On Thursday, April 28 the University welcomed 78 children of Fordham families for its annual Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work day, sponsored by the Fordham University Association.

Each of the Rose Hill and Lincoln Center campuses hosted an all-day curriculum for children aged 8 through 17. At Lincoln Center, students Skye Azhar, top, grandson of Margaret Cluskey (Department of English), followed by Ariana Pertuz, daughter of Sofia Pertuz (Office of Multi-Cultural Affairs) got a lesson in Tae-Kwon Do from Rose Hill senior and blackbelt Gurpreet Parmar.
