A vibrant place that transcends boundaries, fostering a sense of inclusion, belonging and empowerment for all students.
The 茄子视频 Multicultural Center promotes student success, an inclusive and welcoming learning environment, and cross-cultural interaction and dialogue that fosters and affirms all individuals and their social and cultural identities.
The Multicultural Center, located on the third floor of the Ruth S. Harley University Center, supports Adelphi鈥檚 diverse community of students, campus engagement, and multicultural and global experiences. The center welcomes faculty, staff and members of the greater community for cross-cultural interaction and dialogue. It is a place of learning, offering seminars as well as books, publications and other forms of media exploring our different perspectives and lived experiences. And it is a hub for cultural activities and celebrations as well as programs exploring our social identities.
Most of all, it is a place where all students鈥攅specially BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, international and first-generation students鈥攃an feel at home.
An Inclusive, Supportive Environment
Opened in the fall of 2022, the Multicultural Center recognizes the incredible diversity of our campus community. It is intended to encourage interaction, awareness and understanding, while at the same time affirming our identities shaped by race, gender, sexual orientation, religion and national origin. The center provides a supportive environment where students can be their authentic selves and where they can explore their identities and the global and social issues that affect them. In doing that, it aims to promote student empowerment, leadership and peer mentoring.

Artists at Work: Mural for the Multicultural Center
When art education major Gianna Valente got the chance to design a mural for the Multicultural Center, she wanted to show the diversity she sees at Adelphi. The mural, representing student life on campus, was painted with the help of her classmates.
