Spring Weekend 2010 at Fordham was a picturesque event that drew 5,200 attendees to the Rose Hill campus.

The annual weekend of fun, which included movie screenings, a comedy performance, a Willy Wonka-themed dance and lots of food, featured a concert barbecue on May 1. Student bands Average Girl and Penrose opened for the Brooklyn-based synthpop sensation, MGMT.

MGMT played all of their hits, including electro-disco anthems “Kids” and “Time to Pretend.” The event is organized annually by the Campus Activities Board.
