Recognizing the importance of a full college experience for its resident and commuter students alike, Adelphi sponsors a broad range of cocurricular activities. Through the Center for Student Involvement, for undergraduates, Adelphi sponsors a number of trips to New York City theatres and coordinates a variety of on-campus social events. For all students, including graduates, Adelphi’s Department of Performing Arts adds to campus life with dance, theatre, and music productions in the recently opened state-of-the-art Performing Arts Center. The Cultural Events Program and the Student Activities Board bring many world-renowned and fascinating speakers to our campus. (For more information on speakers, see the Arts and Events section above.)

Adelphi University is home to more than 80 student clubs and organizations that serve to enhance and motivate cocurricular learning. Undergraduate students gain substantial leadership experience, personal growth, and build a strong connection to the campus community through their involvement in these organizations. The Center for Student Involvement sponsors a Student Leadership Development Program to prepare students for life at Adelphi and beyond. Student leaders represent their peers through the Student Government Association (the voice of all undergraduates) and the Resident Student Association (the voice of the resident student population). Students also contribute to the portfolio of independent periodicals, including the student newspaper, The Delphian. Others meet in student religious organizations or in community service/social action clubs.

There are many cultural awareness groups that promote understanding of diverse backgrounds, and the sharing of cultural experience help prepare students to engage in our global society. Students may also enhance knowledge in their field of study through participation in academic societies and organizations. There are almost two-dozen honor societies on campus to recognize academic achievement through their area of study. The 14 Greek-letter social fellowships, fraternities and sororities promote community service and enhance the social life of many students.

The diverse population of Adelphi is represented by undergraduate and graduate students from 41 states and 57 countries, providing cross-cultural enrichment within the Adelphi community. The Center for Student Involvement, in cooperation with other offices and programs, offers services to support and encourage students from diverse racial, ethnic and cultural backgrounds to participate actively in campus life.
