On Dec. 6, Joseph M. McShane, S.J., president of Fordham, welcomed donors, faculty, and staff back to the annual President’s Club Christmas Reception at Cipriani’s famed 42nd Street venue. After showing proof of vaccination, guests mingled, ate, and made merry as the Fordham University Choir serenaded them with Christmas carols. In his remarks, Father McShane told the story of St. Nicholas, pointedly told donors, “I know that you are St. Nicholas; You’re Fordham’s Nicholas.”
