Adelphi University's Award-Winning Exploring Critical Issues Discusses the Successful University

(Garden City, NY, May 2015) Exploring Critical Issues, the award-winning televised series conceived and hosted by Adelphi University President Robert A. Scott, will once again bring expert panelists together to discuss important current topics. The latest edition will discuss the factors that contribute to the successful university. It will air for two weeks, beginning on Sunday, June 7, 2015 at 10:00 PM.

“A university’s success is measured in part by its accessibility to students, the success of its graduates, and its agility in meeting societal needs,” said Adelphi University President Dr. Robert A. Scott. “But who decides if a university is successful? What are the standards of success which students and families can consider and match to their own aspirations?”

Joining Dr. Scott to explore this critical issue are the Honorable Roger Tilles, Regent, The University of the State of New York; Laura Anglin, president, Commission on Independent Colleges and Universities of New York; Conrado Gempesaw, president, St. John’s University; and Herman Berliner, provost, Hofstra University.

“The Successful University” airs in New York and Connecticut on Cablevision 29 (Long Island) and 137 (Connecticut and New York area outside of Long Island) and FiOS 296 (New York and Fairfield, CT). It will also stream simultaneously at www.telecaretv.org on the airdates and times as follows:

Sunday, June 7 and June 14 at 10:00 PM

Monday, June 8 and June 15 at 10:30 PM

Seen by nearly ten million households, Exploring Critical Issues has earned four Telly Awards (the cable equivalent of an Emmy) and the 2013 MarCom Gold Award for the Critical Regional Public Policy Issues (broadcast and cable) Campaign.
