RICCI NIGHT

Matteo Ricci, SJ was an Italian Jesuit priest and one of the founding figures of the Jesuit China missions.  

The secret of Ricci’s success was his ability to go beyond cultural barriers and befriend people of another race and religion. His friend Feng Yingjing's remark brings out the spirit of this great missionary. “He treated the affairs of our fathers as if they were his own and our fathers in turn treated his as if they were ours.”

Guests enjoyed food and fellowship as they honored and celebrated members of our community for their many contributions in promoting diversity and inclusion at Fordham Prep: Mrs. Maureen Martinez and Mrs. Erica Keough received the Wanda Pineiro Award for Diversity, senior Chris Chao received the Matteo Ricci award.

The format of a typical evening includes a brief presentation from a panel of speakers and time for questions and discussion, after which everyone is free to stay for more beer, wine, food and conversation.

It was a full-house on May 1 at The Harvard Club with over 150 alumni, parents, grandparents, students and friends in attendance. We were especially happy to welcome student members of the Prep's Business Club as well as young alumni to this popular networking event.

We are grateful to moderator, Terrence Fay '88 and our featured speaker, Tom Joyce, entrepreneur and former Chairman & CEO of Knight Capital Group. Additionally, a special thank you to Joe Moglia '67, Chairman of the Board at TD Ameritrade and the Head Football Coach & Chair of Athletics at Coastal Carolina University, for introducing Tom Joyce, his long-time friend and colleague.

Mr. Joyce's remarks and forthright comments reflected the Ignatian ideals of service, humility and becoming "a man for others," which helped guide his thinking and influenced his judgment throughout the financial crisis at Knight Capital. His leadership in the aftermath of a monumental electronic trading error demonstrates the importance of honesty and integrity in the face of moral and ethical challenges.
