2026 Veterans Hall of Fame Induction and Spring Social
Friday, April 17, 10:30 a.m. – 10 p.m.
Join us as Fordham University honors Eileen Paterson with induction into the Fordham Military Hall of Fame, hosted by the Office of Military and Veterans’ Services and the Veterans Affinity Chapter. Paterson will be recognized for her enduring support of ROTC and military-connected students, as well as for her leadership and impact in the defense, space, and civilian sectors.
The ceremony will take place in the morning alongside the Yankee Battalion, celebrating a legacy of leadership, service, and steadfast support of our ROTC cadets and veteran community.
The day will continue with a leadership conversation featuring Paterson and Adrienne de la Fuente ’10, chair of the Fordham University Alumni Association Advisory Council, and will conclude with our annual Military and Veteran Spring Social, bringing together military-connected students, veteran alumni, and friends to celebrate our shared commitment to service. Heavy hors d’oeuvres and a three-hour open bar will be provided.
Tickets to the Military and Veteran Spring Social are $40 for students ($45 on site) and $60 for alumni and friends ($65 on site). RSVP by April 9.
