Admissions Unveiled

Fun at Adelphi

February 25, 2009 - by Fara Fiore

This week was freezing at Adelphi, but we all found ways to still have fun and stay warm, On Saturday, there was a double header for the men and women's basketball team. This was a Think Pink Event, so there was a group of breast cancer survivors who were invited to come to the middle and received an appreciation award for their resilience in their battle against breast cancer. Almost all my friends came to not only cheer on our basketball teams, but also to show support for the dance and cheer leading teams, who always perform for the crowd during half-time. This week was also the Oscars, so me and my friends in New Hall decided to get together and have an Oscar party! A couple of my friends cooked in the kitchen in New, while the rest of us hung out in the lounge attached to it. This was a perfect Sunday night thing to do. We all got to hang out together and watch the Oscars with the closest to home cooking we can get!

Fara Fiore.

My name is Fara Fiore and I am a junior at Adelphi University. I am a political science and criminal justice major, and hope to some day be a lawyer. Throughout my three years at Adelphi, I have been part of the Pre-law Society, Amnesty International, Hall Council, Phi Sigma Sigma, and Student Government. I also love when intramural basketball starts! I started as a political science major and took a criminal justice class as a general education requirement, and loved it! I immediately asked for assistance in declaring a double major, and my professors and advisors were extremely helpful in making sure everything worked out. My favorite thing to say on tours is "Everything is what you make of it," and college is no different. As a resident or commuter student, it is extremely easy to get involved, making you never want to leave Adelphi.

Jessica Iuteri.

My name is Jessica Iuteri, I am from a small town in Connecticut. I am a sophomore Nursing major and an Excel Mentor at Adelphi. It has been an amazing adventure so far for me, leaving my family was one of the hardest things to do but I knew that by moving away it would help me grow as a person and I have even developed my very own home away from home now. I have even gained sisters, I am apart of Phi Sigma Sigma on campus and it has been a life changing experience I would never regret. I was never one to jump into anything quickly but as I moved into the college life, away from everything and everyone I knew and loved, I quickly learned that college is going to be what I make of it, its not what Adelphi can do for me, it is what I take from Adelphi and make from it. “For once jump in with you eyes closed and be faithful things will turn out just fine,” something I have started to live by. Where I end up one day will hopefully be somewhere warm and working in a hospital, helping everyone that I can and being positive about tomorrow. That’s all you can do, Live for today.

My name is Kayla Zaniboni and I am a junior at Adelphi University. I am a theatre major with a concentration in acting. Throughout my three years here at Adelphi, I have been apart of SAB (Student Activities Board) and Hall Council. I also like to play intramural volleyball. Within the theatre department, I have been involved in many shows including, "The Rimers of Eldritch", "Rent", and "Stage Door." I have enjoyed everyday at Adelphi. Even though it sounds cliché, college is what you make of it; if you put your hand out, there will be another one reaching out for you. The professors at Adelphi are more than just teachers--they end up being role models and sometimes friends. I couldn't imagine being any place else but here.
