Jane Austen’s 250th Birthday Party

Fordham is celebrating the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth with a festive event (please see the invitation below). Austen is a brilliant novelist, worthy of the serious study that so many Fordham faculty, students, and alumni have dedicated to her work. She is also one of most beloved authors of all times, a veritable celebrity whose birthday is being fêted around the world. We want to join the party and lean into the fandom fun. There will be tea, cake, and entertainment as well as birthday presents for a few lucky attendees. Click register to RSVP!
