Culinary Institute of America Founder’s Day On October 7, 50 members of the Fordham Prep community attended a unique excursion to the Culinary Institute of America (CIA), former home of the Jesuit Novitiate St. Andrew-on-Hudson. Led by Fordham Prep Trustee and CIA graduate Fr. Chuck Frederico, SJ, the trip included a private tour of the historic grounds, followed by Mass and a luncheon at the American Bounty Restaurant. On June 25, Fordham Prep celebrated Founder’s Day with Mass and the dedication of our lobby and renovated Commons. Over 150 people were in attendance to witness the momentous event. Special thanks were given to all the contributors to the 175th Anniversary Campaign to date, especially to the benefactors, without whose funding, the renovation of the Commons and the creation of our lobby would not have been possible, especially: • James ’82 & Diane Rowen • John & Catherine McCarthy, Fallon, Thomas ’17 and Matthew ’19 - The Thomas and Dorothy Leavey Foundation Oktoberfest President's Reception at the Water Club Classes of ’95 and ’96 with the Ram Student Ambassadors at the Water Club Fordham Prep Reception at the Ram-Crusader Cup November 12 was an exciting day for Fordham University and College of the Holy Cross fans as their football teams battled each other in Yankee Stadium for the Ram-Crusader Cup.
