Fordham, the Jesuit University of New York, offers a distinctive, values-centered educational experience rooted in the Jesuit tradition of intellectual rigor and personal attention. Since 1841, Fordham’s partner in this great enterprise has been New York. Students enjoy the unparalleled educational, cultural and recreational advantages of living and learning in one of the world’s most diverse and dynamic cities.

Engaged Students The University enrolls more than 15,600 students in its four undergraduate colleges and six graduate and professional schools. With its two distinctive residential campuses— green and gothic Rose Hill, on 85 acres adjacent to the New York Botanical Garden and the Bronx Zoo; and cosmopolitan Lincoln Center, in the heart of Manhattan, across from Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts—Fordham offers students virtually unlimited possibilities for learning and personal growth. The Rose Hill campus houses Fordham College at Rose Hill, the College of Business Administration, the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, the Graduate School of Religion and Religious Education, and Fordham College of Liberal Studies. The Lincoln Center campus, established in 1961, houses Fordham College at Lincoln Center, the Graduate School of Social Service, the Graduate School of Business Administration, the Graduate School of Education and the School of Law. A third campus, the Marymount Campus of Fordham University in Tarrytown, N.Y., is home to the Westchester divisions of the Graduate School of Business Administration, the Graduate School of Education, the Graduate School of Social Service and Fordham College of Liberal Studies. Fordham draws students from across the country and around the world who want to live and learn in the global capital of commerce and culture. The University offers one of the most extensive internship programs in the country. Students choose from more than 2,600 internship options in business, communications, education, government, health care, biomedical research, law, the arts and other fields. The Office of Career Services also offers workshops, career days, one-on-one career counseling and on-campus interviews with major corporations. Students compete for and earn prestigious fellowships and scholarships—including Fulbright, Truman, Mellon and other competitive awards. And each year, more than 1,300 students engage in community service, both locally and in distant corners of the world, through the University’s award-winning Global Outreach program.

Great Teaching Fordham has a proud history of approaching education in a distinctly Jesuit way, one that emphasizes cura personalis, a commitment to nurturing the whole person—mind, body and spirit—and challenging students to surpass their perceived limitations. This kind of education unites both heart and mind, and at Fordham it occurs within and beyond This is Fordham the classroom. Fordham’s world-class faculty is committed to teaching and research. In small classes (the average class size is 22 and the University boasts a 12:1 student-faculty ratio), these scholars and mentors challenge students to develop to their full potential—and they give each student the individual attention he or she needs to excel. Students choose from more than 65 majors and academic programs in the liberal and performing arts, sciences, and business. Every student also completes a rich Core Curriculum that spans literature, history, science, religion, philosophy, the social sciences and the arts, and is designed to nurture curiosity and inspire a lifelong love of learning. Special academic offerings include honors programs, study abroad, dual-degree programs with Fordham’s graduate schools, and pre-professional programs in law, medicine and

Students majoring in pre-health professions are mentored by resident upperclassmen in the new Science Integrated Learning Community. The Lincoln Center campus features McMahon Hall, a 20-story complex that provides apartment-style living and great views of Manhattan. Fordham’s state-of-the-art facilities also include one of the most technologically advanced libraries in the country. More than 130 student organizations offer a remarkable range of programming that capitalizes on the cultural resources of New York City. An extensive athletics program includes 22 varsity sports and a range of club and intramural sports. Each year, the Community Walsh Family Library Service Program gives hundreds of students an opportunity to work together on volunteer projects at dozens of sites in New York City, including soup kitchens, nursing homes, transitional shelters, hospitals and community parks.

A Fordham Degree While not every student-athlete will win a championship, those who choose Fordham and take advantage of the educational opportunities afforded him or her will get something more important. A Fordham degree. Founded in 1841 as the first Catholic institution of higher learning in the northeast, Fordham is an independent university in the Jesuit tradition. It grants baccalaureate degrees in the liberal arts and sciences and business administration to both traditional and non-traditional students. Fordham’s un- dergraduate student body both reflects the diversity of the metropolitan area in which the University is located and includes students from other regions who are attracted to New York’s cosmopolitan culture. Whether educated at the Rose Hill, Lincoln Center or Tarrytown campus, Fordham students benefit from close contact with a distinguished faculty who teach at the undergraduate, graduate and professional Edwards’ Parade levels. The Jesuit tradition informs every aspect of a Fordham education. This tradition is characterized by excellence in teaching and by the care and development of each individual student. Fordham’s undergraduate core curriculum is designed to develop the capacity for clear and critical thinking and correct and forceful expression. It seeks to impart a knowledge of scientific principles and skills, an awareness of historical perspective, an understanding of the contemporary world with its cultural diversity, and an intelligent appreciation of religious, philosophical and moral values. Thus, instruction goes beyond the transmission and acquisition of basic knowledge to the exploration of questions of values and ethics. Fordham insists that its students anchor their knowledge and appreciation of the culture, language, history, philosophy and literature of the Western tradition as well as of other peoples by constantly considering the impact of their behavior and decisions on society as a whole. In the future, as in the past, Fordham will continue to affirm the compatibility of a Catholic, Jesuit identity and respect for diverse religious and philosophical convictions within its educational community. It is in this spirit that Fordham encourages its students to develop an individual commitment to others and explore those themes that are central to the Jesuit tradition: the dignity of the human person, the advancement of the common good and the option for the poor. Of its students, Fordham expects intellectual ability, the desire to engage actively in their own education, a commitment to growth in personal and social values and the willingness to judge and be judged on clear and high standards. Through students’ participation in the intellectual community, Fordham teaches them not only how to use the resources of this world, but also how to make their own contribution.

