Spirit Weekend 2020

The third annual Adelphi Spirit Weekend was filled with a record number of alumni, students, parents and families, faculty, staff and friends – we loved having so many Panthers come home to the campus in Garden City!

Save the date for Spirit Weekend 2020, October 23-25!
We look forward to welcoming all our Panthers back on-campus for the fourth annual Adelphi Spirit Weekend.

During Spirit Weekend we will be celebrating the Class of 1970 50th Reunion. If you are a member of the Class of 1970 and are interested in joining your 50th reunion planning committee, please contact Katie Grant at kgrant@adelphi.edu.
