Upon his retirement in 1991, President Adamian received honorary degress from both Bentley and Boston University. 

The trustees of Bentley asked that President Adamian continue to serve as Chancellor and President Emeritus, and he was a dedicated voice for Bentley as an ambassador and a fundraiser. As the college entered another significant fundraising effort in the early 1990s, President Adamian proved invaluable in continuing to secure the future well-being of Bentley. 

He retired from the Board in 2002, and was given the title of Trustee Emeritus. His relationship with Bentley, however, did not end. He was a regular fixture at Bentley Commencement, proudly attending every ceremony from 1955 to 2015. He was also a respected member of the higher education community, continuing to contribute his knowledge and enthusiasm through his later years.
