Each year in June, Fordham alumni celebrating their 5th through 50th reunions, as well as all Golden Rams, reunite at Rose Hill to reminisce with old friends during Jubilee Weekend. This year's Jubilee celebration will take place on the weekend of June 5 - June 7, 2009 and marks the anniversary of class years ending in 4s and 9s.

Gifts from alumni have always been an essential part of Jubilee Weekend, and as such, many alumni choose to make a special gift in celebration of their Jubilee year. Contributions can support many meaningful initiatives, including student financial aid, improvements in the academic curriculum, campus renovations, technological upgrades for classrooms, and more.

Any gifts received between July 1, 2008 and June 30, 2009 will be considered Jubilee gifts and will count towards your class' goal. If you have never made a gift to Fordham, your Jubilee year is the perfect time to participate. If you have given in the past, perhaps you will consider increasing your past gift to commemorate this special year.

Many Jubilee alumni choose to upgrade their participation with a leadership level gift, which automatically enrolls them in the President's Club.  Jubilarian members of the President's Club are invited to a special cocktail reception prior to the Jubilee Gala on Saturday evening.
