Life As An Adelphi Panther

Transcript

It’s awesome to know that Adelphi students get so much attention in class, but what’s it like outside the classroom? With over 90 clubs and activities, exciting athletics and intramurals, there’s lots of student life. Sarah’s here to tell us all about it. She’s super confident now, but that wasn’t always the case. Let’s find out why at the Panther statue. Take it away, Sarah.

– Thanks Alex. Hi everyone. I’m a senior psychology, major in Adelphi’s education program. I knew I wanted to be a teacher when I was young, and Adelphi’s five-year master’s program for education, is what drew me into the school at first. But it’s not the only reason that I stayed. When I first came to Adelphi, I was scared to put myself out there, but it quickly changed when I met the amazing community here. These panthers inspired me to attend club meetings and explore different activities around campus. Starting with the student activities board. They were so welcoming and made me feel like I belonged. I am honored to say that I am now serving as the president of the very same club. From there, I joined a sorority. Joining a sorority has been by far one of the best experiences of my life. These girls became my best friends and support system to the past years. The wide range of Adelphi’s clubs and activities is surely something I have taken advantage of. They’re so important in helping students find one another and finding those with similar interests. The center for student and community engagement runs all clubs and organizations on campus. They’re are a great resource and support system for helping each student find what club is perfect for them. I am so happy that I chose Adelphi University. Adelphi has given me not only skills to use as a teacher, but it’s taught me how to work with others, take on leadership roles, and help new students do the same. When a student comes to Adelphi, they don’t just get an amazing college education, they get a great college experience. Back to you, Alex.

– Wow, Sarah, I absolutely love your journey becoming a student leader through all the amazing activities at Adelphi. I bet being in charge of a classroom will be a piece of cake for you now. And I love that five-year program saving you a year of tuition, very smart, but we expect nothing less from a future teacher. Thanks again.
