Mother Nature didn’t get the memo about the proximity of March 17th to the first day of spring, but that didn’t stop 250 proud members of the Fordham community from donning their most festive winter duds and marching in the 253rd Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade.
The morning started with a pre-parade brunch hosted by PricewaterhouseCoopers and then saw the group, led by Joseph M. McShane, S.J., president of Fordham, and Grand Marshall John T. Ahern of the International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE), march the nearly two-mile parade route, Irish eyes smiling the whole way.
