THE FORDHAM UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT'S COUNCIL

Joseph M. McShane, S.J., President of Fordham University

“Although it was founded just nearly seven years ago, the President’s Council has already had a remarkable impact on the life and mission of the University. Through its support of the Founder’s Dinner, it has enabled the University to build endowments to support our Presidential Scholarships Program; through its Executive-in-Residence Program, it has enabled our students to interact with and learn from some of our most accomplished alumni; and through its networking events, it has enabled our students to meet and learn from wise and loving mentors. On the basis of its proven record of achievement, I am confident that in the coming years the Council will raise the University’s profile in the wider world and boost our alumni’s pride in their Alma Mater, and thus enable us to realize the ambitious dreams that we have for Fordham.”

As chairman of the President’s Council, I’m honored to help build on the Council’s past successes and work to create something that generates great pride in our members. Fordham has given so much to so many — it’s our moment to ensure that the next Fordham generation may prosper and live the American Dream.”
