Moving Adelphi Forward

Our Shared Vision and Strategic Roadmap for 2022-2027

Our Momentum 2 video outlines how the Adelphi community will follow the Momentum strategic plan’s extraordinary results with three new goals aimed at making the University “an unparalleled place of learning”—and transforming lives.

In small group gatherings and university-wide forums, more than 1,400 students, alumni, faculty, and staff engaged in thoughtful planning and evaluation. We shared, listened, learned, and discussed our goals.

Momentum 2, also known as M2, was designed by the Adelphi community to continue the success of our previous strategic plan Momentum through 2027–with even higher targets and increasingly innovative goals.

M2 was approved by the Adelphi University Board of Trustees in June 2022.

Our Approach

A small student-to-faculty ratio, with exceptionally high academic quality, gives every student hands-on learning and close interaction with excellent faculty. Our belief in one-to-one learning is revolutionizing the university experience for thousands of students.

Our Mission

Our University transforms the lives of all students by creating a distinctive environment of intellectual rigor, research, creativity and deep community engagement across our Core Four areas of focus: Arts and Humanities, STEM and Social Sciences, the Business and Education Professions, and Health and Wellness.

Our Vision

We will become a nationally respected leader—a standard bearer—for redefining the practical and personal value of education for students, helping them define their success in the classroom, on campus, in careers and communities, and beyond.

Four Overarching Themes

As an essential part of these three larger goals, we make the commitment to honor four themes important to all University work:

1. Fostering diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging: Our work will eliminate equity gaps, foster a respectful environment, and enhance a sense of belonging for all.
2. Serving each other, our students, our community, our region and society at large: Our work will continue to promote a core value of Adelphi’s legacy — community engagement. It enriches our experience and improves the world around us.
3. Maintaining an integrative and collaborative approach: Our work will bring our community together to break down silos and collaboratively accomplish our strategic vision. Success is rarely achieved in isolation.
4. Ensuring accountability and effectiveness: Our work will be documented and communicated quarterly, to share our plans, progress, and success metrics continually. Strategy is not effective without execution and accountability.
