Meet the Office of Military and Veterans Services Staff

Military-connected students matter here at Fordham. Each point of contact below is fully equipped and committed to answering your questions and hearing your individual circumstances as a prospective student. We know selecting a university can be difficult and that the military community is often underserved in higher education.

The Veterans Resource Center and our staff can answer transition questions, elaborate on Fordham schools, programs, and majors, or simply talk about the university culture and what Fordham has to offer. If you are a prospective student, you don't need a pretext to reach out because supporting our Fordham veteran community doesn't wait until you get accepted.
