic powerhouse.
I’m excited to continue sharing Adelphi’s progress through the summer as we continue to create vibrant futures for our students and our community. Enjoy the summer ahead!
All the best,
Chris
