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!

We look forward to seeing you back on-campus next October, 2020 for the fourth annual Adelphi Spirit Weekend.
