Syosset Students Graduate From Adelphi University
It was the first time since the pandemic the school was able to graduate all its students together.
GARDEN CITY, NY — Adelphi University held its 126th commencement ceremonies to recognize graduates on May 23 at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum and awarded more than 1,700 undergraduate and graduate degrees.
"These degrees today seem different, more memorable," Adelphi President Christine M. Riordan, PhD, told the graduating class. "Our students' journeys have been full of plenty of challenges over the last couple of years — this class has been through a lot, but they've also done a lot. Your strength and determination has been admirable."
The May commencement was the first time in two years that the school was able to award degrees to its entire graduating class at once.
