Fordham Prep Ramview: You're Always From the Bronx
From the Nominator
Over the last two years, we adopted a new strategy for our regular community magazine, Ramview—each issue would focus on a particular theme. They have included athletics, academics, our Catholic Jesuit mission, etc. Our most recent edition focused on our home borough, The Bronx. Being located in the Bronx is a vital aspect of the school community, one that we had shied away from in recent years as the demographics of our student body shifted. However, alumni of an older generation have a fondness for the borough, and our new students see the value in our location and how it helps define the student experience. The edition was an instant hit with our community. We received more emails about this edition of Ramview than we have the previous four editions combined. We even had alumni who own Bronx businesses ask if they could be highlighted in future editions.
From the Judges
A classically designed collegiate publication with a fresh update. Burgundy colors on each page call back to the brand successfully. Predetermined font choices of headers and body copy all call to mind reverence and adherence to the school's brand book. Great job!
