Adelphi University's 2016-2021 strategic plan outlines six key priority areas to guide its future development. These include growing enrollment, intensifying the student experience and academic quality, fostering a diverse and inclusive community, developing a powerful network of alumni and partners with increased fundraising, modernizing infrastructure, and building a brand and marketing strategy. The plan aims to transform Adelphi into an exemplary modern, metropolitan university.

The Adelphi University strategic plan, named Momentum, was initiated in September 2015 to address declining enrollment and enhance various aspects of the university. Key priorities include significantly increasing enrollment, elevating the university's national status, establishing a diverse and inclusive campus environment, and substantially improving student life and academic offerings. The plan also focuses on expanding global presence, supporting faculty scholarship and research, improving student retention and graduation rates through comprehensive advising, and strengthening community partnerships, with the ultimate goal of becoming a well-known and widely recognized university.

This strategic plan, 'Momentum 2: 2022-2027,' serves as Adelphi University's roadmap, building upon the success of its predecessor. It aims to advance the university's mission, vision, and values over the next five years through six main goals: fostering world-class academics, ensuring student success, establishing a model of diversity and inclusion, creating a more connected university, achieving financial and operational strength, and gaining global recognition and renown. The plan seeks to drive continued innovation, growth, resiliency, and long-term prosperity, with measurable success in enhancing educational experiences, preparing students for careers, and promoting a vibrant campus life.

The Staff Council meeting included discussions on nominations and elections, remote work concerns, and New York's Clean Pass Program. The council also focused on expanding communication efforts through website redesigns, publishing meeting minutes, and delivering a presentation to the Campus Advisory Committee. Additionally, the council reviewed staff feedback submissions, continued the Walk with Staff Council initiative, and discussed programs, services, and activities for the current year, including partnering with campus programs and participating in wellness initiatives. The council reaffirmed its commitment to representing all staff members.

The Momentum Campaign is Adelphi's transformative strategic plan focused on academic success in the humanities, business, STEM, and health and wellness. It emphasizes small classrooms, professor support, and accountability to ensure graduates' success. The plan also supports women through leadership conferences, providing tools, education, and experiential learning.
