Franco Riggio, PAR, & Palma Riggio, PAR
Staten Island, NY

Pietro, today you stand before us as no longer a boy, but a man. A man who has achieved incredible things & will go on to achieve even more. We always believed in you & your potential. As Vince Lombardi, an alumnus of Fordham University, once said, “The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, & the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.” However, don’t lose yourself in trying to be the best. Instead, find the truest version of yourself & live in the present because the past is a lesson and the future is a blessing. Also, success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful. Promise us you’ll always remember that you’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, & smarter than you think. Remember that whatever you chose to do, we will always be there to support you. We love you so much & will be forever proud of you. Congratulations Pietro and Class of 2020!!

Phillip Cicione, FCRH ’87
New York

Dear Member of the Class of 2020: I want to congratulate you on your graduation. I want you to know that as an alumnus & a Fordham Parent, that I am truly sorry that your time at Fordham is ending like this. I want you to know that it does not have to end. You may be disappointed with the situation right now, but you are leaving one Fordham community to enter another one. You are entering a family that takes care of its own, & you should recognize that as fellow alumni you can lean on those of us who came before you, & you should. Once the dust settles, use our alumni networks to take your next step. There are a variety of Regional Alumni Chapters & other ways to connect with us. So, use your resources, stay healthy, stay positive, & remember we care. Go Rams!!!

Esme Bleecker-Adams, FCLC ’21

Class of 2020, I am so sorry that you are going through this unprecedented time. You deserve to have the final few weeks of Fordham that so many of us will never forget. I hope that you are able to find comfort in each other and in the values that Fordham stands for. Community is more important than ever before. Please stay strong and united. Wishing you all the best. If you can get through this hurdle, there is nothing you won’t be able to conquer as you embark on your goals after Fordham.

Alondra Pavon, FCLC ’05
Mexico City, Mexico

Special message for Theatre majors: I can’t imagine your disappointment by not having a senior showcase. Please know that you will have plenty of opportunities ahead to showcase your talents. Never let anyone tell you “you can’t”. Live your dreams with open eyes and make them come true. I will not lie, there will be plenty of no’s and frustrated auditions, but as long as you have a clear reason for doing what you love, the rejections will be part of the path and there will come a time where you might even begin to enjoy those frustrating times. The best is yet to come!!! Never lose sight of your dreams, but also know that dreams might change and that’s ok too! Wishing happiness and success for you all!!

Hanna Read, GABELLI ’16
New York, NY

You are each part of the Fordham Family, and that isn’t defined by how much fun you had as a second-semester senior or by your Senior Week. It is defined by your character, strength and attitude in this unprecedented time. Your time as a student at Fordham is a gift that will continue to carry you through this difficult time, and beyond. Just like New York, we, as a family, are resilient. While your semester and graduation isn’t how anyone would imagine it, you are leaving Fordham with so much more than the memories you made on-campus. Remember that and carry it with you always. 

Martine De Matteo, FCRH ’18
Ossining, NY

Your class has faced a challenge like no other, but you’re Fordham-bred, and Fordham rams face every challenge head on. The way you’ve come together virtually shows that nothing can stop your passion, and you’ll keep pushing on. From your first day at Fordham orientation, I remember your bright spirit. The class of 2020 is unstoppable! Congratulations and good luck!!!

Matt Prochilo, FCRH ’06
Shrewsbury, MA

Fellow Rams: Congratulations on your graduation! Though it is not possible for you to gather together in celebration of this important milestone at the present time, you may discover sooner what older rams have learned over years: the greatest summation of your four years at Fordham will be the friendships that continue for the rest of your lives. Stretch your senior week festivities over the course of the next ten years, and GO RAMS!

Hali Reiskin, PAR

Meena we’re all so incredibly proud of the intelligent, strong, insightful and thoughtful young woman you have become, you have grown so much during your college years and approached each challenge head on, embracing the Jesuit way if thought and attaching to that framework your innate sense of purpose.

Yay Ram/fam. Love you Meean Bean! You inspire. 

