Veterans Alumni Chapter

The Fordham Veterans Alumni Chapter links military-connected alumni of Fordham to Fordham's present day military-connected community, including both student veterans and ROTC. 

The Veterans Alumni chapter is composed of two subgroup: veterans who attended Fordham itself, and veterans who were commissioned through Fordham ROTC. 

The Alumni chapter links the experiences and services of veterans to current students veterans and Cadets, enables support for participants, and stewards the distinguished legacy of veterans from Fordham and New York City. 

For more information about the chapter, email veteransalumnichapter@fordham.edu.

Since 1848, Fordham has provided leaders of character for service to our country. 

As we prepare to celebrate the 175 anniversary of military training at Fordham in 2023, we want to identify all veterans from Fordham - both veterans who came here to study, and students who became veterans from here, whether commissioning through ROTC, enlisting, or finding another path. 

Please help us by registering as a veteran alumni.
