As the current President of the Fordham College Alumni Association, I have the unique honor of leading a group of very talented directors, who collectively represent the College’s alumni across the country and around the world. Founded in 1905 as a New York State Domestic Not-For-Profit Corporation, the association continues to have an important and relevant impact on future as well as current alumni.
For future alumni (or our current students) the association provides financial support in the form of several endowed scholarships, research grants, and the Rev. George McMahon, S.J. Travel Fellowship. In addition physical gifts, such as the furnishings on Keating Hall’s lounge, are ever present reminders of the associations’ commitment to Fordham.
Historically, the University’s Founder’s Dinner as well as Dean’s Day, can be traced back to the associations’ efforts. More recently, items like co-events with the Mimes and Mummers Alumni Association and WFUV (for their 60th Anniversary), demonstrate the organic relationship between our alumni, the association and the College. We will be continuing that legacy with upcoming events and more programming on the near future.
Finally, my thanks to the entire FCAA Board, with special thanks to Kristin Nazario one of our most active directors, for giving the association the venue for our voice. Keep those posts coming, and Go Rams!
