letter from the president
Welcome to Fairfield University!
I am pleased that you have chosen to spend the day with us
at Fairfield in Focus, our open house for admitted students.
Whether this is the first time you have had the opportunity to
visit campus, or you are back to learn more, I am certain you
will find something exciting to discover.
Our faculty, administrators and students are eager to introduce
you to all that makes Fairfield an exceptional community in
which to spend your college years. I hope you will use your
time here today to take a campus tour, hear a faculty member
discuss a typical day in class, or learn more about our clubs and
student services at our Student Life Fair. In the midst of your
exploration, it is important to keep in mind that this is only a
glimpse of what your years at Fairfield will be like.
At the end of your day, I look forward to greeting you at the
President’s Reception in Bellarmine Hall. Come and see where
Fairfield University started to take shape, and take your first
photograph at Fairfield where you will take your last, at your
Commencement ceremony.
I look forward to meeting you.
Sincerely,
