Alumni Legacy Families

The Piccirillo-Tudisco family legacy at Adelphi University is an extended group of family members who have attended Adelphi since the 1980’s. There are 16 family members who have attended Adelphi over the decades. Teresa Piccirillo-Tudisco attended Adelphi starting in 1989, graduating with her BS in Education ‘93 and MS ‘97. Teresa originally decided to go to Adelphi because her older brother Angelo Piccirillo was already attending Adelphi and was having a fantastic experience. During Teresa’s time at Adelphi she made wonderful friendships and had amazing professors and classes. Adelphi and the Education Department solidified her desire to become an early childhood educator. Adelphi made her transition from student to teacher smooth and effortless and provided her with many opportunities for career success.
