Leadership Welcome

Dear Leadership Donor,

Fairfield University is rising to a new level of academic excellence and prowess. Recently recognized as a national leader for its Fulbright program by the institute of international education and the chronicle of higher education, and for its computing capabilities as one of the top 20 "most connected" universities nationwide by The Princeton Review, Fairfield is positioning itself well for educational leadership in the 21st century. The extraordinary role of The President's Circle in all that is being accomplished cannot be understated.

While every gift to the University is important, Circle members are a select group of benefactors who demonstrate their commitment to Fairfield at the highest levels of annual giving. Their leadership support is imperative to Fairfield University's excellence, growth, and development as a Jesuit and Catholic institution educating students in the Ignatian spirit. A Jesuit education anchors our students' collegiate experience in a strong value system - transforming students who, after graduation, have the power to transform society. Through their generosity, Circle members become part of the transformative power of a Fairfield education - helping thousands of students shape their own and our shared future.

Please take a look at Circle gifts in action to witness the application of such generosity today. For those who are current members, I offer my deep gratitude for your role in shaping Fairfield for our current and future students. If you are thinking about becoming a leadership donor, I offer my personal invitation to join us in advancing the University's Jesuit mission and moving Fairfield forward into an exciting new era. To all, I offer my prayers for God's many blessings.

Sincerely yours,

Jeffrey P. von Arx, S.J.
President
