As the first Adelphi alumnus and parent鈥攁nd the first Long Island native鈥攖o serve as president of the University, Balboni is intimately familiar with the transformative power of an Adelphi education. He graduated cum laude from the University in 1981 with a degree in biology and is the proud parent of an Adelphi alumna. Throughout his career, he has continually served his alma mater, including as an adjunct faculty member and, most recently, as a distinguished member and chair of the board of trustees.

Balboni emerged from a national search as the leader best positioned to secure public-private partnerships, champion the University regionally and nationally, and drive institutional growth. A defining hallmark of Balboni’s career鈥攆rom his roles in government to corporate boardrooms鈥攈as been his ability to build relationships, work with experts and forge consensus. He steps into the presidency fiercely committed to shared governance, protecting academic freedom and ensuring that the Adelphi campus remains a vibrant, inclusive environment for all students and faculty to thrive in.

In tandem with this announcement, Adelphi鈥檚 board named Christopher K. Storm Jr., PhD, who has served as Adelphi鈥檚 interim president since last June, to the newly created role of senior executive vice president of academic affairs and provost. This complementary leadership structure allows the provost to focus internally on teaching, research and student outcomes, while President Balboni manages the complex operational and external facets of the University.

鈥淭he landscape of higher education is undergoing rapid and profound changes,鈥 said William Fuessler 鈥79, acting chair of the board of trustees and chair of the University鈥檚 Presidential Search Committee. 鈥淭o thrive, Adelphi requires a president who is a relentless external advocate and a proven executive. Michael possesses the exact blend of operational strength and external advocacy we need.鈥

“I am thrilled to be returning to my alma mater to lead a community that means so much to me. It truly is a full-circle moment,” said president-elect Balboni. “I have watched how the University has progressed, and I look forward to working with Dr. Storm and the entire community to take Adelphi to new heights as the premier institution of higher learning on Long Island.鈥

鈥淚t has been a tremendous honor to serve as interim president of Adelphi, where I have spent my entire 20-year career,鈥 shared Dr. Storm. 鈥淭he past year provided me with new opportunities to deepen my connections across campus while maintaining the University鈥檚 strong, stable footing before taking our next leap forward. I very much look forward to working with Michael Balboni as we embark on a bold new direction for Adelphi.鈥

Balboni assumes leadership at a time of remarkable advancement and financial strength for Adelphi. The University boasts a balanced budget, a $282 million endowment and a highly successful $100 million fundraising campaign that is nearing its goal. Underscoring this position of strength, Adelphi has achieved record enrollment in two of the past three years and is launching an ambitious infrastructure initiative to further support student and faculty success.

Adelphi continues to elevate its academic profile. Recognized by Forbes as the premier private university on Long Island, the institution pairs this academic prestige with its reputation as one of the safest campuses in America and an NCAA Division II athletics powerhouse. Looking ahead, the University is actively expanding its regional impact through the new Manhattan Center on Fifth Avenue in New York City, delivering high-demand graduate programs in artificial intelligence, business, nursing, social work, psychology, literature and education to meet the evolving needs of the modern workforce.

When Mark W. Jordan 鈥63 arrived at 茄子视频, he quickly distinguished himself as a scholar. After his first year, he earned a full scholarship and continued to receive essential financial support for the remainder of his time at Adelphi. That support allowed Jordan to focus fully on his studies and gain an education that would shape his future. Today, he is committed to making that opportunity possible for a new generation of Adelphi students.

As a liberal arts student, Jordan developed the analytical discipline and critical thinking skills that prepared him for law school and a successful legal career that spanned decades, including 35 years in the healthcare industry. He retired in 2009 and has always credited Adelphi with providing the foundation for his success.

Mark W. Jordan 鈥63 holding and embracing his young granddaughter indoors.

Mark W. Jordan 鈥63 shares a quiet moment with his granddaughter, reflecting the family values and future generations his philanthropy at Adelphi helps support.

Establishing a Scholarship for Honors College Students

In 2013, Jordan established the Mark W. Jordan Scholarship to support Honors College students with strong academic promise and demonstrated financial need. His goal was simple: to help students experience the same transformative opportunity he received鈥攁n Adelphi education supported by scholarship assistance that allows them to focus on learning, growth, and possibility.

