On Monday, August 3, and Tuesday, August 4, 2026 the Department of Public Safety and Transportation will conduct regularly scheduled testing and maintenance of the fire pump systems in Residence Halls A and B, the Ruth S. Harley University Center and the Center for Recreation and Sports on our Garden City campus.

This testing is required by New York State and should have little or no impact on your day; you may notice water puddling in .

In addition, the Department of Public Safety and Transportation will conduct mandatory annual testing of the fire hydrants on our Garden City campus from Monday, August 3 through Thursday, August 6, 2026.

Our partners in Facilities Management have asked us to remind you that a slight discoloration of the water may occur after the test. This is only a temporary condition; running the water for a minute or two will resolve it.

Joining a student organization at 鶹ýӳ is a positive, growth-oriented experience grounded in respect, safety and belonging. To reinforce these values and comply with the Stop Campus Hazing Act (Clery Act), 鶹ýӳpublishes a Campus Hazing Transparency Report and maintains a strict Anti-Hazing Policy. The report provides students, families and the campus community with clear, accurate information about substantiated hazing incidents involving recognized student organizations, supporting safe and informed participation in campus life.

What is the Campus Hazing Transparency Report?

While our Anti-Hazing Policy defines hazing and outlines prohibited conduct, the Campus Hazing Transparency Report serves as a public log of substantiated incidents in which established or recognized student organizations were found responsible for hazing violations. It includes:

  • The organization’s name and the nature of the violation.
  • Specific findings, including whether alcohol or drugs were involved.
  • Disciplinary sanctions and key dates of the investigation and adjudication (finding of responsibility).

View the Current Report

The report is updated every December and June and can be viewed on Adelphi’s Stop Campus Hazing web page.

  • January 1, 2026, to June 30, 2026: No incidents of hazing that resulted in investigation and adjudication were reported during this period.

Our Commitment to a Safe Campus

鶹ýӳopposes hazing in any form. We remind all students, faculty and staff that our Anti-Hazing Policy applies to all student organizations—whether officially recognized by the University or not. Violations may result in serious consequences under both the 鶹ýӳCode of Conduct and New York state Penal Law (Sections 120.16 and 120.17), ranging from University expulsion to potential criminal penalties.

This Report Differs From the Annual Security and Fire Safety Report

Later this year, hazing statistics will also be included in Adelphi’s Annual Security and Fire Safety Report (ASFSR), published annually by October 1. Both reports include information about hazing but serve different purposes and follow different federal reporting requirements.

  • Campus Hazing Transparency Report: A public record of only substantiated findings of responsibility involving recognized student organizations.
  • Annual Security and Fire Safety Report: An anonymous statistical summary of all reported hazing allegations occurring within Clery-defined geography, regardless of whether the allegations were substantiated. Because the ASFSR includes all reported allegations, its hazing statistics may be higher than those included in the Campus Hazing Transparency Report.

If You Witness or Experience Hazing

We strongly encourage timely reporting to the appropriate authorities through the following channels:

  • Public Safety: Report hazing by visiting our office on the first floor of Levermore Hall or calling 516.877.3511 (24/7). Reports are shared with Student Conduct and Community Standards.
  • Student Conduct and Community Standards: Visit Levermore Hall, room 208, call 516.877.3612 or email studentconduct@adelphi.edu. Reports are shared with Public Safety.
  • : Submit reports via the University’s , selecting “Hazing” as the main issue. Providing as much detail as possible will help us respond effectively. These reports can be submitted anonymously.

Thank you for helping foster a culture of respect, safety and belonging for every member of our community.

A campus should feel like more than just a place to study—it should be a home away from home. By making our Garden City campus a safe and secure environment, 鶹ýӳ has done just that.

Over the years, 鶹ýӳhas been consistently ranked as one of the safest colleges in both New York state and the country by reputable organizations such as and BackgroundCheck.org. But it’s not just these organizations reporting this. It’s the students, too. In past 鶹ýӳStudent Quality of Life surveys, 92 percent of students felt well-informed about how to respond to campus emergencies, while 94 percent reported feeling safe on the Garden City campus.

Safe Town, Safe Campus

Adelphi’s 75-acre campus is located in the suburb of Garden City, New York. According to local law enforcement statistics, violent crime is exceptionally rare in Garden City, falling well below both the New York state and national averages. Garden City is also ranked as one of the by several sources.

With Garden City as its backdrop, 鶹ýӳhas taken further action to ensure students’ safety at their home away from home. 鶹ýӳmaintains an emergency notification system that can quickly inform community members of any campus incidents. The University also offers an active safety and crime prevention program, including comprehensive safety training. Additionally, all entrance doors to University residence halls are permanently locked 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Any access to dormitories requires an authorized electronic student ID card.

Hop on a Shuttle for Safety

Making regular runs around campus, the Panther Express provides free shuttle bus transportation to nearby train stations, supermarkets and shopping plazas—particularly during the nighttime.

Credit for security on campus goes to the Department of Public Safety and Transportation. The department is committed to transparency and regularly issues a fire and safety report which outlines practices, incidents that occurred on campus and responses to those incidents.

Adelphi’s officers also patrol the Garden City campus—often on bicycles —24/7, 365 days a year. But students don’t need to rely solely on patrolling officers. Students have direct, immediate access to campus security. In the event of an incident, they can dial “5” from any on-campus phone, use the blue light emergency call boxes scattered across the grounds or call the emergency line at 516.877.3511.

Not Just Safe. Safe From Pesticides, Too

Adelphi’s campus is more than just a safe space. It’s also a beautiful green space with prestigious accreditation. In October 2025, 鶹ýӳrenewed its Level I Arboretum Accreditation through , part of the esteemed Morton Arboretum registry. Valid until October 2030, this accreditation places 鶹ýӳon the global registry of accredited arboreta and public gardens. And it’s not hard to see why.

For more than 20 years, 鶹ýӳ has maintained a 100 percent pesticide-free campus that’s fostered a rich biodiversity. Its campus has since become a gorgeous landscape that’s home to more than 100 different plant species, some of them with unique backstories. The azaleas on the flagpole lawn were planted by the Class of 1935 and have thrived for nearly 100 years. The vibrant pink cherry trees and rose garden have become iconic visual landmarks on campus during the springtime.

Plans are currently underway to label plant species and weave the arboretum into academic programs. There’s also a plan to develop a dedicated arboretum campus map that shows key points of interest, allowing students and visitors to explore notable plant specimens across the grounds.

This prestigious arboretum accreditation underscores Adelphi’s unwavering commitment to sustainability. But the University’s biodiversity does more than just protect the planet.

It offers a vibrant, living oasis that provides students with moments of calm and reflection—proving that a truly safe campus is one that protects both the body and the mind.
