Fordham University past present & future.

  Movies Shot On Fordham Campus-Shriek of the Mutilated (1974) Rose Hill Campus-is that Finlay Hall in the background? IMDb provides this description: (Horror) A group of college students are led by their professor into the mountains in search of the Yeti. The students start to be killed off one by one. Yeti? Big Foot? Abominable Snowman? Or future Ewok?   Don’t know why people forget to lock their doors and windows? Next time you think your work-study program was a bust.

One of the attendees I was there with remembered to hand me a copy of the 2024-2025 Fordham Basketball Program (combined men & women) for the season.      On the pages just before the back cover, they listed all the school’s b-ball records; it covered every offensive and defensive category. I was both proud and amazed when I saw our former classmate’s name appear multiple times.  Under 9 Universal Basketball “Stats” Ann Gregory O’Connell Leads in 5.
