This event is a tradition that began at Fordham in 2019 as a way to mirror the school’s Midnight Breakfast, held shortly before finals. The Midday Breakfast provides commuting students with the chance to take part in the same type of celebration, but at a more accessible time for them. Additionally, the Midday Breakfast helps to build a stronger sense of community between commuting students and resident students.
