Traditions

Homecoming

This October Rose Hill event brings football and school spirit to its apex. Alumni and the surrounding community come out to celebrate the annual event in the Bronx.

Spring Fling

Lincoln Center hosts this special spring day with a carnival on the Plaza. Free food including ice cream and cotton candy are served while palm readers and caricaturists offer their services.

Midnight Breakfast

A several-year-old (and hopefully eternal) annual treat held during the end of the school year. Lincoln Center's cafeteria opens at midnight for a delectable buffet of pancakes, muffins, sausages, and more, served by your own University president, Father John McShane.

Playwrights' Festival

Both Rose Hill and Lincoln Center host these events for budding playwrights (they are not affiliated) to submit new plays that will, pending a student vote, be produced for the public. Lincoln Center's group has recently become an active club called the Playwrights' Guild which hosts various activities throughout the year for young writers.

Senior Week

So you're done with classes and need to fill seven days with fun until you receive your diploma? Senior Week is both a faithful and ever-changing week of festivities reserved for those preparing to leave Fordham. Traditional events include the Senior Cruise, while new events include a Family Mass and a trip to Atlantic City (somehow, the two go together quite nicely).

USG Winter Ball

Lincoln Center's annual winter formal. A dinner and a dance, served at a rotating New York destination.
