Senior Class Welcome

Dear Senior,

As a graduating senior, you may not realize that your four years at Fairfield have been supported annually by thousands of others who have navigated the campus walkways before your class. Why have so many given annually to support your educational experience? While there are as many reasons for giving as there are students and alumni, here are some of the most common:

Building a sense of commitment...

Giving to Fairfield demonstrates a commitment to the Jesuit mission of developing men and women for others. This spirit of generosity actually encourages people to give more than just money to the school. A commitment to Fairfield presents itself in many ways - through interest, time, concern, and financial resources.

Making a difference...

Giving to Fairfield makes a personal difference in the life of every student. Annual Fund donors directly impact the lives of Fairfield students by enhancing their educational experience in so many ways - from academic initiatives to technology to residential living and more.

Enhancing the value of a Fairfield degree...

Giving to Fairfield sends a powerful message to the broader community. Participation in the Annual Fund is among the factors considered by college rating services such as U.S. News & World Report. Higher participation rates enhance the University's reputation and the value of the degrees it confers.

Please remember that gifts of all sizes make a difference. Take a moment before graduation to give online or through the mail - and join the thousands of seniors and alumni who show their commitment and make a difference for Fairfield every year.

Sincerely yours,

Jessica Colligan '03
Associate Director of Annual Giving
