The program provides opportunities for the students to work as a team under the guidance of a faculty member on a real project for Adelphi. In the fall semester, students participate in leadership development opportunities and identify their team project in consultation with executive leadership from the university. During the spring semester, most of the students’ efforts are on their team project, which is an “initiative for Adelphi”.
