Spirit Weekend 2025 brought together our entire Panther family—past, present, and future. Students, alumni, faculty, staff, parents, families and friends were all invited to celebrate what makes Adelphi so special.
Adelphi’s ninth annual celebration of Panther pride took place October 3–5, 2025.
With something for everyone—from family-friendly carnival games to reunions, home games, and performances—Spirit Weekend once again proved to be the perfect time to come home to Adelphi or get to know us better.
