Happy new semester, Panthers!

​

We come back to campus with a lot to reflect on: a controversial new presidential administration; the Gaza caese-fire and hostage releases; the greater Los Angeles wildfires; the passing of one of the last century’s greatest artists, David Lynch; and much more — small and big, global and personal. There’s also quite a bit to anticipate with the spring semester beginning. For one, it can be the start of you exploring more interests as a student — in classes, clubs, with friends or however else you choose. Even if you don’t actively have any New Year’s resolutions, there’s definitely this new feeling I’d say most of us feel with the change from 2024 to 2025.

​

The Delphian will continue to provide you with articles that come straight from the Adelphi student body. It’s with this that I’d like to remind you that we’d love to hear what you have to say as Adelphi students. It’s a great start to pick up a copy of the paper like you’ve just done, but if you’d like to make yourself heard either in a quote contribution, letter to the editor or a full-fledged article, we encourage you to do so. Our goal is to lift up students by giving them an outlet and highlight the sometimes-underrepresented parts of campus life. For example, if you’re part of the LGBTQ+ community, this may be especially relevant following the recent inaugural address, so we’d like to hear your take, among those of many others.

​

Needless to say, there’s a lot of uncertainty ahead of us. I’m confident that there will be a good deal of positives Americans will experience over the next few years. But we should always stay aware of what’s happening and use our platforms to raise others’ eyebrows.

Stay optimistic, Panthers, and thank you for reading!
