“Our father graduated from Fairfield in 1977. He always told us Fairfield had provided him with a well-rounded education. Now that we're seniors, we know exactly what he meant. It's the reason we plan to give back as much as we can after graduation. We want future students to benefit from the same great experience we enjoyed!”
Academic excellence. A vibrant campus community.
Access to opportunity and a future of promise.
Your gift matters.
Proud alumni give back. Here's why!
