Adelphi University's Center for Career and Professional Development Honored with Career Development College of Distinction

Adelphi University’s The Center for Career and Professional Development has been honored as a Career Development 
College of Distinction.  


Adelphi is the only college on Long Island to receive the award this year!


The Center for Career and Professional Development offers career advice, individual career counseling, and a multitude 
of accessible programs and training, such as the PREP for Success program, America Reads, as well as Panthers 
with a Purpose and the Jaggar Community Fellows programs, and events like Mock Interview Night and career fairs 
every semester. These programs are designed to help students secure employment opportunities after they graduate.


Adelphi was selected because of these programs and assistance offered by the Center for Career and Professional 
Development. All of their offered programs promote integrated career exploration and various career preparation 
methods. These are core values of career centers selected by the Colleges of Distinction.


Associate Director of Outreach at Colleges of Distinction, Jordyn Harrison says “the support they have for undecided 
students through workshops, courses, assessments, and career counseling” was a major factor in her decision to 
award the honor to the Center for Career and Professional Development.


The Center also works with students to find creative options that align with their interests and goals.


“One thing that stood out to me about Adelphi's Center for Career and Professional Development is their philosophy 
that ‘a student's major decision does not necessarily equal their career decision’,” says Harrison.


The Center for Career and Professional Development is hosting a year of new events and workshops as well as running 
their annual programming. Don’t just visit them in Nexus 225! Follow them on Instagram (@adelphicareers), Twitter