The Jesuit Tradition Fordham had its beginnings more than 160 years ago, when Archbishop John Hughes founded St. John the Baptist College at Rose Hill, and it has benefited over the years from the services of hundreds of members of the Society of Jesus, a religious order of men, many of whom have devoted their lives to higher education. Fordham has found that its Catholic and Jesuit origins and traditions continue to provide valuable marks of distinctiveness and a source of strength. As a consequence, these traditions, religious ideas, perspectives and values hold an important place in the University. Students of all faiths and of no faith are given encouragement and opportunity to join in seminars and discus- sions of religious issues and to participate in religious observances. University staff members are ready to assist students in the quest for their own religious commitment. These opportunities are not imposed on anyone; their use depends on the interest, good will and initiative of the students. A loving and respectful openness to people of all faiths is an integral part of Fordham’s character. The very nature of religious belief requires free, uncoerced consent, just as the nature of a university requires a respect for evidence, investigation, reason, and enlightened assent. The approach begins with a deep respect for you as an individual and your potential, a principle the Jesuits call cura per- Fordham athletes take pride in sonalis. Because they respect you, our faculty will challenge you to strive for ever greater personal excellence in all aspects of giving back to community, as seen life - intellectual, emotional, moral and physical. That principle, calledmagis , accounts for the rigor of intellectual exchange and the varied challenges you will experience in New York City and the world beyond. at postgame autograph sessions At Fordham, students seek to tap the full potential of mind and heart while leading a life beyond self. Each semester more with the Fordham women’s soccer than 600 Fordham undergraduates follow the Jesuit philosophy of homines pro aliis, men and women for others, by contribut- team . ing their time and talent in service to the community: tutoring the disadvantaged; feeding and clothing the homeless; planning outings for an orphanage; and spending vacation periods in distant corners of the world, from New Mexico to Calcutta, as part of Fordham’s Global Outreach Program.

Success for the Fordham student-athlete is not only found on the fields and courts. It’s also seen in the classroom. Last year, 153 student-athletes were named to the Atlantic 10 Commissioner’s Honors Roll in the fall and 143 in the spring for having a 3.5 GPA or better for the semester and 28 more were named to the Patriot League Honor Roll for football. On the national level, Fordham had a CoSIDA Academic All-America® honoree for the fourth consecutive yearin women’s soccer’s Jessica Widmann. This success is nothing new to Fordham as the Rams have had 31 student-athletes earn Academic All-America® honors since 1968. Widmann was also Academic All-District, along with baseball’s Ryan McNally, men’s soccer’s Jannik Loebe, and softball’s Lindsay Mayer. Locally, the Rams had 12 student-athletes named to their respective Atlantic 10 or Patriot League All-Academic teams along with 11 water polo student athletes named to the AWPCA All-Academic Team and Collegiate Water Polo All-Academic Team.

Fordham University’s home court, the Rose Hill Gymna- sium, is the oldest gym still being used by an NCAA Division I team. The 3,470 seat gym opened on January 16, 1925 for a game between Fordham and Boston College. The Rams took the opener 46-16 in a game refereed by one of the University’s most prominent alumni, “The Fordham Flash”, Frankie Frisch. The Gym was one of the largest on-campus facilities at the time it was built, earning the nickname “The Prairie” because of its large floor space. The original configuration had no end zone stands and a seating capacity of 2,100 but several standing room crowds of 6,000 were reported in the late 1920’s. Since its opening in 1925, the gym has seen numerous renovations, adding new seating, scoreboards and public address systems. The most recent overall renovation occurred in the of 2002 when the gym received new lighting, new stands, a new public address systems, new windows and doors, a new heating system and new scoreboards. In 2013, full color videoboards and sound system from Daktronics were installed. The has been in continuous use by Fordham’s bas- ketball teams since it’s opening with the exception of the World War II years, when it was used for a barracks. The Rose Hill Gym has been the site of many legendary college and high school basketball games including Kareem Abdul Jabbar’s final high school game and the 1988 Tolentine-Archbishop Molloy Catholic High School Athletic Association (CHSAA) Cham- pionship game, billed by the New York Newsday as the “Best High School Game of the 80’s”. The Rose Hill Gym continues to host the CHSAA Championships annually.

The Vincent T. Lombardi Center Built in 1976, the recreational facility is named in honor of Vincent Lombardi, FC ’37, who was a trustee and member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. It contains a 220-yard running track, six tennis courts, a 38-meter, eight-lane swimming pool, com- petition diving facilities, weight rooms, five /squash courts, a bicycle and treadmill room, locker rooms, and sauna. In the summer of 1999, the fieldhouse underwent a reno- vation with new lighting, ventilation and flooring being in- stalled. Located in the Vincent T. Lombardi Memorial Center, named for one of Fordham’s most famous alumni, is the Colonel Francis B. Messmore Aquatics Center, home of the Fordham Swimming and Diving and Water Polo programs.
