These are the members of "the Fordham family" who lead the departments that make up the School. They assist you as you apply to the three levels of degree programs, and they provide ongoing guidance and advisement as you progress through your program. They set up your classes, arrange your field placements, facilitate your research, and insure that the activities of the school run smoothly. They administer the programs and provide the careful attention to students that have given Fordham its reputation for scholarship and service as a caring, nurturing institution. Peter B.
