No one! Adelphi has an organization for every diverse culture, gender, and activity. We have organizations ranging from Italian, South Asian, African American, Latin and more! We have LGBT at our school and every sport club possible. Also, if you have want to create and organization that has a possible mission and meaning behind it then you are welcome to at Adelphi University. You are not discouraged or shut down based on your idea, we will help embrace it!

From my experiences at Adelphi I feel that we are a really diverse group of students. We have many cultural organizations along with the other clubs on campus. We are a school that promotes the advocacy of the LGBTQ community. There are SafeZone workshops that the school puts on to show how to be an ally for the LGBTQ community so we definitely care about those issues the world faces everyday. Most students wear what they feel like to class, it varies, some go in sweats and a hoodie when others go in more dressy clothes like skirts or dresses.

I was surprised to see how open my school was with supporting LGBTs' which i praised because i felt that it is necessary to ensure that everyone be treated equal and not be discriminated against because of their sexual orientation. By the school showing a different side than the common i felt that people felt more open to expressing their support. I have yet to see a person being bullied or discrimnated against, everyone is so different that you learn to respect eachothers cultures and history. Everyone is friendly and it is not difficult to make friends because there are always programs and events going on where many different people attend, so you will have many multicultural and multiracial friends. I have never seen anyone being treated unfairly or having privilages because of their financial standings. Unless a perosn chooses to share that information, no one really discuses that.

The students in my school are interesting. They come from different races, sexual orientations, ethnicities, religions and much more. I haven’t seen any racial discrimination amongst the students at Adelphi. In fact, during LGBT month everyone was out and support LGBT including faculty. There is a general understanding that not everyone is the same and that people come from different backgrounds and socio-economic statuses and I’ve never seen anyone being targeted based on any of the aspects mentioned above. People interact with each other all the time maybe because they are in the same club or part of the same fraternity or maybe it’s simply because they share the same job. People come to class wearing all different types of clothing and no one says anything about it. We have a lot of overachievers that dream big and are not afraid to go after their dreams. Many of students are politically active. A couple went to occupy Wall Street and some even started their own occupy Adelphi University.