Patricia DiCerto, FCLC ’92

Thank you for your commitment to the Jesuit mission: being men and women for (and with) others in your home communities. We look forward to celebrating with you soon (and hopefully very soon!). 

Edward Wachtman, FCRH ’69
British Columbia, Canada

Last year I attended my 50th Fordham reunion. Walking the beautiful Rose Hill campus and meeting old friends was wonderful. It made me reflect on what it meant to be "Jesuit educated." To be curious; to question; to be guided by values not greed; to understand learning is not about career or money, but about living life to the fullest and the deepest. I'll be long gone by your 50th reunion. I hope you can return to Fordham with similar insights and look back on a life well lived.

Mark Josh, PAR

I know you will only continue to grow and enjoy success because you have a huge heart that you will no doubt use to improve as many lives possible. I want you to know that I am blessed to have you as a friend and I truly looked forward to marching across the aisle with you, meeting yet another milestone in our friendship. I hope we will one day still have that opportunity to graduate together. But for now I am content with riding this crazy pandemic ride with you. Together, apart. Happy social distancing for now. May you take this much needed time to rest and may God bless you always. With Love, Your Friend Crystal

Alexis Jimenez, FCRH ’16
New City, NY

To the class of 2020: I can’t imagine what this must be like for you. When I remember where I was 4 years ago it was a time of joy and celebration for the many accomplishments that I had earned. In this time of isolation it can be hard to celebrate. It can feel like your accomplishments are negated. But whether you physically get to walk down and take your diploma or not, you have still earned every right to celebrate. You have endured challenges that no one else has and you have shown the strength and perseverance that would make anyone who once called Fordham home proud. I hope you all are extremely proud of yourselves for everything you have accomplished in the last 4 years. One day, when you look back at this time, let it be in admiration of your strength and may you get the celebration you deserve. Stay strong and stay safe!

Olivia Taylor, FCRH ’19

We recognize that this is certainly not how you pictured the end of your senior year. Know that the Fordham community has kept you all in our thoughts. Have faith that one day you will see your classmates again and be able to gather with loved ones in celebration of your accomplishments. Though your time as a Fordham student is coming to a close, your journey as Rams is just beginning. Now, more than ever, the world needs you. Go forth and set the world on fire!

Robert Tornatore, FCRH ’87
Westchester, NY

I have dreamed of participating in one of my four children’s graduations at Rose Hill. My third, Sarah, even though I have dreamed of a child graduating on Eddie’s parade. Once a graduate, your heart and soul never leaves. And that is what eases my pain for my daughter and I. I wish I could experience that magic of a Father's help in handing his child’s diploma at Keating tower. I know that the magic of Fordham Rose Hill will bring all graduates back for the rest of their lives.

Nicky, congratulations on earning your degree. We are so proud of you. To my graduating students, I offer three quotes to live by: 1) "Common men go nowhere, you have to be uncommon" – Herb Brooks, Head Coach, 1980 US Olympic Hockey Team. 2) “One person can make a difference, & everyone should try.” – JFK 3) "My hope is...that you become organized & clear-thinking,...that you need not try to recall what your lecturer said,...but that you are able to figure things out...at your exams, next year, & forty years from now!" – Krish Moorthy, Professor Emeritus, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology

When Father McShane named you “the Visionary Class” on that beautiful Accepted Students Day 4 years ago, no one could have imagined what laid ahead in the future for Fordham's DODRANSBICENTENNIAL (175th) Class. You would indeed be forever memorialized & remembered as the Fordham Class that graduated during an unprecedented time period in the world. It was a prophetic word from Father McShane bestowed upon you that day. COVID-19 has not been your downfall or curse, but your call to dig deep & exercise a persevering & enduring inner strength you did not realized you possessed. You are destined for greatness in more ways than you know! Take heart, be strong & courageous, for who knows that you have been born for such a time as this, Michelle Rodriguez and Class of 2020!

