Check out the ABCs of Fordham University at Rose Hill:

1. A is for Arthur Avenue

If you want to know where Fordham students spend all their money, look no further than the restaurants on Arthur Avenue.

2. B is for The Bronx

The home of the Rams.

3. C is for cat

taken by me

These babies have become famous for roaming around campus and making Fordham their home.

4. D is for the D-train

Students know the walk to the subway way too well.

5. E is for Eddie’s Parade

taken by me

Everybody knows this is the campus hotspot during warm days.

6. F is for family

It sounds corny, but we really are one big family (RAMily) here at Fordham.

7. G is for Gabelli

taken by me

Business attire and Airpods sold separately.

8. H is for home

Again, I know this sounds corny, but it's true that Fordham has become my second home.

9. I is for intelligent (and inspiring!)

Our credentials speak for themselves.

10. J is for Jesuit

We're New York's first Jesuit university.

11. K is for Keating

taken by me

Quite possibly the most beautiful building on the entire Rose Hill campus (sorry, Duane Library!).

12. L is for learn

There's always something new to discover.

13. M is for McShane

my picture

Our president is THE face of Fordham.

14. N is for New York

Fordham is our school, New York is our campus.

15. O is for opportunity

I honestly feel so lucky to have all the opportunities I'm given here at this school.

16. P is for Pugsley’s

This is--hands down--every Fordham student's favorite pizza place.

17. Q is for Queen’s Court

taken by me

This dorm will always have a special place in my heart. Plus, rumor has it Lana Del Rey lived here!

18. R is for Rams

taken by me

Once a Fordham Ram, always a Fordham Ram!

19. S is for squirrel

These small babies will steal your heart… and your french fries from Urban Kitchen.

20. T is for team

taken by me

Whether it's a sports team (shoutout to the hockey boys!), acapella group, dance squad, or any other club, you'll always find yourself part of a team.

21. U is for unity

Need I say more?

22. V is for volunteer

The Bronx is Blooming

It's so easy for students to find volunteer opportunities here at Rose Hill.

23. W is for women

Fordham is definitely a place for women to flourish.

24. X is for X-tra special

Did you know Edgar Allen Poe's famous poem "The Bells" refers to the bells of Keating Hall?

25. Y is for Yankees

Yankee Stadium is only a fifteen-minute subway ride from campus. Batter up!

26. Z is for zoo

taken by me

I doubt you'll find a Fordham student who hasn't taken a trip to the Bronx Zoo on one of their days off.

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself?
