Commencement
Congratulations to the Class of 2024!
Class of 2024: Your World Awaits
“Today is the day to glory in what you have achieved,” Fordham President Tania Tetlow told graduates. “What makes you special is how you use your gifts to matter to the world.”
Fordham’s Commencement includes two events: the University Commencement Ceremony and the school diploma ceremonies.
At the University Commencement Ceremony, degrees are officially conferred by the president and students are recognized as a group by their dean. Following the University Commencement Ceremony, individual college and school ceremonies take place. These ceremonies are where students are individually announced and receive a ceremonial scroll from the dean. Please see below for additional details by school.
We also invite you to explore this website to learn about all the events and ceremonies honoring the Class of 2024, resources to help you plan your visit, and much more.
