Letter from the Editor
Bringing you news from Adelphi University
The Delphian is proud to announce that we received Outstanding Organization at the 2021 Virtual Brown and Gold Awards. The awards took place on May 10. Thank you to all of the writers, staff and faculty who helped make this possible.
Fall (objectively the best season) is in full swing, Panthers!
In our latest issue, we have some articles to help you embrace the holiday season. If you're away from home or are simply looking for something else to do leading up to Thanksgiving, flip to page 8 to learn about the best places to visit in New York to get you in the right mood for the remainder of November, into December. You can also enjoy the coziness of fall in your own home, and our delicious fall recipes on page 9 give you some comfort food options.
The recent presidential election is now in the books, and whether you're celebrating or grieving, it's important to keep in touch with others' perspectives, which some of our editorial staff helped bring to students' attention during the Freedom of Expression Symposium, which you can read about on the front page. The importance of hearing others out and journalism's role can also be seen on page 5's article about an inspiring new professor at Adelphi. For many, the big issues go beyond those in the U.S., and you can gain an even broader view of global current events on page 5's article about the UNGA.
Our student leaders are always making a mark on our campus, in the form of new clubs (pages 4, 6, 7 and 8) and community activities (page 6).
This edition's opinions section (page 10) has a mix of pop culture and what may seem like a challenging economic reality for some, and our sports pieces continue to put a spotlight on our amazing student-athletes who show off their skills on and off the field.
Along with the Communications Department, we'll be holding our 11th Annual Media Career Expo on Tuesday, December 3 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. in Blodgett Hall room 109. Adelphi students can attend to get insights from recent college graduates who have all landed their dream jobs. Pizza and soda will be served.
As always, our writers and editorial staff deserve a big thanks for making our paper informative and creative. And thank you for reading! Make sure to follow our Instagram, @the_delphian, for updates about the paper.
