Opportunities for Students to Participate in Supporting Fairfield

There are myriad ways students may participate in the University’s efforts to generate support from alumni and friends.

Students at any stage of their time on campus may participate in the Student Phonathon or in the Student Alumni Association. Seniors are invited to participate in the Senior Class Gift.

Students are invited to participate in the University’s Student Alumni Association.

The Student Alumni Association is the student organization of the Fairfield University Alumni Association. The SAA’s mission, through its student leaders, is to establish a life-long bond between current students and their future alma mater through networking, service, and philanthropy. We aim to show that even though you graduate, your ties to Fairfield last a lifetime.

Senior Class Gift

The Senior Class Gift was created as a way for the graduating class to pay it forward say "Thank You" to their soon-to-be alma mater as they prepare to depart campus and make the transition from students to alumni.

Your Senior Class Gift is more than a donation- it is a rite of passage that helps our University and future Stags for years to come. Individually, it is your chance to support what you love about your alma mater and directly contribute to the experience of the students that will follow in your footsteps.

Collectively, it is the opportunity for your class, as a group, to make history through its impact, joining each class that has come before you.

Your Senior Class Gift Impact

Senior Class gifts are directed to immediately support students’ greatest needs in the areas that mean the most to you.

Each year, Fairfield students call thousands of alumni and parents, who relish the opportunity to speak directly with current undergraduates and graduate students to hear about their individual experiences and aspirations, and to learn about updates from campus.

Your time spent making these phone calls directly supports The Fairfield Fund.
