The Bhisé Center for Global Understanding fosters global awareness and prepares students for leadership and addressing pressing global challenges.

In alignment with Adelphi’s Momentum 2 strategic plan, the Center supports the internationalization of our campus through curricular and cocurricular initiatives and events, including a global lecture series, invited guest speakers and visiting faculty. Together with faculty, we seek to create innovative opportunities for global learning and leadership.

Funded by a generous gift from Adelphi University alumnus Bharat Bhisé, MBA ’78, the Center for Global Understanding is rooted in creating an understanding of the world based on verifiable facts.
