All across campus and around the world—or even beyond, given our observatory atop Blodgett Hall—the inquisitive minds at Adelphi are pursuing passions, finding solutions and contributing ideas and original knowledge to their fields and to society at large.

Rethinking Adult Social Relationships

Associate Dean Katherine Fiori, PhD, Gordon F. Derner School of Psychology, talks about her research, aimed at understanding how adults can best “lead a happy, healthy life.” They need not just close family ties, she said, but also so-called “weak ties” that present stimulation and “novel opportunities” for social interaction.

Research on Home Healthcare for Older Americans

College of Nursing and Public Health Assistant Professor Zainab Toteh Osakwe ’06,  PhD, discusses the importance of home health aides for the elderly during the COVID-19 pandemic in New York—and the role of the Clinical Education and Simulation Lab (CESiL) home-care setting in nurses’ training.

 

Transforming STEM in Higher Education

Adelphi University’s Professor Lawrence Hobbie, PhD, and Associate Professor Eugenia Villa-Cuesta, PhD, discuss their multidisciplinary effort to inspire diverse students to enter the STEM workforce through the STEM2 Network. This project is funded by a five-year, $500,000 National Science Foundation grant and involves collaboration with biology, chemistry and math faculty at four other local institutions.

This research and scholarship enrich the Adelphi educational experience for our students and contribute to their success.

At Adelphi, our scholars are constantly asking new questions, examining current understandings, and offering new insights to our communities. Our creative artists undertake new works and interpretations of existing works to open our minds and hearts to new ways of being. Taken together, Adelphi’s faculty are leading the way in informing the world towards a better future.
