Bhisé Center Enrichment and Events

The Bhisé Center for Global Understanding both creates events that expose the Adelphi community to globally important issues and incorporates its mission into existing University traditions.

This may take the form of an author talk, a faculty lecture, or deep involvement in Adelphi’s annual Scholarship and Creative Works Conference. These events are routes to opening minds, growing knowledge of the past and building a better future for the world.

Extraordinary Minds: Student Campaign for Goa Conservation

Carolina Chaves and Michelle Sarker devised their Greening Goa campaign after experiencing the natural beauty of India. As students in Adelphi’s Bhisé Global Understanding Project, they’re thinking globally and preparing themselves for leadership roles in our world.

The Bhisé Global Understanding Project, funded by a generous gift from Adelphi University alumnus Bharat Bhisé, MBA ’78, is a multidisciplinary program focused on exploring critical global issues and educating students to think globally. The program welcomes and encourages the involvement and perspectives from across the University, including business, the humanities, the sciences, the arts and the health professions.
