Fordham University

Ramses is having a generational run in New York this summer!

As we prepare to celebrate Independence Day, a fascinating piece of American history is coming to light thanks to Fordham faculty expertise. 🇺🇸

Robb Haberman, PhD, a history instructor at Fordham, was recently granted exclusive access by the descendants of Revolutionary War soldier James Selkirk to edit and publish his rare, firsthand memoir. Unlike most accounts written by high-ranking officers, Selkirk’s diary offers a gritty, authentic look at the sacrifices made by rank-and-file soldiers, including enduring brutal New York winters and advocating for veterans' rights.

Welcome to the Ramily, Pope Leo XIV!

When Christopher Carrino Jr. ’26 arrived at Rose Hill, he knew that following a legendary name would take immense hard work.

Growing up as the son of newly minted Hall of Fame broadcaster Chris Carrino ’92, Christopher’s goal was always to find his own distinct voice. Over the last four years, he did exactly that by treating WFUV Sports not just as a campus radio station, but as a professional launchpad.

While the seats in Keating Hall haven't changed much since his father's time on campus, the scope of hands-on opportunities for our students has completely transformed. Christopher Jr. is graduating not just with a degree, but with the real-world portfolio required to shape the future of sports media, including live reporting from Radio Row at Super Bowl LX in California, covering professional media pools at Yankee Stadium and MSG, and more.
