Welcome from the University President

For employees who are commencing employment with Fordham University ("Fordham University" or "the University"), on behalf of Fordham University, let me extend a warm and sincere welcome.

For employees who have been with us, thank you for your past and continued service.

I extend my personal best wishes for success and happiness here at Fordham University. Fordham is a special place to work, filled with diverse people who strive for excellence in all their pursuits. We’re a spirited community, valuing the entirety of the human experience for all, including our employees. Much of our Jesuit History and Mission comes down to three ideas, which, translated from the Latin, mean:

  • Strive for excellence in everything you do
  • Care for others
  • Fight for justice

This is what makes us Fordham. As an employee, you immediately become a part of our community and our 175-plus year history, and together we strive to change the world—one person at a time.

Tania Tetlow
President
