Senior Nights

Join us for our last senior night for the Class of 2026 on Thursday, April 17, at the Yankees Game! Who Can Attend? Senior Nights are open to current seniors in the Gabelli School of Business at Rose Hill and Fordham College at Rose Hill who are graduating in December, May, or August.
