Giving day is here! At Fordham University Lincoln Center, The Observer strives to tell these stories in ways that truly matter to our Fordham community — every day, every article, every post, every video, every podcast and every issue.

As we enter the year 2022, we boast a 50+ member editorial board, 80+ contributing members and are continually expanding. We bring ongoing coverage of Fordham’s COVID-19 response, live Tweets of year-round sporting events and highly anticipated daily mini crosswords, while still maintaining a biweekly print issue that covers both of Fordham’s undergraduate campuses as well as the surrounding neighborhoods in which they reside.
Finally, of course, your donations will also allow us to print more outstanding editions of The Observer, with additional color pages and the same in-depth journalism that is the foundation of all we do.
If you are able to support our mission, thank you — from the bottom of our hearts — for investing in the future of journalism.
