We’re driven by the three Cs – Curriculum, Composition and Climate, i.e., we promote intercultural awareness and respect; offer academic programs that appreciate a depth and breadth of perspectives; and recruit diverse students, staff and faculty.

Adelphi University has a strong support system for diversity, equity and social justice. Our office helps sustain these efforts through the Diversity Committee and mentoring and recognition programs.

Looking for your community? You’ll find the social, academic and professional support you need at Adelphi through multiple offices and programs and dozens of diversity-related clubs and organizations.

Adelphi offers rich cross-cultural and diversity-focused educational experiences in many areas of study, from African, Black and Caribbean Studies to Gender Studies. We help students of diverse backgrounds succeed academically through mentoring and other special programs.

Adelphi faculty and staff members, through our partnership with the Office of Human Resources, can earn a Diversity Certificate. This program is also available to the community at large through our College of Professional and Continuing Studies.

Improving faculty hiring and retention, exploring and implementing curricular changes, improving teaching and learning environments to support students of color, and working with the University’s diversity councils—this is just some of the work addressed in the first year of the Academic Diversity Implementation Team (ADIT).
