Dear Adelphi Alum,

A favorite alumni event at most universities is Homecoming Weekend and Adelphi’s is fast approaching. 

We invite you, your family, and your guests to come home to Adelphi’s campus on the weekend of October 9th through October 11th.  You and your guests will be able to select from a wide selection of activities ranging from NCAA sports and performing arts events, to lectures and surprises at the always popular Alumni Tent.

Homecoming Weekend 2009 promises to be a celebration of new and old alike; you’ll have the opportunity to tour the university’s beautiful new facilities as well as attend the re-dedication ribbon cutting for Woodruff Hall.  For the complete schedule of events for Homecoming 2009 you can visit: http://alumni.adelphi.edu/homecoming2009/calendar.php.

On Saturday night, October 10th at 7:00 p.m. we hope you will join fellow classmates at  The Retro Reunion at the Garden City Hotel’s exclusive nightclub, POSH.  At this special event we will be celebrating the anniversary of all graduation years ending in '4 and '9 ( from 1964 to 1999,) as well as recognizing some outstanding alumni for their spirit, loyalty, and achievement. Come enjoy a night of music and dancing, great food and an open bar, as you greet old friends and reminisce about your Adelphi days.
