We had an awesome time last night on the set of General Hospital at the LA Presidential Reception! It was great catching up with new and old friends, meeting prospective students, and hearing from Fr. McShane and team about all the exciting things happening with Fordham University and Fordham University Alumni.

Keep your eyes out for our next chapter event to be held in March (Malibu Wine Hike back by popular demand 😎🏞🍷)!

Hi LA Fordham Rams!

Just a reminder that we will be having an alumni event at Operation Gratitude this Saturday morning (12/15) from 9AM to 1PM to make Care Packages and Pouches for our Military and First Responder Heroes.

Since 2003, Operation Gratitude has shipped over 2.1 Million Packages and Pouches, with the support of over 525,000 Volunteers nationwide.

I am a Regional Director for the company, and I received an Operation Gratitude Care Package when I was in the US Army and deployed on the border of Turkey & Syria during the 2015 holidays, so these Assembly Days hold a very special importance for me, and I hope you all can attend.

I will meet the group at the front entrance at 9AM and be wearing a maroon Fordham shirt. Here is the address:

21100 Lassen St,
Chatsworth, CA 91311

Here is my phone number. Feel free to give me a call when you arrive: 571-474-9232
