Urban Plunge, the pre-orientation event that introduces first-year students to their new communities, returned to in-person events in the Bronx and Manhattan on Aug. 27. Students from Fordham College at Lincoln Center and Fordham College at Rose Hill spread out across the city in solidarity with grassroots organizations, including The Bronx is Blooming, Dyckman Farmhouse, Drew Gardens, Room to Grow, West Side Campaign Against Hunger, and Rosenbach Metro Ministries.
