Returning Rams were not about to let a little rain get in the way of a good time at Fordham’s Jubilee and Block Party reunions. More than 2,000 alumni, family, and friends joined the annual festivities this spring.
Perennial favorites like the family-friendly Jubilee picnic and Saturday night gala drew 1,500-plus grads to Rose Hill from May 29 to 31. The weekend also introduced an all-class welcome party. The crowd danced to the Morris Brothers, a band led by twins Robert and Steven Morris, both proud members of the Class of 1991.
Two weeks later, on Friday, June 12, more than 600 alumni made their way to midtown Manhattan for the Block Party at Lincoln Center. Passing thunderstorms forced the fun indoors, but grads and guests brought a spirited energy to school-specific receptions before uniting at the all-school dance party.
Beyond the events, alumni stepped up to support the next generation of Rams through this year’s Rise to Reunion campaign, which runs until June 30. So far, hundreds of grads from the Class of 1966 to the Class of 2021 have contributed more than $6 million to support Fordham students.
