What is a Golden Stag?

Once graduates of Fairfield University celebrate their milestone 50th Reunion, they become members of the prestigious group known as Golden Stags. This group is the cornerstone of our alumni family and we are proud to recognize and celebrate their importance to the Fairfield community. Currently, the Golden Stags are made up of alumni from the classes of 1951 through 1975.

Upcoming Events

On Saturday, October 4, the Classes of 1955, 1960, 1965, and 1970 were recognized at the 2025 Golden Stags Reunion. View photos from the event. 

Classes of 1951, 1956, 1961, 1966, and 1971: in the fall of 2026, it will be your turn! More information will be shared in late spring/early summer.

In addition to Golden Stag-specific events and offers throughout the year, Golden Stags are invited to attend all alumni events, both in-person and virtual. Check below for a link to the full listing of upcoming events, as well as links to the Quick Center for the Arts and the Fairfield University Art Museum.
