Our Mission:
The mission of Fairfield University's Orientation Program is to introduce both first year and transfer undergraduate students to the developmental resources, unique opportunities, and engaging experiences afforded them while attending Fairfield University. Through a comprehensive and collaborative effort, we welcome you to a community of active and service-oriented learners who are eager to assist you in the understanding and appreciation of the unique experience Fairfield University offers as a Catholic university in the Jesuit tradition.
Our Orientation Program is designed to accomplish the following outcomes:
Go and Set the World Aflame
- Students will be able to articulate/recognize the University's Jesuit mission.
- Students will be aware of the opportunities on and off campus to get involved in giving back to the communities and world around them.
- Students will be introduced to and embrace the diversity present in the world.
A Life of Learning
- Students will develop and share their intellectual curiosity.
- Students will be introduced to and experience the academic environment of a Fairfield University classroom.
- Students will have raised self awareness of their goals and expectations of university life and beyond
Who am I called to be?
- Students will understand the importance of involvement both on and off campus and link to successful college transition, persistence, and perseverance.
- Students will be able to identify various offices within the Division of Student Affairs (Office of Student Activities, Student Diversity Programs, Residence Life, Campus Ministry) as involvement resources.
- Students will make connections with faculty, staff, administrators and other students in order to increase matriculation and satisfaction.
Wellness for the Mind and Body
- Students will be able to recognize and articulate strategies for balancing their academic, co-curricular, work, social, and personal lives.
- Students will increase their understanding of the health and wellness issues that may arise during their college careers: nutrition, stress, STDs, intramurals, recreation.
- Students will be able to identify resources that can assist them with health and wellness issues (health center, academic advising, disability support, dean of students, and counseling services).