Reflecting on his commitment, Jordan said, 鈥淭he education I received at Adelphi shaped my career, my path, and my leadership. Giving back each year is one way I can help ensure students today have that same foundation for opportunity.鈥

Growing Impact Through the Momentum 2 Endowment Match Campaign

Jordan deepened that commitment in 2022 when he became the first donor to participate in Adelphi鈥檚 Momentum 2 Endowment Match Campaign. With a $25,000 pledge to grow his scholarship, his gift was matched by the University鈥攊mmediately doubling its long-term impact for students. His early participation helped set the stage for more to follow.

As part of the University鈥檚 Momentum Campaign: Extraordinary Impact, the endowment match initiative has helped expand scholarship support and strengthen Adelphi鈥檚 long-term investment in student success. By the end of the campaign鈥檚 third year in 2025, it had generated $6.4 million, created 56 new endowed funds, and strengthened 38 existing ones.

Today, Jordan remains deeply engaged as a lifelong learner and educator, delivering lectures on subjects as varied as Shakespeare, the Lewis and Clark Expedition, Sir Ernest Shackleton and the Mutiny on the Bounty at institutions including the University of California, Berkeley; Santa Clara University; the University of South Carolina; and California State University, East Bay, as well as the Walnut Creek Library Foundation, which he and his wife, Cindy, also support. They spend much of their free time traveling and have visited all seven continents.

Leadership Giving

Because his giving reflects the many ways philanthropy can take shape in support of Adelphi鈥檚 mission, Jordan is recognized in all four of Adelphi鈥檚 Leadership Recognition and Giving Societies (LEAD):

Across his endowed scholarship, annual giving, and planned gift, Jordan’s generosity will advance the priorities that shape our University鈥檚 future: scholarships, academic excellence, life-changing student experiences, a modern and beautiful campus, and a diverse and vibrant community. His story reflects the powerful cycle of philanthropy鈥攕tudents supported by Adelphi who later return to create opportunity for those who follow.

茄子视频 is deeply grateful for a transformational $1.77 million legacy gift from the late Lee Steinberg, a devoted patron of the arts and friend of the University, which will significantly strengthen the future of the 茄子视频 Performing Arts Center.

In recognition of her extraordinary generosity, the University has named the Center鈥檚 recital hall in her honor鈥攖he Lee Steinberg Recital Hall.

鈥淟ee Steinberg鈥檚 legacy gift reflects a deep belief in the transformative power of the arts,鈥 said Tom Kline, EdD, vice president of University advancement and external relations. 鈥淗er generosity strengthens not only our facilities, but the student experiences and creative opportunities that define Adelphi鈥檚 performing arts community.鈥

鈥淭he Lee Steinberg Recital Hall honors Lee鈥檚 commitment to a legacy of inspiring student performers and audiences for generations,鈥 said Blyth Daylong, executive director of 茄子视频鈥檚 Performing Arts Center.

A Lifelong Commitment to the Arts in New York

The gift, received in July 2025 from Ms. Steinberg鈥檚 estate, places her among the members of Adelphi鈥檚 Million Dollar Roundtable, which recognizes our most generous donors with cumulative giving exceeding $1 million. Steinberg died in 2021 at the age of 106. Through her bequest, she expressed her wish to support arts programming and performance centers on Long Island, continuing a lifetime commitment to cultural institutions throughout the greater New York region.

Planned giving has flourished at Adelphi in recent years. In Fiscal Year 2024鈥2025, the University鈥檚 pipeline of documented future support exceeded $40 million. All levels of leadership giving at Adelphi are shaping the long-term strength of academic programs, student opportunities and institutional excellence.

In accordance with Steinberg鈥檚 intent, the University has established two funds to support the Performing Arts Center鈥攖he Lee Steinberg Performing Arts Center Capital Fund for immediate physical improvements and the Lee Steinberg Performing Arts Center Excellence Endowed Fund to provide permanent, flexible support for the Center鈥檚 ongoing capital, programming and operational needs. This generous gift reinforces Adelphi’s reputation as a preeminent leader in arts education and performance in our region.

Applause for Improved Lighting, Seating, Flooring and Acoustics at Adelphi鈥檚 Performing Arts Center

Enhancements to the Center will elevate the experience of student performers, faculty directors, guest artists and audience members. Several capital improvements have already been funded through an initial $500,000 allocation, including:

  • A comprehensive refresh of the Olmsted Theatre, featuring new lighting, audience seating, carpeting, acoustic panels and painting, as well as the installation of a new digital sound mixing console
  • Brighter lighting in the Center鈥檚 second-floor dance studios
  • New house lights and work lights in the Concert Hall

Beginning in 2027, annual distributions from the endowment will provide sustained support for artistic programming and facility excellence.

