BRONX, N.Y. – Earlier this academic year, Fordham recognized the newest members of the Magis and Archbishop Hughes Societies, a pair of organizations that honors those who have given generously over their lifetimes to the University.
Â
Members of the Archbishop Hughes Society have made outright gifts and pledges to Fordham totaling $1 million or more. Inductees to the Magis Society have made outright gifts and pledges to Fordham totaling $15 million or more.
Â
Many members of these two prestigious societies have made Fordham Athletics a focus of their munificence.Â
Â
At this year's ceremony, Robert E. Campbell, GABELLI '55, and Joan M. Campbell were enshrined into The Magis Society, becoming the eighth individual, family or organization to earn the distinction.

- Stephen E. Bepler, FCRH '64, and Kim Bepler, Hon. L.H.D, '22,
- Maurice J. Cunniffe, FCRH '54, and Carolyn Dursi Cunniffe, Ph. D., GSAS '71,
- Mario J. Gabelli, GABELLI '65, and Regina M. Pitaro, FCRH '76
