Fordham Prep Welcomes the Class of 2022
After two days of faculty and staff orientation, September 6th
and 7th marked the start of the new school year at Fordham
Prep with orientation for students. This included the newest
members of the Prep community, the Class of 2022.
Rev. Christopher Devron, SJ and Dr. Joseph Petriello ‘98 welcomed
and challenged the classes to become men for others and be open
to the ideals of faith, scholarship and service. Afterwards, the
freshmen participated in their induction ceremony and received
their class pins.
Members of the Counseling Department welcomed the freshmen
before they were treated to a presentation on Education in the
Ignatian Way by Religious Studies Chair, Mr. Randall Pedro.
While the freshmen were being welcomed, returning students met
their mentors, reconnected with classmates and took ID photos.
On their second day of orientation, the freshmen met the Deans
and were led on tours by upperclassmen. Outdoor and indoor
activities and a barbecue completed the day.
Best of luck to the returning students and especially to the
incoming Class of 2022. May your years at the Prep be
memorable as you become men for others in the Ignatian
tradition.
