Greetings! Adelphi is increasing our impact and earning honors.   Our new BS in Health Sciences is a foundation for almost any career in healthcare. And our nursing program continues earning impressive national rankings.  In honor of National Women's History Month, I share two stories: how Adelphi advances women in STEM, and how our first all-virtual theater production—by and about women—has won Kennedy Center Honors. University Professor Paul Moravec is up for a Grammy this month, and on Wednesday, March 31, we launch Adelphi’s annual Giving Day in support of our students and our future. All the best, Chris Georgia, my family’s bulldog, is a Panther at heart.
