Spirit Weekend brings together our entire Panther family—past, present, and future. Students, alumni, faculty, staff, parents, families and friends are all invited to celebrate what makes Adelphi so special.
You’re Invited! Come Celebrate Spirit Weekend, October 3-5, 2025
Join Adelphi for our ninth annual celebration of Panther pride. With something for everyone—from family-friendly carnival games to reunions, home games, and performances—Spirit Weekend is the perfect time to come home to Adelphi …or get to know us better!
Calendar of Events
Some activities are designed for specific groups, while others are open to everyone. Whether you join us for a campus tour, a lively event, or a milestone reunion, there’s a place for you at Spirit Weekend.
Faculty, staff, and students will kick things off on Wednesday, October 1. The celebration continues Friday, October 3 through Sunday, October 5—because together is a great place to be.
