Started in 2003 through a generous contribution from Horace and Amy Hagedorn, Adelphi's annual lectureship series on Corporate Social Responsibility enables the University to invite prominent speakers to address pressing issues of the day. The series fits with the University's overall goal to create a culture of conscience among students, faculty, staff, administrators, and area community members.
