More than 4,000 Fordham graduates, family, and friends gathered at the Rose Hill campus on perfect fall Saturday, October 18, for the annual Homecoming celebration.
Attendees enjoyed food, drinks, music, and performances by the dance and cheerleading squads under the tent on Edwards Parade. Then they headed over to Moglia Stadium, where Fordham football played a close first half but ultimately fell to Dartmouth 30-13.
It was a weekend full of festivities as students from Rose Hill and Lincoln Center danced the night away at the annual President’s Ball on Friday, while more than 650 recent grads gathered for dinner, dancing, and cocktails under the Manhattan skyline on the annual Young Alumni Yacht Cruise. The weekend also featured the 14th Annual 5K Ram Run, a three-lap race around campus.
