Tony Vozza is a man on the go. Literally, he commutes from Westchester to Fordham every day. But does that stop him from being one serious campus celeb? Absolutely not! From the field to OSLCD, you can find Tony around campus. In November, you probably saw him hosting the Commuter Student Association’s annual Thanks-Give-Away. Tony talked to Her Campus Fordham about this fabulous event, and gave us a little sneak peak into his crazy commuter life.
