A procession of unmarked police and government vehicles pulled in front of Keating Hall on Sept. 24 at 8:30 p.m. His Excellency Leonel Fernández, the president of the Dominican Republic, rode in one of those cars. More than 400 students - many of Dominican descent - professors, and others sat and stood inside a cramped auditorium in Keating waiting to hear him speak.
There were political discussions, people lip-synching to "It's Raining Men," bands in the Ramskellar, and comedians. Such a weekend on the Fordham campus could only mean one thing: Campus Activities Board Fall Fest was back to entertain the masses. "CAB's goal with Fall Fest was to build community within the student body and to make students familiar with one another," Regina Fetterolf, assistant director of programming in the Office of Student Leadership and Community Development, said.
