Spring Weekend Preparations

Spring Concert 2017 feat. Matt and Kim 

The countdown is on!  With less than three weeks until one of the most exciting weekends here at Fordham, preparations are in full swing.  Spring Weekend is a fun-packed finale to all the events going on throughout Spring week.  Fordham student-run organizations bring in big name guest speakers and host so many fun events throughout the week including a guest DJ performance, a comedy show by a famous comedian, and much more. 

 The entire week and weekend is filled with nice events.  However, the most excitement comes on the Saturday of Spring Weekend.  Students enjoy a morning and afternoon on Martyr’s Lawn with an endless supply of food and fun.  Vendors and food trucks are brought in to provide food, snacks, and drinks with students all day in preparation for the featured performance at the concert.  With a different performer each year, this concert is sure to impress the hundreds of students who attend. 

Students line up hours in advance to buy Under the Tent tickets 

 That evening, Fordham’s RHA hosts the Under the Tent dance.  Always with a fun theme, this formal dance is a perfect ending to a long day.  Friends gather together under a tent to enjoy more good music and food and dance the night away. 

Though each year has different themes, performers, and activities, one consistent thing is how much fun the Fordham students have each year.  After working so hard all year, and with finals fast-approaching, Spring Weekend is a nice stress-relieving time to share with friends.
