Spirit Weekend

Spirit Weekend

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.

Calendar of Events

From campus tours to milestone reunions, Spirit Weekend 2025 offered something for everyone. The celebration kicked off for faculty, staff, and students on Wednesday, October 1, and continued through Sunday, October 5—a true reminder that together is a great place to be.

Students, faculty, and staff also showed their creativity and Panther pride through the Spirit Spot Showdown, where participants painted campus parking spots with colorful, spirited designs.
