As a contemporary institution of learning, Adelphi University encourages students, faculty and staff to seek educational experiences outside of the traditional classroom. A variety of diversity-focused training and mentoring programs provide opportunities for members of our community to broaden their horizons and improve our campus climate for all individuals.
The Adelphi University Mentoring Program was created to help ensure academic success, especially for students of color who may be the first in their families to attend college.
The program supports the academic, social and professional development of students at any phase of their undergraduate career. The office skillfully pairs students with mentors who will guide and nurture them to help ensure their collegiate success.
Through training, structured group activities and ongoing conversations, mentors will be well equipped to help mentees successfully navigate their college careers and to help guide their decisions, assisting with retention and graduation
