WELCOME TO FAIRFIELD UNIVERSITY!
Welcome and congratulations on the start of an exciting new chapter in your lives! The Orientation Team has carefully organized the next three days with activities and experiences to make sure that you receive the resources to thrive at Fairfield.
As you embark on your Jesuit education, take some time over the next three days to reflect on the multiple communities you are now a part of – your First Year Experience group, your residential/community community, and the cohort of students starting at Fairfield today. Engage and connect within these communities with the spirit of love and care for each other.
Highlights of Fall Welcome include interacting with resident assistants and new student leaders, experiencing your first “red sea” at the Stag Pep Rally, taking your class photo, participating in group bonding experiences, gaining a deeper understanding of what it means when Stags step up for each other, and finding your way around campus. This is the time to make the most of your Fairfield experience, and we are here to help!
Go Stags!
