Who are the most famous members of the Fordham University Class of 1980?

Hard to say, but these folks are on Wikipedia-Well, that's good enough for me. (I would not be plastering their photos here otherwise; public figures and all that.) Their fields vary from academia to banking to law to music to politics to religion.

Do you recognize any of these people? Remember, these are alumni from multiple campuses and different colleges. You probably don't know all of them, but do you remember at least one as a classmate? Anyone else who YOU think should be on this list?

Tale Of Two Universities And How They Handled A Closed College

  Long Island University & the closing of Southampton College vs. Fordham & the Closing of Marymount College in Tarrytown. L.I.U. In the course of the Southampton campus tenure under Long Island University, it produced 34 Fulbright scholars, most of which hailed from the marine science program. After many years of fiscal mismanagement, the University announced a multimillion-dollar capital campaign, launched a new interdisciplinary CORE curriculum and the construction of a new library to revamp the campus. After one year of a 10-year plan however, Long Island University officials ceased all plans, and Long Island University decided to effectively close the campus.

SUNY paid US $35 million ($54,792,500 in 2025.) for the 84-acre campus and its waterfront facility for its famed Marine Biology Department, as well as the NPR-affiliated WLIU FM...

The Fordham College Of Pharmacy Closing

Image
  THE FORDHAM COLLEGE OF PHARMACY CLOSING A number of factors impacted the closing of Fordham University's College of Pharmacy in 1972. Among them the national academic upgrading of pharmacist academic requirements; the changing role of independent pharmacies during the growth of chain retail stores; Fordham's lack of training pharmacy graduates for work in hospital settings as well as the industrial side of this field; The persistent rumor of then various school administrators' lack of support for retaining an expensive college at a Catholic Institution where most of the students were Jewish; Finally, the school's economic downturn in the 1970s bringing this to a head.

Opening in 1912, it moved into the building known today as Thebaud Hall in 1914.   ( Fordham Centurion ©1941) Ford...

  Michele Beach Harrington                                                                                             Executive Director- Alumni and Employer Engagement Long Island University  I was a little nervous meeting her; In large part because she drove up to meet me. We picked a diner in Brewster, NY so she could return home easily, via I-684, to the Long Island campus. For those of us, of a certain age, Michele was quick to remember, “That Brewster is the town where ‘That Girl’ was from.” (Marlo Thomas’ character in the ...
