Orientation Captains
Orientation Captains are members of the New Student Orientation Team that are unique and essential liaisons between staff, parents, and new students in their role as leaders to the new students as well as Orientation Leaders. These are hard working individuals that embody Cura Personalis in their strong leadership by inspiring the Orientation Leaders and new students in exciting, active, and yet simple ways. Whether you see them as the first ones starting an icebreaker game or beginning the chant: “WE ARE… Fordham”, they are individuals of Competence, Conscience, Compassion, and Commitment which calls them to be models of leadership and serving as men and women for and with others, all for a common goal: Ad majorem Dei gloriam.

Elegance seeped out of every grease-filled pore.
