The campaign is set to last through 2027 and fund six strategic priorities to improve success on campus. The campaign has already raised $75 million toward the goal.

"The Momentum Campaign will transform our university by increasing affordability, enhancing academic offerings, strengthening students' career outcomes and expanding campus renovations," said Adelphi University President Christine M. Riordan. "Adelphi students will feel the campaign's impact immediately, and its legacy will be the bold future we create as an engine for social mobility and student success."
