During its annual Homecoming celebration on October 7, Fordham University will officially dedicate its football and soccer stadium, located at the Rose Hill campus, in tribute to Joe Moglia. Moglia, a distinguished alumnus of Fordham Prep from the Class of 1967 and a graduate of Fordham College at Rose Hill from the Class of 1971, will have his name immortalized on the stadium.
Joe Moglia boasts a remarkable legacy as an accomplished football coach and a visionary business leader. Remarkably, he joins an elite group of Fordham alumni, being only the fourth recipient of the prestigious Fordham Founder’s Award. Additionally, his outstanding contributions to the university have earned him a place in both Fordham’s Hall of Honor and its Athletics Hall of Fame. Moglia’s achievements extend beyond Fordham, as he is also recognized in the Hall of Honor and Football Hall of Fame at Fordham Prep, and in 2009, he received an honorary doctorate from the University.
“Joe embodies the Fordham way,” said Tania Tetlow, Fordham’s president. “From his time as a student at the Prep, his undergrad days at Fordham University, and throughout his business and coaching career, Joe has been closely connected to Fordham and all this institution stands for. Joe has made us proud by clearly living the Fordham principles and mission. The stadium upgrades wouldn’t be possible without Joe’s continued generosity to the University. We are honored to name this stadium after him.”
