As the Fordham University class of 2026 prepares to walk the stage at graduation, we look back on their time here through four years of headlines from The Ram.

This year, Fordham Athletics bids farewell to a remarkable group of athletes. Dominant winning streaks, new program records and performances that caught the attention of professional leagues. Let’s take a moment to highlight some of the outstanding athletes who will be moving on from Fordham.

When I think about the first time I toured Fordham, I remember two things. The first is that I was wearing a mask (the year was 2021), and the second is that underneath that mask, I couldn’t stop smiling at the Gothic architecture. At The Ram, we used the term “greystone confines,” coined by Editorial Director Emeritus Jonah Ring, FCRH ’26, to describe our Gothic Rose Hill campus with its bells that ring every hour from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., echoing beyond the campus gates.

I think it’s pretty poetic that the new moon falls on our graduation. It marks the start of a new phase in a lifelong cycle of experiences and growth.

With the 2025-2026 academic year coming to a close, another phenomenal class of students is graduating. As they move on to new chapters of their lives, they offered some words of advice to Fordham undergraduates on how to wisely use their four years on campus.