Steinberg briefly served on Adelphi鈥檚 Performing Arts Council and remained committed to supporting the arts throughout her life. Her bequest ensures that generations of Adelphi students will continue to learn, perform and thrive in spaces designed for excellence in the arts.

Advancing The Momentum Campaign: Extraordinary Impact

This seven-figure investment advances Adelphi鈥檚 Momentum Campaign: Extraordinary Impact, demonstrating how philanthropic leadership translates into visible improvements, strengthened programs and lasting institutional growth. Through leadership gifts like Steinberg鈥檚, Adelphi continues its mission to transform students鈥 lives and reinforces its role as a cultural anchor on Long Island.

The University is embarking on a comprehensive modernization initiative, targeting everything from physical infrastructure to digital learning environments. This strategic overhaul includes renovating athletic fields, a specialized computer science lab for students, boosting the institution鈥檚 data center capacity and learning management software.

A significant portion of the project will concentrate on Adelphi鈥檚 Hagedorn Hall of Enterprise and the Science Building. These facilities are slated for essential technical upgrades, including new windows, high-efficiency HVAC systems and chilled water plants. The project also addresses a backlog of deferred maintenance to ensure the long-term integrity of campus buildings and utilities.

鈥淲e鈥檝e entered a transformative era for Adelphi. By leveraging our robust endowment returns and the advantage of current low interest rates, we are prioritizing high-impact strategic investments that would otherwise be out of reach,鈥 said Michael Rhattigan, Adelphi鈥檚 vice president of finance. 鈥淭his is an investment in Adelphi鈥檚 excellence that will yield significant dividends for our students and community for years to come.鈥

The Town of Hempstead Local Development Corporation (LDC) on Tuesday, February 3, announced that it approved the sale of up to $125 million in on behalf of Adelphi. The LDC provides low-interest, tax-exempt bonds to not-for-profit, educational institutions, hospitals, civic entities or charitable organizations within the town.

鈥淭here is no doubt that the sale of these new bonds will benefit 茄子视频, its students and have a positive impact on the economics of the surrounding communities,鈥 Fred Parola, executive director of the LDC, said in a news release about the.

These campus upgrades ensure that Adelphi students receive an exceptional academic experience. In addition, Adelphi鈥檚 new long-term lease for the Manhattan Center establishes a vibrant hub for graduate studies, strategic partnerships and expanded career opportunities in New York City.

Strategic Investments for a Stronger Future

The 茄子视频 Board of Trustees and executive leadership view both new investments as essential for strengthening the University鈥檚 long-term financial health:

鈥淭he board viewed this as a necessary and timely window of opportunity. To fulfill our long-term strategic plans, we must be willing to make bold investments that strengthen our foundation,鈥 said Greg Carey, Adelphi trustee and chairman of public finance and global co-head of sports franchise at . 鈥淭his decision reflects our absolute confidence in Adelphi鈥檚 trajectory and our commitment to providing a premier environment for higher learning.鈥

Adelphi is reaffirming its commitment to strategic growth and modernization following a Standard & Poor鈥檚 (S&P) Global Ratings Research Update issued on January 30, 2026. The agency gave the University a long-term bond rating of BBB+.

S&P assigned Adelphi a 鈥榮table outlook鈥 and affirmed Adelphi鈥檚 strong enterprise risk profile, validating the institution鈥檚 careful, long-term approach to its financial and academic mission.

鈥淭he 鈥榮table outlook鈥 designation from S&P Global Ratings gives our students and families peace of mind. It reinforces that Adelphi remains a safe investment and Adelphi is a great place for students to grow, learn and belong to a community that is built to last,鈥 noted Interim President Christopher Storm, PhD.

Adelphi plans to begin the project by March, with most of the work to be conducted during the summers of 2026, 2027 and 2028. The University expects to complete the work in 2029.

As Adelphi continues to focus on the objectives of efficiency, thoughtfulness and effectiveness outlined in Goal 3 of its Momentum 2 strategic plan, the University can rely on the 茄子视频 Board of Trustees for guidance. That鈥檚 because the board, which oversees the University, is filled with leaders from the world of finance who are providing their expertise to ensure Adelphi’s finances remain resilient in this challenging time for higher education.

Overseeing the Four Essential Parts of University Finances

According to Michael Rhattigan, Adelphi鈥檚 vice president of finance, university finance resembles a four-legged stool supported by reporting and compliance, day-to-day operations, investments, and financing. Most universities and organizations are lucky to have trustees with experience in one or two of these areas. Rhattigan says that Adelphi has trustees with expertise in all four.

鈥淭his concentration of financial expertise on the board鈥攅specially across all four key areas鈥攊s exceptionally rare,鈥 he said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a testament to the history and strength of Adelphi’s education, since nearly every trustee was either an accounting or finance graduate of the University. This robust group significantly enhances the board’s capacity to meet its fiduciary responsibilities and provides the finance team with invaluable access to an unparalleled source of experience and guidance.鈥

Experts in Reporting, Reviewing and Complying With the Law

The reporting and compliance process involves conveying the University’s financial activities and performance to the board of trustees, government agencies and external institutions to gauge Adelphi鈥檚 performance and compliance. The financial results need to be reviewed and audited by third parties to confirm their accuracy, and Adelphi has two trustees with specific experience in this area: Mark Davis 鈥85, a retired audit partner at , and Humera Qazi 鈥93, board vice-chair and a former managing director at and now a managing director at .

“My foundational rigor at a Big Four firm, which offered deep exposure across diverse sectors, has been significantly amplified by my current operations leadership responsibilities at Morgan Stanley,鈥 Qazi said. 鈥淚t is profoundly rewarding to leverage this elite financial, operational and advisory experience to contribute back to Adelphi, where my journey began.”

Keeping a Watchful Eye on Day-to-Day Operations

Operations involve all day-to-day financial aspects at the University, including budgeting, accounting, cash management, purchasing and payroll. Adelphi has three trustees with specific, relevant experience: Loretta Cangialosi 鈥80, a retired senior vice president and controller at who is an emerita board member still working on the Finance and Investment Committee; Michael Sammis 鈥81, retired president, EVP Operations and CFO at Universal Music; and Alexandria Cisco 鈥15, business architecture manager at Accenture.

“As a former senior manager at a Big Four accounting firm and senior finance executive at Pfizer, I understand the financial discipline required in regulated sectors,鈥 Cangialosi said. 鈥淭he pharmaceutical industry has navigated long lead times, intense regulatory scrutiny and significant market competition. These are the very trends now reshaping higher education. It has been exciting to leverage this experience to strengthen our University鈥檚 financial strategy, ensuring we successfully navigate this evolving landscape while maintaining our fiduciary excellence.”

Making Safe, Smart Investments to Ensure a Stronger Adelphi

Investments involve managing the University鈥檚 endowment for current needs, like scholarships and academic programs, as well as strategic investments in the future. Trustees Doug Flynn 鈥89, co-founder of , and Kevin Mahony 鈥83, senior vice president of Eagle View Wealth Management at , utilize their expertise in this area to plan for the University鈥檚 future.

Flynn, who co-founded his wealth management business in 1997, said, 鈥淏uilding and leading a wealth management firm I founded 28 years ago, after a successful career at a major investment firm, has provided me with significant business experience and strong investment knowledge to help guide clients through multiple periods of intense market volatility鈥攅ncompassing both major booms and significant downturns.鈥

Flynn added, 鈥淭hat long-term perspective鈥攖he understanding of risk, preservation of capital and strategic growth across cycles for prudent financial stewardship鈥攊s directly applicable to our University. It’s exciting to give back to my alma mater to help steer its financial operations and ensure the robust, sustainable, mission-focused management of our vital endowment.”

Understanding the Complexities of Finance

Financing involves any borrowing or long-term debt required to fund initiatives, and that鈥檚 where the expertise of trustee Greg Carey, chairman of public finance and global co-head of sports at , fits in.

“My strong bond with the University was forged by watching my son progress and truly thrive through the transformative Bridges [to Adelphi] program,鈥 he said. 鈥淭his is my opportunity to give back and apply the knowledge gleaned from my decades working in public finance in global leadership roles at Goldman Sachs. It is exciting to help the University strategically plan and navigate the financial complexities in higher education.”

Financial Firepower Ensures a Stable Future

By having seasoned auditors, Wall Street veterans and financial leaders, many of whom are alumni, covering all four crucial corners of University finances, Adelphi is doing more than just balancing the books. It is ensuring a strong, stable future for generations of students to come.