Congratulations Jaleesa, this is your day!!! Your hard work is on full display as you graduate today! Consider it a defining milestone in a very long and a blessed journey. All your hard work has paid off and we are SO very proud of you. You did it! No matter where you go, no matter what you do, I know you will remain ambitious. You wouldn’t be here today if you weren’t. Match that ambition with humility – a humility of purpose. The author Madeleine L’Engle wrote, “Humility is throwing oneself away in complete concentration on something or someone else.” In other words, whatever you do with your life, continue to be a resilient builder. Be different. Leave something worthy. Legacy. You are our ancestors’ wildest dreams. Continue to follow your dreams. There’s NOTHING you can’t do. Love you my sister!  

Rupert G. F. Pearson, GSS ’20
Bronx, New York

Congratulations to the class of 2020. In our time here at Fordham we grew, our thinking was challenged, and our minds are more open to new experiences. We are in a time of unprecedented challenges. There are so many uncertainties, but we are ready to stand up with purpose and a sense of community healing in these changing times. As we move forward into the unknown we do so with family, friends, and a Fordham community firmly behind us. So let us continue to embrace our fighting spirit, challenge the status quo, stand up for the voiceless, and be the change-makers that Fordham has prepared us to be. Congrats to the class, my class of 2020! #ramforlife

Salvatore & Elissa Ventura

Peter, so you are about to graduate college. Huh. Wow, how much time has passed since the day I was escorted out of Methodist Medical Center, the day you were born.  Watching you grow physically & mentally has been amazing. Like a roller coaster, there have been ups & downs, but overall you keep moving forward. You have arrived at the first checkpoint of your life, but like most races, the goal has not yet been reached. So keep your foot on the pedal & keep the motivation at its peak level until you get to raise the ultimate prize. Never forget the morals & values you have been raised with, or you may see socks & underwear again. On behalf of Aunt Elissa, Pietro, Antonio & myself, Uncle Sal, I'd like to say, we love you & we are proud of you. Congratulations & good luck.

While right now things seem uncertain and you may be confused about the path forward, I can promise you that there is no uncertainty in the forever home you’ll have at Fordham University. There is a whole world of fantastic alumni experiences and opportunities waiting for you, so make sure to remain plugged in to everything Fordham will continue to offer. As Father McShane says, visit often and remember to speak highly about your experiences at alma mater Fordham as every single one of you has helped make it the place we all know and love. You are now an integral part of its legacy! Congratulations!

Patricia Scalia, PAR
Massapequa, NY

You are what’s filling up our hearts today with the greatest sense of pride & making the tears fall. Today we were supposed to be excitedly waiting for you, sitting within a sea of maroon colored hearts in front of the breathtaking steps of a sunny Keating. We’d be listening to hear your name, Briana Scalia, ring out, & watch you walk across that stage to receive your well earned degree. This moment in life has been paused, but nothing can change how beyond happy & proud we are of you today and always. You have grown and accomplished so very much in your academic career, in particular during your time at Fordham. Always giving your all to everything and everyone. 

Patricia Scalia, PAR (Continued)

Life has a strange way of challenging us. This is not the way we imagined this day, but we are certain there is no pandemic strong enough to dent your passion & nothing you won’t be able to conquer in life. Although you’re entering a very different world from the one you expected, we are confident you will soar high. There is nothing but sky for you! You have set the foundation & you’re already on your way! Congratulations our beautiful girl! You did it! Magna Cum Laude! Today you may not have a cap and gown. You may not be able to turn your tassel or toss your hat up. But soon you’ll be reunited with your Fordham Family to celebrate the resilient remarkable Class of 2020. That day the caps will touch the sky! Your 'Pomp and Circumstance' moment is coming! When it does, it will be sweeter than ever!

These are interesting times we are living in. You are the first group to go out there and see what it is all about. This is a time to be flexible, curious about the choices you have made to this point.  Ask yourself everyday: What do I need right now? Then ask God to help you recognize it.  Take extra care of yourself during this time of transition. Explore the agreements you made. Write new agreements with the world and with yourself. This a time to take a big leap into something new while others are looking away.  Leap, leap, and don't look away.  Success to you on your newest life adventure!
