Office of Government Relations

Our Mission

The mission of the Office of Government Relations is to promote and facilitate public policy objectives that support and enhance Fordham University’s reputation and unique standing as the Jesuit University of New York City. Working in concert with government officials, business and industry representatives, other colleges and universities, the campus community, and alumni, it is the goal of this office to ensure that the public policy interests of the University and its Board of Trustees are served.

Work with Us

Fordham’s faculty, students, alumni, and staff are the university’s best champions. We want to hear from you about the policy issues that are important to your work or role and help you be an effective advocate.
