Fordham University held its annual convocation to honor its longest-serving employees. Fordham gave out the Bene Merenti medal and the Archbishop Hughes medal to employees who have held jobs at Fordham for 20 and 40 years, respectively. Family and friends of the various honored employees were on hand to watch the ceremony. Rev. Joseph M. McShane, S.J., president of the university, spoke at the event, asking the families of those honored to stand and clap in recognition of their achievements. Joseph R. Cammarosano, Ph.D., was unique in that he was the only employee at the service to be recognized for 60 years of service. He is only the second person in Fordham’s history to be given the Bene Merenti medal, which is given to an employee for every 20 years of their service, three times. The Sursum Corda award was also given to employees who have made outstanding contributions to the university.
