Dear Students,
As we prepare for the exciting move to our new location in Brooklyn, we want to provide you with information and resources to make your transition as seamless as possible. As we’ve shared previously, our new location at 179 Livingston Street (floors five to seven) at the St. Francis College (SFC) campus in Brooklyn provides many attractive amenities as well as easy accessibility and access to goods and services. Adelphi’s main office will be located in Suite 5204 (fifth floor).
For students who will begin classes on August 13, we will have dedicated Adelphi staff in the main lobby of 179 Livingston Street on-site that day to greet you and help you transition to this new space.
We’ll also provide more updates via email and on our website as they become available. Please reach out to Joanna Duarte, site and student services coordinator, at jduarte@adelphi.edu or 212.965.8340, ext. 8343, with any specific questions or needs.
Note: Adelphi students will not have access to 75 Varick Street after August 9.
The Gordon F. Derner Center for Psychological Services will continue to operate at Varick Street through August 11. For more information, contact Dr. Monica Pal, mpal@adelphi.edu, director of the Derner Center for Psychological Services, or Maria Etwaroo, clinical specialist, at metwaroo@adelphi.edu. Patients will not be seen at 179 Livingston; however, more information will be coming in regard to a dedicated space for therapy. Until the new therapy space is available, please conduct all therapy sessions on HIPAA-compliant Zoom with applicable consent for teletherapy.
