<br/>This is what makes us [https://www.fordham.edu/ Fordham]: We’re a tight community in New York City, and we value and educate the whole person. Much of our Jesuit history and mission comes down to three ideas, which, translated from the Latin, mean roughly this:
Strive for excellence in everything you do.
