Fordham’s educational journey reflects years of dedication and perseverance. He earned an Associate of Science degree from Miami Dade College after completing coursework through the Institute for Educational Empowerment and demonstrating a strong commitment to academic excellence.
His latest achievement builds on an impressive educational foundation.

Looking toward the future, Fordham plans to pursue a bachelor’s degree in communication and public administration. His academic interests align closely with his passion for service, leadership, and making meaningful contributions to his community.
Throughout his educational journey, Fordham has remained focused on personal growth and creating opportunities for a better future through learning and skill development. His accomplishments reflect the transformative impact that education can have on individuals seeking to build new pathways for success.
“To me, education means more than just textbooks and long hours of studying,” Fordham said. “To me, it means redemption. I want to show people that, for guys like me, our past is our past. We can move forward as formerly incarcerated men and actually make a difference in society.”
PRI Enterprises leaders noted that Fordham’s success exemplifies the organization’s commitment to supporting personal and professional development through educational and workforce opportunities.
“Larry’s determination and dedication serve as a powerful example of what can be achieved through perseverance and a commitment to lifelong learning,” PRI leadership said. “His success demonstrates the importance of investing in education and creating opportunities for individuals to reach their full potential.”
