After a historic 19-year tenure May 17 marked the final graduation ceremony for the Rev. Joseph A. O’Hare, S.J., who is retiring as Fordham University’s president. He encouraged this year’s graduates to be engaged in society.
“I pray we become successful, but we should not become complacent,” said Father O’Hare. “You should maintain a healthy discontent about the way things are because you dream of how things could be.”
Ted Koppel and his wife, Grace Anne Dorney Koppel (a Fordham alumna) delivered the keynote address as they celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary. Koppel, who has hosted ABC’s Nightline since the program was introduced in 1980, advised Fordham’s 3,980 graduates to encourage tolerance and stand up for their beliefs.
