Senior Legacy Campaign

Senior Legacy Campaign

Join the Class of 2025 in giving back through the Adelphi Senior Legacy Campaign!

The Senior Legacy Campaign encourages all senior class members to participate to ensure the Class of 2025 leaves a meaningful legacy.

The funds will provide a scholarship to Panthers with financial need. If we raise $25,000, the University will match it dollar for dollar, resulting in a $50,000 endowment, ensuring our Class’s impact will continue to resonate in perpetuity.

Every gift will count towards The Momentum Campaign: Extraordinary Impact. 

All donations of $5 or more will receive a commencement cord.

Why Should I Give?

There are so many reasons to give to the Senior Legacy Campaign. Here are a few:

  • Be a part of something bigger than yourself. You may think that a gift of $20.25 or any smaller amount couldn’t possibly make a difference, but what if everyone in your group of friends teamed up to show their support of Adelphi? What if every student in our class made a gift? When combined with the participation of our entire class, your gift will make a tremendous difference.
  • Leave your mark on campus. Our class gift is going to make an Adelphi education a reality for students for years to come. What better way to give than to leave a legacy that will last on campus forever?
  • Increase the value of your degree. Many publications, such as U.S. News & World Report, look at alumni giving percentages to determine national rankings for colleges and universities. The stronger Adelphi’s student and alumni support is, the higher our national ranking becomes. This adds value to your degree, and will set you apart in the eyes of potential employers in the years to come.
  • Pay it forward. Whether we realize it or not, donations alumni have made through the years have helped support the opportunities we had at the University. Now it’s our turn to continue the Adelphi tradition and provide resources for future students.
