Dear Adelphi family and friends,
Adelphi is opening the doors to higher education in ways that ensure access and equity.
This month, I introduce you to one of our University trustees, a powerful voice in the disability community. And you’ll read about a new policy that helps scholarship students stay on track to graduate.
Meet our newest—and youngest—Newman Civic Fellow, a first-generation Hispanic student. Also, learn how nontraditional students are finding a world-class home at Adelphi.
Finally, please enjoy our just-released 2019–2020 President’s Report, Transforming Lives in an Unprecedented Year.
Next month, we will be kicking off Adelphi’s 125th anniversary year of celebration at our annual President’s Gala. Stay well!
All the best!
Chris
Adelphi is known for helping each student find their own unique path. Alumna and Adelphi University Trustee Emily Ladau ’13 became a disability advocate, speaker, author of the forthcoming book Demystifying Disability, and a warrior for inclusion and justice. We’re proud to be involved in her important work.
Adelphi continues to set the pace for student success. Our new policy decision removes the minimum GPA requirement for retaining academic scholarships—a step in support of equity and the mental health of students who rely on this important financial support.
Social justice and student leadership are strong ideals at Adelphi, producing four Newman Civic Fellows in as many years. Our 2021 advocate for a better world is Newman Fellow Miguel Velasquez.
Opening the doors of college education to nontraditional students is an important initiative at Adelphi. More than 60 continuing education workshops will help them advance their professional skills, and we offer them affordability and easy online access.
Transforming Lives in an Unprecedented YearOur latest President’s Report tells the story of Adelphi’s continued mission and success, thanks to a resilient and determined community. See how we protected one another, stayed on course, and became state leaders in the public health crisis of the century.
Here are some recent media highlights:
There’s no question the case deserves the type of scrutiny it is getting. Americans want to see justice at work and we deserve to.
