If you are interested in joining the Council, please reach out to Kathryn Mandalakis, senior assistant director of the Fordham Fund, at [email protected].
Be a Parent Ambassador
Join the Parent Ambassador Committee (PAC). Committee members have the opportunity to join a community of their peers and volunteer with the University in various ways based on their desired time commitment, geographic location, and interests. If you are interested, please reach out to Kathryn Mandalakis, senior assistant director of the Fordham Fund, at [email protected].
Partner with Career Services
Fordham parents can partner with the Office of Development and Career Services to work directly with students on professional development. This could include offering internships, mentorships, or full-time employment to students, creating shadowing opportunities, or sitting on a roundtable or panel. If you are interested, please reach out to Kathryn Mandalakis, senior assistant director of the Fordham Fund, at [email protected].
