About Our Current Issue

Health = Wealth

Life in the aftermath of a pandemic made more apparent the critical, complex link between our health and financial well-being—from its impacts on our individual lives to the swings of the global economy.

At Adelphi University, our faculty has seen the signs of this connection and created a body of research that seeks to understand it. Across many disciplines, their work reveals how physical and mental health profoundly affects financial stability, while the reverse is just as true. From the economic impact of chronic illness and unaddressed mental health issues to how childhood physical activity shapes adult financial outlook, the association is clear; their research illuminates pathways forward that can improve the physical and financial health of society.

Inside, you’ll also be treated to a glimpse of (and a listen to) the creative work of our arts faculty, and multidisciplinary research that spans fascinating topics—from using machine learning to track the impact of climate change on birdsong, to identifying the roadblocks to widespread adoption of electric vehicles. Our endangered planet has costs upon our finances and our well-being.

I hope you dive into the innovative work of our faculty and witness for yourself the many ways they are actively creating the next generation of scholars among our students.
