Summer Orientation Programs at Lincoln Center

Welcome to the Ramily, Class of 2028!

We are looking forward to meeting you at one of our two in-person Summer Orientation Programs (SOP). The SOPs will be held in person on Monday, June 24, and Monday, July 15. 

The Summer Orientation Programs are an additional opportunity to connect with the Fordham community, as well as engage with parent-specific content. This programming is not required but is a great way to get to know the Fordham community and provides the space for families to ask questions before the transition to Fordham in the fall. A more detailed schedule for the Summer Orientation Programs will be posted in the coming weeks, but the day will begin at 10am and conclude around 5pm.

Thank you to those who attended our SOPs on June 24 and July 15. If you were not able to attend one of these dates, please see below for a series of recordings from sessions throughout the days:
